It's really good, unfortunately, it's becoming obsolete. It's nothing to do with the devs, and everything to do with enshittification from manufacturers. The app requires both an FM module in your phone, and a 3.5mm headphone jack (acts as an antenna). Phone makers are removing both. This app was really vital for me during and after hurricanes, but my old phone gave up the ghost and I had to "up"grade to a new one. Gonna miss this app and the vital service it provides.

Works fine... sometimes. But it doesn't remember whether I want it to play in the headphones or use the speaker, sometimes even doing one while claiming to do the other. It also doesn't successfully either (a) use the phone settings or (b) remember the app volume settings from last time, which means that it sometimes starts up too loud and then - for some reason - when I go to turn it down, resets the volume to maximum. It also disappears from the lock screen if I pause it, which, ugh.

Next Radio is a great radio-listening app, versatile in both FM tuning capabilities, and straight-up streaming. Streaming takes data, but the "basic tuner" option cuts almost all data use from this app. Though it REQUIRES audio cords to be plugged in to use as an antenna, it gives you the option of using your headset or continuing to pump sound through your phone's own speakers. Sorry, everyone unfortunate enough to have lost your audio jack in the phone company's continued war against them.
