TuneIn Radio 7.1
TuneIn Radio is an app that gives you access to over 100,000 radio stations from all over the world, and some four million podcasts. It’s not just music that you can enjoy via TuneIn Radio, but also other types of content, such as sports, college football and news.
Local radios at your disposal
The app can even scan for your location and provide local radio stations that you can enjoy. You’ll even get to see what show is currently on so you can decide if you want to pick that one. That is, of course, in case you’re actually familiar with that radio’s shows and VJs.
Alternatively, you can have the app display radios that are in a certain language. Taking things a step further, you may pick if you want the radio to play music, to talk about various topics or to focus on sports.
If you pick music, like most of you will, it’s possible to decide what type of music you want to listen to – varying from various decades, to alternative rock, blues, Christmas, classic rock, Disco, folk, Indie, reggae, rock, and so on.
You can control the volume, check out more info on the station you’re listening to, share with the world and check for comments from other people.
Some cool features enable you to check out the radio’s schedule and playlist and pick a stream if more are available. More importantly, however, you can enjoy a clock display rather than the regular radio interface. It’s even possible to set up an alarm at a certain time so you don’t even have to leave the app or, more importantly, set a sleep timer of up to 120 minutes if you want to fall asleep enjoying your favorite music.
Engage car mode
The app comes with a car mode where the buttons get bigger and you don’t have to take your eyes off the road for too long if you want to handle the app. The playback screen gets bigger and there are four buttons to help you along – Following, Search, Recents and Recommended. Of course, remember to only use these when you’re at a stop sign.
All in all this is a pretty nice app that gives you access to endless radio stations from anywhere in the world, which means that it suits users from everywhere, something that not many apps can brag about.
