Description

The NextRadio app lets you experience live and local FM radio on your smartphone in a brand new way. Get a real-time view of what’s playing on-air and interact live with your favorite local radio stations. Download FREE FM radio on your Android smartphone today!

KEY FEATURES:
• Tune in to live, local FM radio stations on your phone
• See what’s on-air with Live Guide or browse radio stations by genre or frequency

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 cord from your headphone or stereo cable act as an antenna to receive local FM radio signals. If you don’t have a compatible phone you can stream radio stations through the NextRadio app.

PARTICIPATING RADIO STATION FEATURES:
• See artwork and song information while you listen
• Buy the song you just heard right from your phone
• Get a list of recently played songs
• Give feedback on the songs you like or dislike
• Share what you're listening to on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram

I want to be able to use my phone as an fm receiver in emergency situations when all internet would presumably be down. Cant test in airplane mode. UPDATE: dev response worked so changed to 4 stars! But...u still cant use the app offline if you havent already entered a zipcode. Change that for 5 stars ty!

I like the fact it doesn't use up my data. I enjoy streaming station and listening over Bluetooth speaker. Too bad that it isn't possible to plug headset/antenna while playing over Bluetooth at same time. Still a great app.

Not everyone knows that earphones, earbuds ect .... Can receive fm radio signal. I turned off wifi and my data and still worked real time local fm radio stations. Such a good app!

Kori Linae Carothers

This version is very glitchy. It keeps messaging that I dont have earphones plugged in. Like already know that.

This is one of very few 5 star ratings I've been able give. The app is easy to use, it does everything they say it'll do, the sound quality is great, and it's free. I can't ask anymore ftom an app.

Bobby Wells

Great app, I can listen to both my local stations over FM and also stream my favorites from other cities all in this app instead of needing a bunch of apps! Works great and doesn't drain my battery

Hi John, Airplane mode also disables the FM chip. We have no control over this. You can separately turn off cellular data and disconnect from wi-fi, and then use NextRadio. Without an Internet connection, NextRadio will be unable to update the Live Guide, but the Basic Tuner will work without issue.

Halley Keeler August 9, 2017

I think but it stacky outside but i dont know if you need wifi for it, its just my phone or it doesnt work

Khyle August 10, 2017

I've always enjoyed this app but now even in tuner mode you get ads. Reverted back to an earlier version to get back the true nature of what this app once was.

Samantha B. August 16, 2017

Closest to having a real radio but SUCKS 4 internet service to listen to favorite station even elsewhere like an out of Twn station ! Great job although~*

John Hill August 13, 2017

I'm on the road constantly, hoped this would be a solution to scanning the radio. How do i find stations? Not intuitive at all!

NextRadio August 14, 2017

Hi John, If you have a data connection and location services turned on, NextRadio will show stations in your area automatically. If you need assistance, please contact our Support Team from NextRadio's menu under Settings.

Blossom Joseph August 14, 2017

This is the worst update ever you have to go through every stations before you can find the one you like,instead of it move to favorites station it stays right were all the other stations is, so it come like every time you used this app you have to look over and i over

Claude Austin August 11, 2017

Just tried it for the very first time, very straight forward, and easy to program and don't eat up a lot of data. You can stream your favorite stations from anywhere.

Allen Quinn August 12, 2017

I like the app tremendously. The only issue is that it does not rotate on my Pixel. If it were not for this, it would be 5 stars.

August 8, 2017

I liked this app until the update on 25 July 2017. Previously, it didn't have ads for the Basic Tuner. Now, after the update, the Basic Tuner has ads under the hood of a new look. Don't update.

Brian Watkins August 11, 2017

Sounds very buzzy with feedback distortion whenever Im in an area that is close to a tower. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy s7.

NextRadio August 14, 2017

Hi Brian, The S7/S7 Edge is susceptible to interference which can cause noise like you describe. This is an issue with the FM chip itself, and we have informed Samsung. This problem does not affect NextRadio's Streaming Mode. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thomas Pace August 8, 2017

It used to work great for the station I listen to, but since the update it doesn't work any more.

NextRadio August 9, 2017

Hi Thomas, Sorry you're having trouble. Please contact our Support Team by tapping Support in NextRadio's menu under Settings. We'd be happy to help.

Walter Kovacs August 10, 2017

SO GLAD THIS FINALLY WORKS WITH MY LG PHONE ON VERIZON! !!!!!!! :D (thanks for nothing, Net 10): This has my two favorite FM stations - WLVR 91.3 and WODE 99.9- i can't wait to finally try this! !!!!! 😀😄😍😎

Alexander Truman August 9, 2017

It allows me to listen to the local radio stations I want without being uncomfortable in my car.

Dave VanHoecke August 11, 2017

Thanks for the reply from nextradio streaming Works quite well too bad Verizon decided to Nuke my FM tuner but thank you

NextRadio August 11, 2017

Hi Dave, NextRadio will work in streaming mode on your phone, but the M8 sold by Verizon is not FM-enabled.

Robert Carbonell August 8, 2017

Wonderful app, is there a way to program the app when you connect the 3.5 wire to give you the option to play Via speaker or Bluetooth?

NextRadio August 9, 2017

Hi Robert, Most smartphones can't send analog FM audio to Bluetooth. But in NextRadio's new streaming mode, Bluetooth does work, and headphones aren't required. Hope this helps.

Rick Wood August 9, 2017

You suck now I can't save station that aren't local !!! you know how to screw up a good thing !!!

NextRadio July 31, 2017

Hi Rick, You should be able to add non-local stations to your Favorites. If you continue to have trouble, please contact Support from NextRadio's menu under Settings. Thanks.

August 10, 2017

Good App. Just, wish you didn't need an antenna (headphones) for some of my favorite stations.

Carlos Reyes August 11, 2017

Finalmente una aplicación de radio que no consuma datos y tenga una ui genial.

Billy Overturf August 14, 2017

Your latest update sucks. Seriously fix this app. Constantly goes in and out. Always buffering, doesn't matter if it's connected to Wi-Fi or if I'm using cell service. Fix it please

Eric Katz August 15, 2017

Didn't know the S7 could pick up FM directly. Works good.

Brad Klose August 10, 2017

I've been waiting for this app on verizon, it's about time works great

Charlie Simpson August 10, 2017

Hi Charlie, Sorry you're having trouble. Please contact our Support Team from NextRadio's menu under Settings so we can help you out. Thanks.

Greenville Cycling and Drones Lee August 9, 2017

Best radio app. Data free is the best part.

Lee Thomas August 14, 2017

Its funny that you say your headphones are your antenna but yet it will find the stations without headphones heres a thought take that feature off because its useless especially when everyone bluetooths now and your app proves you wrong and it picks up stations without headphones the whole purpose of Bluetooth is to get away from cables

NextRadio August 14, 2017

Hi Lee, NextRadio now has a streaming mode that does not require headphones. Without headhones plugged in, NextRadio defaults to streaming mode. FM mode still requires headphones.

Oyinlola Onibokun August 15, 2017

Unable to get most of the local stations

Sherita Perry August 15, 2017

Easy to listen to. The good thing is that you can use your headphones or you can listen offline without an antenna. Great music!☺

Chuck Seybert August 14, 2017

A convenient radio, works well.

Aaron Thompson August 11, 2017

Cool to be able to activate the true radio in my phone to save battery if I want to listen to a station within range. :-)

Chris Beck August 14, 2017

It is great for my radio experience. I am still learning the other features.

Mickey Whitson August 16, 2017

I haven't got to use it that much but i like it

Heather Loveridge August 16, 2017

I love that I can listen to live radio thru my phone and it doesn't even drain my battery. You can even take some radio stations you love with you on the road.

Henry Blackburn August 13, 2017

I travel a lot, but like to keep up with local news. This app fixes that.

Tim Hulla August 15, 2017

Was good untill new update lost alot of my favorite features

NextRadio August 15, 2017

Hi Tim, Please contact us by tapping Support in NextRadio's menu under Settings and let us know what features you're missing. Thanks.

Bernard Sutton August 12, 2017

Jeff Norton August 16, 2017
