Built for how you actually listen
From the car to the pillow: the whole app, on one screen of tiles.
Know what you’re hearing
Stations broadcast the track they’re playing over the stream itself. Listen Now Radio reads it live and pairs it with artwork, so the now-playing screen shows the song and not just the call sign. When a station sends nothing, the station’s own name, genre and country take its place — and on Premium the app can identify the song by listening to the stream instead.
CarPlay, properly
Favorites, Recents and Browse as real CarPlay tabs, plus a Now Playing screen with play, pause and favourite. Set it up once at home and never touch it while driving.
Star-rated streams
Every station carries a 1–5 star rating combining its audio bitrate with how reliable its track info is. HD marks 320 kbps and above.
Stations near you
Allow location once and Listen Now Radio surfaces broadcasters around you — the local way to find local radio.
Favourites, one tap away
Star the stations you keep coming back to and they are waiting on the Favorites tab — and in CarPlay. Premium removes the limit on how many you can keep.
Recently played
The app remembers what you tuned into, so getting back to last night’s station is one tap.
Sleep timer
PremiumSet a countdown and the stream fades out on its own. A Premium feature.
Plays while you’re elsewhere
PremiumKeep listening with the app in the background or the screen locked, with lock-screen controls. A Premium feature.
AirPlay & Bluetooth

Try before you install
The App Clip lets someone hear a station straight from a link, without downloading anything first.
