TuneIn Radio is often the first name people think of for streaming stations, but Simple Radio from Streema, Inc. keeps the job small: find a station, press play. Its library covers more than 90,000 stations, searchable by genre, category, country, state or city.
Free to install, with ads and in-app purchases
Simple Radio costs nothing to download. Ads run inside the app, and in-app purchases are offered for optional extras, so look over the in-app store before you pay for anything.
The content rating is Teen. The tuner covers FM, AM and online stations, with search by genre, country, state or city.
Search by genre, country, state or city
The store description puts the station count at over 90,000, covering music, news, talk shows and live sports. You can browse by genre such as pop or rock, by category such as news, or by place, down to country, state or city. It names stations like NPR Radio, BBC Radio, WABC and WNYC as examples.
Favorites are reachable with one tap. The app works on Android Auto and can cast to Google Chromecast compatible devices. An internet connection, either wifi or mobile data, is needed to play any station, so it is not an offline tuner.
The publisher also lists versions for iPhone, iPad, Amazon Alexa and the web.
Version 6.3.0 and a release history back to 2014
The current version is 6.3.0, last updated on October 26, 2026. The app first appeared on December 11, 2014, so it has been maintained for a long stretch. It needs Android 6.0 or newer.
