XiiaLive - Internet Radio 3.3.0.4
Fluent and a bit confusing UI
With one tap and two swipes, you'll surely find a radio station that you'll like. The home section offers you two alternatives, either discover new radio stations online or listen to over 50,000 free stations, divided by genre.
The interface is pretty fluent, but it may seem confusing to new users, there are no instructions but a tutorial presenting all the features inside this app. Still, it comes with three skins to choose from, animation, a full screen mode, alarms so you'd wake up in the morning to your favorite station and some privacy settings.
Browse through various stations
XiiaLive makes it easy to discover new stations, by browsing through various categories like talk stations with shows in business, news, comedy and politics, or music channels with all sorts of genres, including songs from the 70s, country or stations with only hit songs.
You can navigate through the app while songs are playing in the background. There's a widget and the app plays even in the lock screen. You can add stations to your favorites list, check your history of stations and songs and share info easily.
Search for your favorite songs
Tags can be set for he app to provide you with suggestions and there's a sleep timer that you can use. In case you wish to listen to an aired song again, simply tap on the progress bar and drag it left. There's also an equalizer to help you adjust audio settings.
Enable your location services for the app to find great stations near you. The search bar lets you search for artists or songs currently playing on stations, so you can jump and listen to them.
