World FM Radio 1.5
One of the apps that you could use on your phone is World FM Radio. It has a wide selection of radio stations literally from all over the world and lets you sort them out using the many filters.
Intuitive interface with plenty of features at hand
The app launches directly with the home section, it doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions to get you started. There's a side menu with quick access to sections inside the app, but it doesn't have any customization features.
It also lacks material design, but the UI is quite fresh and intuitive. The app has some settings that you can make to its functions, it may be set to show the playing status in the notification areas, but it doesn't have any controls for it.
Check out all sort of radio stations
The home screen displays a whole list of radio stations from all over the world. Users can filter them by country, station name, song name, language or genre. You can pick whichever country you wish, the app basically has access to all of them.
There's also a top 500 which includes the best stations available out there. The search bar lets you find songs playing at stations. However, keep in mind that the app needs a lot of time to refresh and even though you might be hoping to listen to the listed song, the station may be playing another one.
More features and tools
Users have the option to favorite the stations that they like the most so that they can find them faster in the side menu. Other than that, the app comes with a sleep timer which automatically closes World FM Radio after a certain period of time that you can adjust yourself.
It has a section with recently played songs and there are controls on the screen, so you can browse through stations while listening to music. You'll also find controls in the lock screen to make it easier to manage the app. Sound quality is okay, but it does depend on the station and your internet connection.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is clean and fresh, but it could use a more appealing design and some way in which users could distinguish between stations. |
Function7
It takes a while to load stations and refresh the song listing so you're have to be really patient with this app. |
Security9
It needs few permissions from your device, which is quite nice since it shouldn't pose any privacy issues. |
Battery1
Consumption is really high, you'll have to keep an eye on resources when using this app and plug in your phone if possible. |
Price8
It comes with lots of banner ads which take away the focus and it doesn't have any way in which you could remove them. |
Compatibility8
The app should work on devices running Android version 4.0 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
It's an useful app but it needs improvements.
