Make your own radio station and instantly broadcast your voice - and your ideas, and your music, and whatever else you want - to the world.
* VOICE: record yourself, your friends, or anything else you can hear around you. (You can even record by holding your device up to your ear so you just look like you’re talking on the phone.)
* MUSIC: pull in any song you can think of from Spotify.
* INTERVIEWS: call any phone number from the app, record the conversation, and add it to your station.
* CALL INS: your listeners can call in to your station at any time. If you like what they have to say, you can add it to your station for everyone to hear.
* CLIPS: import pre-existing audio from your computer or the web.
There’s lots more, but we’ll let you download and discover the rest for yourself.

My review
Review from Nicholas Pike
Nicholas Pike
Kind of a confusing app, and it plays audio out of your phone speakers while you are trying to sign up? Don't bother trying in a quiet office, or a location where you aren't expecting your speakers to full blast start talking.
Anchor FM Inc. March 8, 2017
Hey Nicholas! Sorry about this :( There is a warning that audio will play, but it sounds like it's not obvious enough. We're on it. Reviews

Love this concept but there are a few things that should be fixed for a 5 star rating. Discovery is HORRIBLE! As a new listener, you can't find content beyond featured/sponsored stations. Some ppl use this app as an escape from other social media that pushes what's considered 'trending' by popular demand down our throats. The leader board should not exist it should be more of a rotational chart that allows users to discover new content. Make discovery possible, users are NOT your free promoters. Trash the leader board, we are NOT here for competition we are here to simply share with each other from wave to wave. Please fix this so this wonderful concept and the people who love it will stick around

Great app, I just love listening to my own rants with background music 👍🏽 Any support for the interview function in the UK?

Great app, especially for sharing your musical tastes with friendsI
Corey Harris
App has been updated and fixed! 4 stars, the only thing I would like to see at this point is better discover ability. I love this app and it is part of my daily routine.
Richard Olafeyide
Beautiful, just beautiful..a very sleek app with simplicity in mind
Claire Nelson
I love the concept and I have been loving using it. My main issue is that the android app isn't as functional as the iOS app. I have also been having trouble listening and recording. It is possible that this could just be my old worn down phone but I think the android app just needs a little bit of work. I also wish that there was a better way to find creators besides the recently uploaded and the reccomended. I am going to completely charge my phone and restart though to see if it is just me. I'm loving the app though.

Thanks so much, Claire! If you're still experiencing any problems after restarting, please feel free to get in touch with us (support@anchor.fm) so we can help troubleshoot. And if you're looking for new stations, try searching for stuff you're into! Hope that helps and that you have a great day. The autoplay of random stations after I'm done with the one I want to listen to is annoying. I can't find a way to turn it off
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Hey Bil, thanks so much for the feedback. We're considering making autoplay after stations optional and will give you a heads up if/when that setting is available. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you in the meantime! The concept behind this app is just so smart and well thought out. I'm using it and will be using it for a long time to come. It's a great app!! Literally revolutionizing the radio!!
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks so much, Moslim! The music keeps stopping after every song (with spotify unlocked). It still shows as playing since the pause icon is visible.
Anchor FM Inc. May 17, 2017
Hi Ayman, this usually happens when there's low connectivity since full songs are streamed from Spotify and can't be cached ahead of time. We're working on improvements to this, but in the meantime would recommend toggling off full tracks to resolve this when it happens. Sorry for the inconvenience! Anchor is the app that I've been looking for a long time. It has everything that a podcaster would love to have. This is incredible.
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Aw, thank you Manfry! We really appreciate it. Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thank you! Let us know if there's anything we can do to make the app even better for you :) Not sure what happened recently, but the phone option no longer works when checked and automatically uses speaker mode.
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Hey Nicholas! Telephone mode should be fixed as of the latest update. Please let us know if you continue to experience any issues! Love the app. Great way to get the news and shorter podcasts that fit in my commute. Awesome features like call in and the applause.

Thanks, Tyler! Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks so much, Derek! Anchor FM Inc. May 23, 2017
Sorry about this, Anthony! It looks like there's a bug with the media player at the moment. We hope to have this resolved within the next week or two. Thanks for letting us know this was going on! Micropodcasts, modern radio, social interaction over content. Great job guys. Great app
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks so much, Adam! Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks, Michael! Just discovered Anchor, very much a beginner in utilising it, but like being able share knowledge in the community. I missed yesterdays content though as my phone was playing up. #missedanswertoaquestion
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks so much, Dianne! Anchor has been such a great way for me to do what I love to do, talk about movies, and in a way that's easy & more accessible than other platforms I use such as YouTube. LOVE IT!
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks so much, Eddie! It's okay. I love the app, but there is just little content of interest to me. Either that, or the content is very hard to search.
Anchor FM Inc. May 1, 2017
Hey Joshua! Sorry to hear you're having trouble finding content to listen to. We'd love to know more about what you're looking for and see if we can help track it down (and make it easier for others to find going forward). Please feel free to email us, support@anchor.fm! Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks, Christina! Need backlog of previous broadcast as I believe the IPhone has. Otherwise a great app and a concept.
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks so much for the kind words, Morten! We hope to bring Episodes (past content) to Android very soon. Overall a good app, still early in its lifetime, seems to have a good mix of anchors, I like it!
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks, Jerry! Its radio meets podcasts and amazing short daily mini episodes. Great app
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks, Joel! Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks Phillip! Please let us know if there's anything we can do to make Anchor even better for you. Got the app to record phone interviews and it won't even make the phone calls. Waste of time.
Anchor FM Inc. April 20, 2017
Hey Mark, so sorry to hear you're having trouble with Interviews. We'd love to troubleshoot this for you - please email details to support@anchor.fm. Thank you! The app didn't even play the full songs from Spotify. When click to hear the full song, instead it kept loading and loading and it didn't play the song at all.
Anchor FM Inc. April 20, 2017
Hey there! Thanks for letting us know. This should be fixed in the latest update of the app. If you're still having trouble, please email us at support@anchor.fm so we can help you out! Incredible design, great UX interaction, awesome updates every week or so. I just wish you could navigate the app while listening to a station. Keep it up, 100% would recommend.
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Hey Mauricio! Just wanted to let you know that it's now possible to navigate while listening. Thanks for the feedback!! I've been having issues playing full tracks with Spotify since I downloaded a few weeks ago. To fix it, I've either had to force close my Spotify app, or restart my phone and open up Anchor. Opening up Spotify will not allow Anchor to take over streaming full tracks through Spotify. It's a bit annoying to deal with, but otherwise an enjoyable app. I really enjoy and primarily listen to the Washed Up Emo station.
Anchor FM Inc. April 7, 2017
Hey Jayse - just wanted to let you know these Spotify issues should be fixed now. Please email us if you experience any other trouble: support@anchor.fm! Update: no Android Auto support means it's impossible to use in the car so I'm uninstalling. It's like they're try to make it difficult to listen to! Seems like a good start but lacking Chromecast support is a major flaw. I'll update my review as I gain more editor with it though. I'm looking forward to a new adventure.
Anchor FM Inc. April 7, 2017
Hey David! Chromecast support is coming very soon, and we hope to be able to integrate with Android Auto in the near future. Thanks for your feedback! Love the concept. We don't have Spotify in Thailand so it would super nice if song recommendations are linked to Apple Music or other platforms.
Anchor FM Inc. April 24, 2017
Hi May, thanks so much for the feedback! We hope to be able to add many more music services soon. We'll keep you posted! I love the concept and the fact that creating a broadcast is as simple as simple as lifting your phone to your face. I would however love to have the ability to pause and edit recordings. Hopefully these features will come in a future update but so far so good!
Pretty cool app! I used to load up Spotify first thing in the mornings, but now Anchor is my default. I do have an issue where full tracks do not load up on my phone and only able to hear a few seconds of the songs that are played on stations.
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Hey Gerardo! Just wanted to check in and see if you're still experiencing these problems with Spotify, or if that's been resolved for you. Thank you! I've found some decent content to listen to on this app. I love the idea behind the app too. It's like a more social version of podcast's. There don't seem to be any bugs that I can find, so at least on the Pixel with 7.1.2 it plays nice.
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thanks, Benjamin! Let us know if there's anything we can do to make the Anchor experience even better for you. The design is confusing and restricting, the app lacks basic features.
Anchor FM Inc. March 22, 2017
Hi Tilen! Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, and sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the app. We'd love to hear what features you'd like to see in Anchor. Please feel free to email ideas to support@anchor.fm. Thank you! Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Thank you! I just started with my station yesterday and my experience was just wonderful. All in all, I would remark the fact that you can't move the app into an SD card, and so I've having to erase the app's cache on a daily basis
Anchor FM Inc. May 24, 2017
Hey Juan! Just wanted to let you know that you can now move Anchor to an external SD card if you'd prefer. Thanks for the feedback! I don't get it. Just gave it a try and chose that I want to listen to science. All of a sudden Notorious B.I.G. starts playing...
Anchor FM Inc. March 11, 2017
Hi Krzysztof! Thanks for the feedback. There's a variety of different types of stations in each category, with more being created every day. If there's a station you don't like, you can double tap the "next" button to skip to the next station! Hope this helps - thanks for giving Anchor a try. Crash when I want save my recording. I had been trying up my recording and I can't do.
Anchor FM Inc. March 11, 2017
Hi Israel! So sorry to hear you got a crash. Could you please email details to support@anchor.fm so we can help troubleshoot? Thank you! Review deleted
