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.

Not compatible with android 11. This worked on previous versions for me but stopped after the upgrade to Android 11. From what I understand Android 11 has new permissions for access to your phones internal radio/antenna. Until this app is updated, it won't work on Android 11. If you are running an older version of android it should work if your phone has an fm tuner. Too bad as it was the only app in existence that actually used the built in fm tuner instead of streaming it online.

It's really good, unfortunately, it's becoming obsolete. It's nothing to do with the devs, and everything to do with enshittification from manufacturers. The app requires both an FM module in your phone, and a 3.5mm headphone jack (acts as an antenna). Phone makers are removing both. This app was really vital for me during and after hurricanes, but my old phone gave up the ghost and I had to "up"grade to a new one. Gonna miss this app and the vital service it provides.

This app is really convenient. However, the problem with it is that whenever I choose a radio station to play, it doesn't show a song that's currently playing or the history of previous songs that played recently, and of course, we cannot give a song currently playing or recently played a like or dislike. That's the only issue with the app. If only these issues get fixed, then I would download this app again.

back to basics! This appears to be the only app that supports the FM chip in some phones. my galaxy s7 has an actual fm radio receiver. this app added streaming at one point but the it stopped working. I stopped using it but just checked again and they have gotten rid of the extra features and the radio works again. no internet, no problem . the only issue is on startup it says "no network " and doesn't show local stations. you can still use the basic tuner. happy to have this secret feature.

Hi Angelo,
This is a known issue with some Samsung devices, and it isn't specific to NextRadio. Some people have had luck by disabling features such as Adapt Sound, SoundAlive+ or Smart Volume, but for others this hasn’t worked. We've reported this issue to Samsung, but are not aware of a fix.
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.
