About TuneIn
TuneIn is an app and website for listening to live radio over the internet. It gathers stations from around the world, from big national broadcasters to local and niche stations, together with news networks, podcasts, audiobooks and live sports commentary. It is often the default radio service on smart speakers and in cars, so many people use it without thinking about it. The basic service is free with ads; TuneIn Premium adds commercial-free news and music stations and live play-by-play for some sports leagues, with a free trial before billing. It suits people who like live, hosted radio and want access to stations from other cities or countries. It is not an on-demand music service: you can't pick individual songs, and audio quality depends on each station's stream. Some popular stations and sports rights have moved off the platform over the years. It runs on the web, iOS and Android and on many smart speakers, cars and TVs.
Best for: Listeners who want live radio stations, news and sports from anywhere.
