The Free Internet Radio App That Actually Delivers

75,000+ live stations from 200+ countries. Zero ads. Zero subscriptions. Zero accounts. Just open the app and start listening — it really is that simple.

Why Most "Free" Radio Apps Aren't

You've seen them. "Free" radio apps that bombard you with full-screen ads between every station switch. Apps that lock basic features behind $9.99/month subscriptions. Apps that require your email, phone number, and who knows what else just to play a radio station.

LiveTune Radio is different. It was built with one principle: listening to radio should be free and private. Always has been. Always will be.

    What "Free" Really Means Here
    No ads. Not banner ads, not video ads, not audio ads. Nothing.
No subscriptions. No "Pro", "Premium", or "Plus" tier. Every feature is free for everyone.
No account. You don't sign up, log in, or verify anything. Open the app and you're listening.
No tracking. No third-party analytics selling your listening habits to advertisers.

Frequently Asked

How can this app be free with no ads?

LiveTune Radio is a passion project. The radio streams themselves are publicly available from stations around the world — the app simply makes them accessible in one clean interface. There are no server costs for streaming because the app connects directly to each station's broadcast URL.

Is the audio quality good?

Quality depends on the station's broadcast. LiveTune Radio shows each station's bitrate and codec (MP3, AAC, etc.) so you can choose high-quality streams. Most popular stations broadcast at 128–320 kbps.

Does it work offline?

LiveTune Radio streams live content, so an internet connection is required for playback. However, the app caches station lists, favorites, and artwork for instant browsing even on slow connections.
