Capital FM Radio App
Sleek and nice interface with much to offer
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any sort of instructions to guide new users through the process of navigating inside the app and accessing all of its features. Still, the interface is quite easy-to-use as all sections are neatly arranged into tabs and you have some settings under the overflow icon on the top right corner of the screen.
Firstly, you'll need to pick a city closest to your location so that the app can start connecting to a certain server and stream from there. You'll then get access to all sections and features inside the app.
Listen to all sort of stations
Once you've picked a location, the app starts streaming content directly from the official station letting you check content that's online, together with the name of the song playing and news articles on the bottom. Tap on one and it will open the text but you won't have the option to enlarge font size.
You can however share content on Facebook or Twitter fast, or any other social network. It also loads comments from the website and you can post your own but only if you login to Facebook.
Check out other stations
The app also lets you check out the schedule of programs for the day and it also provides users with a detailed description. You can also check programs for upcoming days. The news section is filled with all sort of articles and videos, but not all of them open inside the app and need access to YouTube.
Change the station easily by tapping on the overflow icon on the top right corner. You can pick from stations with classical music, news or pop songs. Hey all come with a schedule and news, but some of them also load ads.
The app also works in the lock screen, but you'll have to close it directly from within the menu or else the app would run in the background and drain your battery fast.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is easy-to-use, navigation is done using tabs but it's quite dull since it comes with few features and tools. |
Function7
It works just fine, but it needs some more features since its quite simplistic and only offers a handful of tools. |
Security8
It needs quite a few permissions from your phone and some of them aren't connected with its, but it shouldn't really pose any issues. |
Battery6
Consumption is quite high, especially if you don't close the app from the menu as it will continue to run in the background. |
Price8
It comes with banner and popup ads, without providing any ways in which you can remove them. |
Compatibility7
The developer didn't mention Android versions compatible with this app. |
It's a nice app but it does need some improvements and more features.
