The cost of data for listening to the radio is not excessive, but it is something that you will have to take into account if you want to enjoy it.

These are the best applications to listen to the radio on your mobile:

FM Radio – Free stations

We begin our journey through the best applications to listen to the radio with one of the best rated in the Android application store. FM Radio – Free Stations is an application with simple interface, with sections at the top to choose the country or genre of the station, in addition to finding our favorite stations and the recently heard.

When clicking on a country, a new page will open with the list of corresponding stations. Right at the top we can change the Autonomous Community, if it is the case of Spain, locating stations from Andalusia, Madrid, etc. The stations can be ordered, in turn, by popularity, in ascending or descending alphabetical order and by genre. In turn, we can assign each station the category of favorite or report a malfunction of it.

As for its different settings, we have a timer to turn it off at night (in case we listen to the radio while we sleep), set an alarm, to wake up with our favorite station, etc. A very complete application, totally free although with ads. Its setup file is 15 in size.40 MB, so you can download it under a data connection, depending on your rate, of course.

miRadio (FM Spain)

We continue our journey through the applications to listen to the radio with miRadio, another practical app for FM lovers. miRadio is indicated, above all, for those users who only want to listen to national and local stations It has a tremendously simple interface, which we could already guess when we saw that its file installation was just over 2 MB.

In places you can connect with all the stations in your city and other Autonomous Communities.To mark a station as a favorite, we just have to click on the heart icon, and can then have them saved in the corresponding column.

Simple Radio

If miRadio was a simple application, Simple Radio, as its name suggests, is even more so. As soon as we open Simple Radio we have a list of stations 'recommended' by the app itself, where we can find the great majority of national radio stations, and a column with the usual list of favorite stations.The browser is where Simple Radio puts all the meat on the grill.

In the magnifying glass we can search by station name, dial number, city, country or genre: sports, talk shows, languages, music...

Radios of Spain

What can we find in this application called 'Radios of Spain'? Well, a much more attractive interface than that of previous applications. This application, for example, offers the view of the stations in a grid, instead of a list ( although we can switch between both views). To listen to a station, select it from the list.By clicking on the playback bar, you can have a full screen view of it (with information about what is playing, always depending on the station) where you can set an alarm, pause playback or mark it as a favorite.

In addition, this application has a special column to find podcasts with the topics that interest you the most, of course, in Spanish. When you choose the same station several times, the application will consider that you like it very much and will notify you if you want to add it to favorites. In the top bar, you can choose the city where you want to listen to your station. Among other settings, we can apply a dark or white interface, depending on the time of day.

Radios from Spain is a free application although it has ads. If you want to remove the ads, you will have to make a single payment of 2.40 euros. Its download size is slightly larger than the previous ones: 24 MB.

TuneIn Radio

We finish the selection with TuneIn Radio, one of the oldest and most complete radio applications in the Play Store. With this beautiful application we will be able to have all the possible configurations in a radio app: alarm clock, timer, search engine by country, most listened to stations, radios in which social gatherings prevail... We can even search for stations by the language in which they speak and even the broadcasting near your location.

Although it is a station that has a premium subscription plan, the free version of it is enough for us.
