Radio apps


Recommended Posts

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good radio app for my cellphone?

I've just had a bluetooth stereo fitted in the old truck, after years of being tired of constantly searching for stations when I drive across the country......or to Chattanooga.

I'm looking for something that just plays regular stations (rock, preferably)

For regular radio stations, there is iheartradio.  Free.

I use spotify.  Freakin' love it.  I save my data for netflix and download most albums while I'm home on wifi.  I do stream some, but not a ton.  Put a 128 gig sd card in the phone so I can download all my tunes is the highest quality format I can.

I have been using iHeart radio exclusively for about four years now. I create my own 'custom' stations and it keeps in in tunes that I am in the mood for. In the cars I link to the main stereo, on the bike I keep headphones in.

I would go insane without iHeart, as traditional radio kills me. Between morning shows, self absorbed DJs and a catalog of ten songs, it baffles me that folks still bother listening.

If you stream music, pay attention to your used data on your cell plan. I use Google Play Music all the time, but mostly on Wi-Fi. We went on vacation last year, and played music all day long for a week at the beach. By the last day, I was getting alerts that I had used 95% of my data plan. We had to increase our plan just to avoid a huge overage charge.

In my truck, I installed a radio with a USB port on it that can read a thumbdrive. I loaded it up with about 200 albums, and got rid of songs I don't care for. Then I put it on random play. It's like my own radio station, with no commercials.

Most newish vehicles now come with a USB port. You might see if your vehicle has one, and if it can read a thumbdrive. You can also just copy mp3's to your phone and play from it over the usb / aux port.
