Simple Radio
Now, this app compares closest to iHeart Radio, which offers the easiest view available based upon location.

Once you find a station you enjoy, it can easily become a favorite, and you can see it from the button that links to the “Favorites” panel.
If you’re looking for a live FM station with loads of features, Simple Radio may not be your first choice. But with the easy-to-use interface, and the JukeBox feature, which allows you to easily scroll through loads of genres, this is still a great pick!
NextRadio Free Live FM Radio
NextRadio Free Live FM Radio appears to function like other radio apps such as Pandora and Sirius XM that focus on the music genre by station. Your location can be sensed automatically or you can search for the city you prefer to listen to. From there available stations are listed in categories by genre and you have the option of choosing the ones you would like to have as your favorites.
Unlike Simple Radio, which has basic features, NextRadio is a bit more comprehensive. You can even see the latest tweets, news, album releases, concerts, alerts and more. So, it’s up to you how much time you want to spend getting to know about all of your favorite music artists.
There is no need to pay for satellite radio like XM Radio or Sirius XM anymore. Today you can access music anytime, anywhere with just the tap of a finger. If you haven’t found everything you’re looking for here, check out our Best 10 Apps for FM Radio and see what you’re missing!
