How to listen to radio on iPhone?



What is the best radio in the world? We think that the best radio is the one that plays music that you love and avoids a lot of ads. Luckily, there are so many to choose from – it is just perfect for music lovers who listen to different kinds of music. In order to make your experience even better, we decided to check some of the most popular radios which can be played on your iPhone and see which one wins the prize!

Why radio? Because this is one of the simplest ways to discover new and trending music. Not mentioning that it is rather quick (in a sense of finding the best wave) and usually free. Even if you are the pickiest music-phile in the world, there is a chance that you will find something new for yourself.

Nowadays people can access radio from their laptops, phones, iPads and pretty much anything what can be connected to the Internet. They usually choose to either stream online or to use different apps – it means that their favourite wave follows them wherever they go (well, almost – we would not recommend going hiking or somewhere in the woods – the signal might be not that good). Today we will talk about both of them. We decided to focus on the radios which were specifically created so that they can be played on iPhones. So let’s get started!

This radio is a part of VOX Premium Music Player, the player which makes sure that all music formats (even lossless!) are played in the best quality possible.

Whether it is rock, blues or jazz – you will definitely be able to find something what you are looking for in the myriad of different playlists. You can access them if you are just in the mood for some study or fun music, or you can register and have your own account, Registering (which is more often free!) provides many privileges such as saving your favourite songs and playlists, following the artists who created such amazing pieces and trying on the job of a DJ by creating a sample playlist. One can also upload their own songs and music and share them with a community. Not a bad way to promote yourself, huh? We think that online streaming services are in fact new radios and it is absolutely great that they can be listened to on every iPhone and any other device.

To be honest, it was very hard to choose the best way to listen to radio on the iPhone.
