Every feature. Explained.
In its free version, Just Radio offers some unique features not seen in other radio apps, free or paid. A paid version, Just Radio + adds a few small and sweet extras which makes your experience more enjoyable.
Just Radio. Free version.
01
No ads. Ever.
Just Radio adds nothing on top of the broadcast. No banners, no pre-roll, no interruptions when you switch stations. If you hear an ad, it is the station’s own on-air break, exactly as it goes out on the radio.
02
No tracking. Ever.
Nothing leaves your phone. No analytics, no usage data, no location, no third-party libraries of any kind. The only record of your purchase is the store’s, so you can restore it on a new phone.
03
No sign-up. Ever.
No account, no email, no login, no password to remember. Open the app and press play. There is nothing to create and nothing for us to store.
04
The Mood Player.
A full-screen wash of slowly shifting colour that replaces the usual static station logo. A different mood every time you look. Made for dark rooms, desks and the car, and it keeps playing when you lock the phone.
05
Over 220 countries.
Pick any country and get its most-listened stations, ranked purely by real listener numbers. No editorial picks and no paid placement. A Worldwide list of 25 popular stations is there when you don’t want to choose.
06
Top 20 per country.
Each country list shows the twenty stations people actually tune into most, sorted by popularity. Rankings move with real listening, so the list can change when you reload it.
07
Favorites list.
Keep up to five stations one tap away, from any country. Favorites survive reinstalls and country changes, and you can export them to a file at any time.
08
Search.
Type a station name or a genre and the matching stations appear as you type. In the free version search covers the stations already in your lists, so you can find them fast but only Just Radio + covers all the stations in a country pool.
09
Your list. Your file.
Your favorites are yours to keep. Share them as a small Just Radio file by AirDrop, Nearby Share, Messages or email, then open it on any device to import. Plain JSON, no account, no cloud. Works across iPhone and Android.
10
CarPlay or Android Auto.
Full car support from day one: browse your lists, play, pause and skip from the car screen or steering wheel. The free version shows the same twenty stations per country as your phone does.
11
AirPlay and Google Cast.
Send the stream to your home speakers, TV or a multi-room group straight from the player. HomePod and Apple TV over AirPlay, Chromecast and Google speakers over Cast.
12
Any speaker. Any headphones.
Bluetooth speakers, car stereos, wired headphones, a USB-C or Lightning adapter, or nothing at all. Whatever is connected gets the audio, and the buttons on your headset play, pause and skip stations.
13
Lock Screen controls.
Play, pause and skip to the next or previous station from the Lock Screen, the notification shade or Control Center, your watch or your headphones, without opening the app.
14
Keeps playing.
Background playback with the screen off. If the connection drops or the stream stalls, Just Radio reconnects on its own before it ever bothers you.
15
Dead station? Replaced.
Streams move and go offline. When one stops answering, Just Radio offers the next most popular live station in its place. Changed your mind? One tap in Settings brings removed stations back.
16
Lightweight. Under 4 MB.
No third-party code, no background chatter. The whole app is smaller than a single photo: 2.1 MB on iPhone, 2.8 MB on Android. Installs in a blink, sips data and battery, and runs smoothly on older phones.
17
Free. Forever.
Not a trial and not a teaser. Everything above stays free with no time limit and no ads ever added later. All 17 features are yours out of the box. Forever. Just press play.
Just Radio +. Paid version.
17
Everything in the free version.
Nothing is taken away. Still no ads, no tracking, no account. Same Mood Player, same 220+ countries, same car and speaker support. Plus adds on top.
18
Full station directory.
Every station for every country instead of the top twenty. Some countries have a handful, others thousands. Scroll as far as you like, in the car as well.
19
Full-directory search.
Search now looks through every station in the directory, not just your lists. Find a small-town station, a niche genre or a station by city name in seconds.
20
Unlimited favorites.
No five-station cap. Save as many as you want from any country or your Custom list, and export the whole lot as one file.
21
Custom stations.
Add any station that streams online, including ones no directory lists. Enter the name, stream address, country and tags, give it a logo, and it sits in its own Custom list on the phone and in the car.
22
Share your list.
Export favorites or your Custom list and send the file to anyone. Friends with the app import it in one tap. Broadcasters can publish their own station file and reach listeners far beyond their signal.
23
Sleep timer.
Fall asleep to the radio and let it switch off on its own. Five-minute steps from 5 to 100 minutes, plus 2, 2.5 and 3 hours. The countdown shows on the player and in Settings.
24
Brand colors.
Change the app’s accent colour across every screen. Fifteen named colours from Bianca Blue to Yuppie Yellow. Pick one that matches your car interior, your desk or your mood.
25
Pay once. Use forever.
One small payment, once, tied to your App Store or Google Play account. Restore it free on any new device. No renewals, no price rises, no subscription screen to hunt for.
