About this app

Discover the new RFI Pure Radio, designed to offer you an optimised listening experience for all our programs (live, replay, and original).
Because we wanted to provide you a smoother experience, we have made every effort to simplify access to your favorite programs, both live and in podcasts:
• We created a new homepage that allows you to find your favorite shows or discover podcasts.
• We simplified access to the programs you are looking for by creating a search engine for shows and a search by themes.
• We integrated a module to download selected episodes. It allows you to listen to the episodes you have downloaded whenever you want, with or without a network.

RFI Pure Radio, watch and listen the world in your pocket.
Find all our programs, from live broadcasts to all our podcasts, replays and original creations. Now, you can download your favorite podcasts and listen to them whenever you want!

Ratings and reviews

The app works fine, the content is good, the media player is nice, but there are no subtitles even when they are available elsewhere. For example, when I listen to "journal monde" in Spotify, I get subtitles. Similarly, all "français facile" podcasts have subtitles on the "français facile" website, but not here.

The app needs a super fast connection to work otherwise the transmission keeps breaking. Funny enough, the experience is not any better on the rfi website with live streaming. It takes many attempts to connect and the transmission easily breaks This is forcing me to use a third party app to listen to my station, on the same connection that this app would not work.

Update in late 2020 made it unusable; this was unchanged with the new update in 2021. Plays live broadcasts for a minute then stops after no more than 2 min. Now with the Feb 2022 update, it's the worst it's ever been (plays for maybe 30 seconds then stops). Have tried mentioning it to the developers severaltimes. Doesn't seem to bother them. I am done with it! It's coming off my phone for good!
