Radios: Your Global Receiver for Live Audio, On-Demand Podcasts, and Crystal-Clear FM Streams

Stop searching across dozens of apps for a single radio station. Radios by ichisoft consolidates thousands of live broadcasts, digital streams, and podcast feeds into one unified interface—working flawlessly on Android devices from version 2.0 upward. Whether you are commuting, working out, or relaxing at home, this app turns your phone into a portable receiver that never loses signal.

Core Functionality

Radios delivers a complete audio experience through three integrated modules: a live radio tuner, a podcast aggregator, and a local FM receiver (where hardware supports it). The app scans, organizes, and indexes stations by genre, country, language, and popularity—eliminating the need to bookmark separate URLs or install multiple streaming clients. A single tap switches between a BBC news feed, a Japanese jazz station, or a local AM talk show.

Station Discovery and Browsing

• Global station database with real-time search – Access over 20,000 verified live streams sorted by country, city, or language. Results update as you type, filtering by bitrate, format (MP3/AAC), and availability.
• Genre-based category system with sub-filters – Browse through 15+ top-level categories (Rock, News, Sports, Talk, Classical, Electronic) and drill down into sub-genres like Indie Rock, 80s Hits, or Ambient.
• Favorites list with offline metadata caching – Save unlimited stations to a personal list. Station logos, names, and URLs are stored locally for instant access without re-scanning the network.

Audio Playback and Controls

• Multi-format audio engine with buffer optimization – Handles MP3, AAC, AAC+, Ogg Vorbis, and WMA streams. The adaptive buffer reduces stuttering on slow 3G connections and switches to low-latency mode on Wi-Fi.
• Sleep timer with granular interval settings – Set playback to stop after 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes—or enter a custom duration. Timer persists across app restarts.
• Background playback with notification controls – Audio continues when the screen is off or when using other apps. The notification bar displays station name, album art, and playback buttons (Play/Pause/Stop/Skip).

Recording and Offline Access

• One-tap recording to internal storage – Capture any live stream as an MP3 file directly to your device. Recording starts instantly with a single button and stops automatically when the stream ends or when you tap again.
• Scheduled recording with time-based triggers – Set the app to start recording at a specific date and time—perfect for capturing a weekly show or a late-night interview. The app wakes up, records, and saves the file without user intervention.
• Podcast subscription with automatic episode download – Subscribe to any RSS-based podcast feed. New episodes are downloaded automatically when connected to Wi-Fi, stored in a dedicated library, and playable offline.

Interface and Customization

• Lightweight interface with Material Design components – Navigation uses a bottom tab bar (Favorites, Browse, Recordings, Settings). Station lists display logos, signal quality bars, and current song metadata (artist/title) where available.
• Equalizer with 10-band adjustment and presets – Fine-tune audio output with a built-in graphic equalizer. Choose from presets (Rock, Pop, Classical, Jazz, Speech) or save custom curves for specific stations.
• Widget support for home screen quick access – Add a 1x1 or 2x1 widget that shows the current station name and play/pause toggle. Widget updates every 30 seconds with new metadata.
