No account to create, no adverts to sit through, no subscription to cancel. Just a very large number of radio stations and a way to find them.
Local, national, college and internet-only stations from around the world, in one search box.
No sign-up, no profile, no advertising, and nothing about you collected. Ever.
Search by name, genre, country or language — and combine terms to narrow things down.
Save stations into named lists — Jazz, News, Sunday morning — and rename them whenever you like.
See what a station really is — its genre tags, where it broadcasts from and how it streams — before you commit to it.
Plenty of stations use older or unusual streaming formats that other players give up on. Pentode Radio handles both modern HLS and legacy HTTP streams.
Stations that have gone off air get flagged rather than failing silently, and they're rechecked periodically to see whether they've come back.
Send audio to a HomePod or Apple TV, and control playback from the lock screen or your headphones.
Export and import them as a plain file, so you can move them between devices. No cloud, no lock-in.
Got a stream URL that isn't in the catalogue? Paste it in and play it.
Built for the platforms it runs on, not wrapped up in a web view.
£0.99 for the app and an optional £0.99 upgrade. No renewals, no reminders, no card on file.
The app is £0.99. Premium is a single £0.99 upgrade inside the app — buy it once and it's yours for good, with no subscription attached.

The things people ask before buying.
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no profile. Install it and it works.
From Radio-Browser, an open, community-maintained directory of internet radio stations. It's a public catalogue that anyone can contribute to, which is why it contains everything from national broadcasters to one-person stations run out of a spare room.
Basic gives you the 1,000 most popular stations and up to 40 favourites. Premium opens up the entire 60,000-station catalogue with full search, unlimited favourites and lists, unlimited import and export, and station health details. Premium is a one-time £0.99 upgrade — there is no subscription on either tier.
No. £0.99 buys the app, and a single optional £0.99 upgrade buys Premium. Nothing renews, nothing expires, and there is no recurring charge of any kind.
Yes. If you have a stream URL, you can paste it in and play it directly.
It gets flagged rather than failing silently, so you can see why a station in one of your lists isn't playing. Stations that come back to life have their flag cleared.
Yes. Favourites export to a plain file you can keep or move anywhere, and import back in. On Basic you can export; Premium lifts the limit on both directions.
No. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your favourites are stored only on your own device and are never sent to us. The full details are in the privacy policy.
