TuneIn Radio is a streaming music app that lets you listen to radio stations from different regions on your phone.

Do you love listening to music on your phone but hate all the space that the songs you downloaded take up? Streaming radio station apps give you an alternative way to listen to music. Instead of requiring that you save music on your phone, these apps let you listen to the music playing on top stations across the country and around the world. TuneIn Radio can help you find a local station or one on the opposite side of the country.

Called one of the best music streaming apps, TuneIn Radio features a Browse option that helps you find music. Local Radio brings up a list of local stations near your current location and helps you find stations in your own city or while on vacation. Recent shows you a list of the most recent stations you listened to, and Trending will show you the currently trending stations, which are those popular with other users of the app.

The app can also help you stay connected to the news going on around you. You can view the top news stories of the day and follow the provided links to load the full stories. It even has updated sports scores and sports news. With its podcasts option, you can search for podcasts to listen to on your drive to work or while lounging around the house.

As a new user, you'll want to create your own unique profile, which includes a picture and a user name. You can then follow other users who listen to the same music as you. Those who like your musical tastes can follow you too. Your profile will show the stations that you listen to as well as your favorite shows.

When you do a search for stations, you can search for specific genres and view stations that only play that type of music. Every time that you listen to a song, the app will show you the length and title of the song as well as the singer or artist. This information isn't always accurate though, which is a pain. The app has a connect feature for sharing your favorite stations, songs and shows with your friends. TuneIn Radio is one of the best free apps for those who like listening to different radio stations and podcasts.
