If video killed the radio star, why doesn't MTV play music videos anymore?
This is really a great little app. It has nearly all the local AM and FM radio stations here in Nebraska, as well as NOAA weather radio and the Lincoln and Omaha police and fire departments. Plus I can listen to radio stations in other states or even other countries.
A word of caution: sign up for a RadioTime account BEFORE you start setting up presets in this app, because once you sign in, it will delete all your presets without warning and replace them with the presets from your RadioTime account.
EDIT: RadioTime is now TuneIn. The updated version of the app now has a sign-in for a TuneIn account, rather than a RadioTime account. They're the same thing, just a new name.
SECOND EDIT: Supposedly the latest version of this app will no longer delete existing presets when you sign in to your TuneIn account. I'd still play it safe and sign up for an account first.
EDIT THE THIRD: When I updated this app this morning, I discovered they have added new permissions. They now want to read your contacts and use accounts on this device. These are apparently for a new social media feature that is completely useless. The new user interface is extremely confusing and poorly designed. To access your favorite stations, for instance, you now have to press the tiny button labeled "My profile". If you put it in car mode, your favorites are now under "Follows". Yeah, that's totally obvious. I can no longer give this app 5 stars, I'm dropping it down to just one. It's just an awful app now. Social media killed the radio star.
