Simple Radio: Live AM FM Radio

Simple Radio is named accurately, and the simplicity is the design rather than a shortage of features. It carries over ninety thousand stations and gets you listening in seconds, which is the whole promise of a radio tuner and the thing most streaming apps have forgotten in favour of accounts, recommendations and onboarding. Finding a station works several ways because people look for different things. Search by genre when you want pop, rock or jazz and do not care where it comes from. Search by category for news, talk or live sports. Search by country, state or city when you want a specific place, which is the feature that carries the most emotional weight: a station from the town you grew up in, or from a country you left, delivers local adverts, local traffic reports and local presenters in a way that no international stream reproduces. There is also value in simply drifting. With ninety thousand stations you can land somewhere unexpected and hear music you would never have searched for, which is what radio has always done better than any algorithm. Favourites keep the handful you return to at hand, and playback continues in the background while you do other things.
