EMERGENCY LISTENING CAPABILITIES:
NextRadio offers two ways to listen to live, local FM Radio. If your device has the FM receiver chip activated, you will be able to listen to local, terrestrial FM radio which uses less data and saves your battery life compared to streaming. The activated FM chip allows you to listen to NextRadio during times of emergency, working even when cell towers are down. The cord from your headphone or stereo cable act as an antenna to receive local FM radio signals.

Ratings and reviews

Very useful app. There is NO competition on local FM radio field, so it is difficult to compare. I’m using this app almost every day during daily walking. However I have some issue: 1. After latest update, stations added manually become 'orphaned', and no accessible. They have to be re-created again. 2. Interface is quit crude, and not matching to new phones themes (maybe user should be able to create or apply skin?) 3. Annoying prompt to enter location on start (looks like app has memory span like fruit fly and is forgetting) 4. Manually added stations often jump to section “Non Local Favorites” and their are NOT ACCESSIBLE – Stations have to be RE-CREATED. Could not find reasoning behind this behavior 5. Station created manually have no ability to add description. It will be nice if each station had some description, URL, phone, email. etc...And capture volume buttons to behave the same way how some Players do (double vol up = next station)

Why all the whining? Okay, it doesn't stream anymore… That was obviously a business decision. But you can still use this to tune into local FM stations, without needing data or Net connections, if your phone has an FM chip. As other reviewers have noted, you must know what your local FM frequencies are, so you can tune to them manually—but it works great! Thanks!

Perfect radio experience. I used to have a mini radio, like 15 years ago and I loved it. Years passed, phones become smarter, having all items cameras, calendars, calculators etc. Some started having internal radio too. No need for subscription, no need to have cellular access, as basic as a radio. Signals already around us. No delays, no buffers, no restrictions, no logins, you can hear what is broadcasted. One little feedback, I cannot direct music to bluetooth loudspeaker while using jack

What's new

NextRadio is going back to basics. Streaming is no longer supported, but you can still tune to your favorite local stations on FM-enabled devices.
