Android Resurrected The Radio Star: RadioTime for Android Reviewed

Posted by Jon Westfall in "Android Software" @ 10:00 AM

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.

Summary: Sometimes you feel like going old-school with your streaming content. Why be burdened with music-only or a mostly-ad free podcast when you can hear terrestrial radio, the way it was meant to be heard, long ad-blocks and all. Seriously though, sometimes you just need to hear local radio, for either breaking news, local interest pieces, and more. RadioTime for Android fills this gap at a fairly low price. But how does this trial-less app match up on an actual device used by an actual Android Thoughts editor? Read on to find out more! Read more...
