iPhone App: Public Radio Tuner
= 4 stars
Public Radio Tuner lets you listen to public radio stations based all across the country on your iPhone.
The Good
- The list of supported stations is huge. They’re organized by state.
- A few options makes things easier on your thumbs. You can bookmark your favorite stations for easier access. There’s a proximity option which calls up radio stations within several miles of your present location. Lastly, the list has a search feature so you can easily find a station by call letters.
- Since this app streams audio via an Internet connection, it works best using WiFi, and decently via 3G. While I got it to work via EDGE, it connects too slowly for regular use.
The Bad
- The only thing I can nit pick about is the UI is essentially the standard iPhone UI — no cool user interface here.
Conclusion
If you’re a fan of public radio, this app is a no-brainer download. It’s free and works well, provided you’re on 3G or ideally, WiFi. Recommended.
