NextRadio Launches iOS FM Radio Streaming App
NextRadio, the app with the most FM radio stations, announced today the launch of an iOS version of its free app for iPhone mobile device users. NextRadio offers the most local radio FM stations available through a single app to Apple users for the first time.
The TagStation-owned NextRadio app allows listeners to remain connected with any city or community while on the go, making radio listening easy, portable and enjoyable. The free app allows listeners to interact with local stations and browse by station, genre or location, giving users complete control of their listening experience.
One of NextRadio’s most innovative features is the Live Guide, which allows users to see and select from what’s playing on local stations in real time all at once, rather than search through each station for something they want to hear. The Live Guide interface displays album art and program details, creating a more intuitive and immersive experience for local audio content and music discovery. Ninety-one percent of the population listens to radio each week to learn about new artists, breaking news and entertainment, and to hear from their favorite radio personalities.
“We’re thrilled that NextRadio is now available for use on both iOS and Android devices,” says Paul Brenner, President of TagStation the power behind NextRadio. “We want to empower all users to enjoy local FM radio without having their content restricted by geographic location or choice of device and this expansion of our capabilities and market penetration is an important part of our strategy to give more people the easiest way to access mobile radio that they can enjoy at home, at work and on the go.”
NextRadio is still committed to unlocking the FM Chip in all phones but wants to offer consumers the choice to listen to live local radio on any phone. We developed a streaming version until this goal becomes a reality.
NextRadio original FM smartphone for Android has also been updated to support streaming and is available in the Google Playstore.
