Product Category: Streaming Audio Software
Manufacturer: RadioTime
Where to Buy: Search "RadioTime" in Android Marketplace
Price: $2.99
System Requirements: 3G Data connection for best results, can use EDGE if necessary.
Pros:
- Great when you want to hear local radio from a distance;
- Online synchronization with RadioTime account presets;
- Efficient user interface.
Cons:
- Lack of customization in-app;
- Lack of trial version;
- Some stations cannot be streamed in-app, but can be streamed on the web.
