Live Radio
The Best Free Internet Radio App for iPhone
Live Radio is a free internet radio app built specifically for Apple devices. It turns your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and CarPlay into a receiver for live radio from every part of the world: more than 50,000 stations in every genre, language and country. There are no ads, no subscription and no trial that turns into a paid plan. You install the app once, and every feature is available from the first launch.
50,000+ Live Radio Stations Worldwide
The catalog covers Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, Electronic, Hip-Hop, Country, Reggae, Latin, News, Sports and Talk stations from more than 200 countries. You can search the full library by station name, genre, tag or country and get results as you type. The catalog is checked and cleaned continuously, so the stream you tap starts playing right away, and new stations are added every week.
Local Radio Stations Near You
Live Radio highlights the most popular radio stations in your city or region, which makes it useful for commuters, expats and travelers. When you arrive in a new country, the Near You feed updates automatically and shows what local listeners actually play. You can also pick any city or country manually and browse its top stations in two taps.
Now Playing with ICY Metadata and Shazam
The Now Playing screen reads ICY metadata in real time, so the current track, artist and album appear the moment a station broadcasts them. Many internet radio stations send no song information at all. For those, one tap on the Shazam button identifies the song in seconds and can take you straight to it in Apple Music.
A Free Radio App with No Ads and No Subscription
Many radio apps that call themselves free show banner ads, insert audio commercials between stations, or lock search and favorites behind a paid tier. Live Radio does none of this. Every feature, every station and every device works for free, and nothing in the app asks you to upgrade.
CarPlay Radio App, Apple Watch and AirPlay
In the car, Live Radio appears on the CarPlay screen with full browsing, Now Playing and favorites, so you can change stations without picking up the phone. The Apple Watch app starts, stops and switches stations from your wrist. Through AirPlay, streams play on HomePod, Apple TV and any AirPlay or Bluetooth speaker. Background playback, lock screen controls and Control Center integration work the way they do in the best native iOS apps.
Favorites, Search, Sleep Timer and Themes
Stations you favorite stay pinned at the top of your list. Search covers the entire library by name, genre, tag and country. The sleep timer stops playback after the time you choose, which makes the app a good bedside radio. The interface supports Dark and Light themes and can follow your system setting automatically.
Localized in 50 Languages
The interface is translated into 50 languages and works in every App Store region. Wherever you open the app, it speaks your language and starts with stations that are relevant to where you are.
Who Live Radio Is For
Commuters who listen to news and music on the road. Expats who miss their hometown stations. Travelers who want local radio in every new city. Music fans exploring genres from other countries, and sports fans following broadcasts from other continents. If you are looking for a simple, fully free way to listen to live radio online on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and CarPlay, Live Radio was built for you.
