Online Radio Box

I've been using this app for a couple of years now. I was thinking of posting this to the app directory but Adil you beat me to it. For those living in the UK, you can listen to lots of stations from abroad. You used to be able to do this with TuneIn radio too, but a few years back I tried using TuneIn radio again and I couldn't listen to any of the foreign stations from France I usually listen to. It gave me some rubbish about this station not being available in your location. Completely wrong because when I tried accessing said stations on my computer through the radio stations' website, it worked no problem, and I don't use VPNs. I've just tried another app called Audials Play and it gave me the same message about not being able to pick up foreign stations. I really have no idea what's wrong with some of these apps. Radio Box just works for me. Only today I was listening to a couple of stations from France through Radio Box. Worked like a charm. The one-off £4.99 purchase is for getting rid of the ads within the app. I like the fact it's not a monthly subscription. I'm thinking of paying just to support the developer. It's really accessible too. It went down hill for a while because you had to use screen recognition to access the list of countries I think it was. But now it works normally again.

I, too, used to be a fan of TuneIn, but I feel like it has kind of gone downhill. Will definitely check this out. :)

Edit: I removed the ap because radio really isn't for me.

It would be nice if I could just remove my comment but what can you do.

There is one tiny issue, the play/pause and a couple of buttons repeat themselves but apart from that, it's all good.

I'm not much of a radio person but this will be nice for me to keep around when I want it.

I didn’t know that it wasn’t on applevis.
I love this app as well and i’v been using it for months.
It is the most accessible worldwide radio listening app that i’v come across. I’v even purchased the paid version and it is worth it

Just read the post on online radio box. Having downloaded and tried it and finding it very good, I thought it was worth mentioning Receiver by Appsolute GMBH as I think this just tops radio box. The interface is just so easy to use with voiceover, it has all the usual functions search by Jahnra, country, local stations etc. For those who live in the UK so this would benefit Tara who posted here you also get access to all the overseas radio you could via Tunein. In addition if there is a station that you know that doesn't appear in the radio directory, you can contact the developers with the URL and they will add it for you.
I think there was a small charge for the app but nothing that would break the bank.

Hope this is useful.

Both Broadcast and Triode deliver a better VoiceOver experience in my opinion to both Online Radio Box and Receiver.

They should both certainly be in the mix for anyone looking for an app of this type.

I don't wanna stir up arguments here, but seriously speaking, and I'm genuinely asking, not trying to troll, what exactly makes this any better than Ootunes? Can Ootunes not do everything this could do?

I've never tried this Ootunes app, I've only recently seen people mention it here on Applevis. In answer to your question, probably nothing, it's just another alternative.
