Radyo 1.0.2
This utility servers as the gateway to a plethora of stations from all over the world that stream online their music and talk shows, so anyone can tune in.
Plain and simple interface for ease of use
When opening the app for the first time you will notice it is bent on practicality, trying to provide the most appropriate manner of handling all the selections you make. The region selection area is the place that contains all the countries with Internet radio broadcasts and you can simple tap on one or more items o the list to have them displayed in the home screen.
The navigation is pretty smooth and it's important to note that the quality of the sound you hear depends on what is being streamed by the stations and is not influenced by Radyo.
Quickly find the available stations, play the music or save the songs
The search function is a good way to start playing around with this app, especially if you have on your mind some radios that you would like to listen. You should keep in mind that the query applies only to the regions you selected. Saving stations to the "Favorites" list is a breeze and Radyo even provides quick access to the ones you listen to more frequently.
In case you want to save a song or a radio show so you can listen to it again, you can rely on the recording feature. A really cool function you will find in this app is the possibility to add custom stations, that do not appear in the search or anywhere inside the utility.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The looks are pretty decent, but could be a lot better, especially if some customizations were available. Instead, the focus is clearly on functionality as the way in which everything is organized inside Radyo points out. |
Function8
Radyo serves it purpose very well and even comes with a few extras like the recording feature and the possibility to manually put in stations that are not otherwise available. Unfortunately, there are quite a few useless entries in the radios list, as many of the stations are no longer functional. |
Security9
This application doesn't seem too intrusive in terms of gathering and transmitting user data, but it still requires access to phone and owner identities. |
Battery7
With moderate power consumption Radyo will allow users to enjoy hours of good music before having to plug in the handset for a bit of recharging. |
Price10
Since the service is offered for free and there are no hidden fees, intrusive ads or subscription requests for enjoying the streaming radios from all over the world, the app is spot on in this respect. |
Compatibility8
Radyo is able to run on all modern Windows Phones, while it needs only a screen resolution of 480 by 800 pixels and music library and playback access to function properly. |
