Radio Garden Live

Radio Garden is fantastic, a wonderful way to explore world radio. One thing it taught me right away is how profound the hold American pop has on the entire world—as another reviewer said, it’s almost unbelievable the number of stations everywhere playing ‘today’s’ crappy, throwaway English-language dance-ish pop, and then you have nearly as many doing “Hits from the 80s” etc. Depressing. But if you’re diligent you can find all kinds of ear-opening stuff. Radio Garden needs: 1. Manual URL entry of new stations. It’s nice they have a ‘submit station’ form, but why not let me test the URL first—within the app—and why not give me immediate access to the feeds i want to listen to? The app could list manually-entered stations in the Favorites area. When you play a manually-entered station the app could display the station name in a special color and rotate the globe to some place out in the ocean—or just leave the globe as it is 2. Support for iPad screen sizes. Currently on iPad it runs as if it were on a phone, with that wide black border around the app. 3. Chinese and northern and central African stations. Where are they? 4. Tags/categories so stations can be grouped and selected for play by genre, language or whatever. We should likewise be able to order the station list in whatever order makes sense to the user.

Originally from Kenya and through this app i am able to keep in touch with my home country and other neighboring countries in East Africa. Technologically this is the best means of getting the latest and greatest news from the entire globe. Hands down to the developers. Without this app, i would not have maintained the much needed contact with my home country. Very impressed with this app, i listen to my stations every freaking day. Night or day am always here streaming my favorite radio stations. As a dj also, it helps me learn what other people from different cultures listen to. Browsing through various cities, countries and radio stations. It gives me an immense sense of pride that i can learn more from others. Hence expanding my knowledge in Music. Big up Radio Garden. Long Live Radio Garden... Peace👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿💯💯💯

I love this app so much. Amazing way to feel a little more connected to the rest of the world. Love all the different public and community stations. Check out Chico CA and Kilkenny Ireland. Early 80s babies like me might like KBXR out of Missouri. I even listen to air traffic control sometimes. The other day I heard Monty Python bits on two different stations within an hour. A little faith in humanity restored. Great interface but would be nice to see town names, state and country borders, etc on the map. Love that I can save favorite stations but would like to be able to scan through them. Thanks for a cool app!

As the title says, this is an excellent app. It works perfectly and is seriously littered with radio stations from around the WHOLE world. If you're looking to really broaden your horizons, looking to get a little taste of home or even reminiscing on past trips and adventures in distant places, this app while suit your needs. I must also mention that I rarely, if ever, rate and review apps for the Apple Store- so this app really blew me away- not just now but also years ago. To the developers- you really put a lot of effort into this and it shows! Thank you!

Simply put, this is the finest international radio app I have used. One moment, you are in India, the next moment you are in Iceland. It is an ethnomusicologist’s treasure trove (present day)! I cannot thank you enough for your hard work on this wonderful app! I discover the world with this app. I hope you will develop a separate app exactly the same but for shortwave frequencies, if that is possible. Again, congratulations and thank you for an app that shares the world!!! Warm Regards.
