I’ve been seriously happy with MyTuner Radio pro. One can search all over the world by country, city, music genre etc. I’ve found a few stellar radio stations that don’t even have adds. It set me back $10 (one time payment only with no subscription) but was well worth it. I can spend hours with the app in the late evenings at times. It has a podcast feature too. I think they offer a free version but don’t know the limitations with that. I’ve tried several radio apps and this stands out.

Can you articulate why you say this? It hasn’t been updated in more than five years and has far less favorable reviews in the app store than Radio-Receiver and way,way far less favorable reviews than MyTuner Pro. So I simply want to know why you think it’s still the best. Have you used the other two? If so how is ootunes better? Thanks
If it isn't broke why fix it? I don't understand the idea that an app needs to update every year. Sure if something broke or it no longer opens I get it, but a radio app doesn't need to.
The ideology is that people, potential new users especially, will not show interest in an app/service that has not shown any "new additions" in over a year. Be they additional features, perks, or updates.

Another good one
Another to consider is Radio-Receiver. It has a world wide search for radio stations. That is my second favorite radio app.

Please add this to the app directory if you haven't already.
What makes it better

ootunes has more stations
It has more stations in my opinion. You can find almost any station.
why does an app need to update regularly?
If it isn't broke why fix it? I don't understand the idea that an app needs to update every year. Sure if something broke or it no longer opens I get it, but a radio app doesn't need to.
I agree with Joe
I completely agree with you Joe.
