It's even better than a real FM Radio as it lets you access regional stations that you otherwise wouldn't be able to. You can choose your country and then your preferred FM radio station. Something like Smart Radio FM is clean and simple to use.

If you don't have a radio app installed, getting one can be easily done via the Play Store. Most standard radio apps are not really feature-packed. If you're interested in these things you'd best go for a web-based app like Audials (see below).

Unfortunately, radios are a pure receiving medium, so you won't be able to search for specific tracks or skip songs. Also, only a few FM radio apps will allow you to record. Some Android smartphones have a system app that can be operated like a conventional car radio - it searches for stations, will save your favorites, and you can listen with headphones, the internal speaker or via Bluetooth. Theoretically, you can receive FM radio via your smartphone, although that's becoming harder with the removal of the headphone jack on many smartphones - the plug acts as an antenna, and since USB-C headphones don't have it, they can't perform the same function. Here is our list of the best radio apps you can get for your Android device.

From the most niche podcasts to the biggest commercial stations - everything is right at your fingertips, so you can spend the rest of your life listening to your favorite radio stations or discovering new ones.
