Remember years ago, when you’d be sitting in your kitchen, messing around with your radio’s antenna, trying to find a channel that’s not just static? It feels like the need for a radio has long since passed, especially in younger generations.

But what if you still want to listen to radio without actually having one? If that’s the case, check out these five apps for listening to the radio from your phone.

  1. TuneIn Radio

    TuneIn is your go-to app for all things audio. It has hundreds of different stations, including news, talk, and music radio. TuneIn will show you which stations are popular in your area, which focus on sports, news, and which are local to you. You can also find stations in a range of different languages.

On top of radio, TuneIn gives you access to podcasts that span a range of topics, like true crime, mindfulness, comedy, and technology. You can favorite specific radio and podcast channels so that you can easily go back to them at any time, which saves you the process of searching for your favorite stations each time.

You can also use the app’s car mode option if you want to listen to radio or podcasts on the go. Car mode is essentially a far more basic version of the app: a simple black and white screen with four main options: favorites, recents, recommended, and voice search. You can only voice search for stations via car mode, rather than searching manually, making for a much safer experience on the road.

The TuneIn app does show regular ads during your listening time, but these can be removed with the premium version, which costs around $10 a month. The premium version also offers content that you cannot access using the free version.

  1. My Radio

    My Radio gives you access to a huge range of radio stations, music, and talk shows—50,000 of them, in fact. The app operates in a similar way to TuneIn Radio, where you can refine your search to talk radio, news, sports, and more. The layout is slightly more slick, looking more similar to Spotify than anything else.

You can find stations and shows from around the world by browsing content in the app’s Countries option. Here, you can find stations from Poland to China, Japan to Jamaica. You can also browse through a number of different genres, including classical, alternative, house, and oldies.

If you find some stations you love, you can like your chosen stations and keep them on your Favorites page, so that you can get back to listening to them quickly and easily.

The My Radio app does have a premium version, with which you can get rid of ads, set a sleep timer, and access higher quality sound. But you can access the majority of the features with the free version alone, as long as you don’t mind the ads!

  1. Radio.net

    Radio.net offers a wide range of radio stations, podcasts, and talk shows for you to choose from. On the app’s discover page, you can search through hundreds of different radio stations, including the top 100 stations on the app.

If you’re not feeling radio, you can check out the app’s podcast page to find podcasts on crime, parenting, health, true crime, and more. Like some of the other apps mentioned here, Radio.net also allows you to favorite your top podcasts and stations for easy access at any time.

You can remove the ads shown on the app with its premium version, but you’ll be fine with the free version alone if they don’t bother you.

This is perfect for those who just want to listen to their favorite radio stations, rather than talk shows and podcasts.

You can either scroll through the list of radio stations on the app to find the right one for you, or you can simply search your desired station via the app’s search bar option. You can also create a favorites list so that you can get back to listening to your top stations quickly without having to do a search.

    Dash Radio is a great app for accessing all things audio. However, it works a little differently from the other apps mentioned here. Instead of offering your typical, big-name radio stations, Dash Radio has its own set of channels focused on a wide range of different musical genres, from jazz, to electric, to pop, and beyond.

All of the content produced and offered by Dash Radio is totally original, with over 80 of its own stations and almost 500 different radio personalities. You can find such stations as Afrobeats, Disco Fever, Grunge, Pure Soul, and Y2K. Regardless of the decade, or genre, Dash Radio will have the kind of music you’re looking for.

There’s even a SoundCloud radio station available with hundreds of original tracks to listen to.

You also won’t have to deal with frustrating ads during your listening time when using Dash Radio, which is a plus. But be mindful that the app will automatically favorite stations that match the genre preferences you enter when signing up, so, if you’d rather start from scratch finding favorites on your own, simply skip this phase of signup.

Things certainly have changed from the days when we’d all listen to our radios in the morning. Now you can access just as many stations, if not more, on your own phone. With these apps, you can access your favorite stations and podcasts wherever you are, without having to mess about with an antenna.
