Radio FM is an online radio tuner that allows users to stream thousands of stations over the Internet simply by tapping their name.

Users who prefer a more traditional experience than just loading up a streaming music service will love Radio FM. Since it connects to publicly available online radio streams, it offers the same exact experience one might find if they powered up a conventional tuner.

In spite of its name, you won't just find live online streams of traditional FM stations on the app. Many of the stations are online only, which means you'll have access to countless styles of music that aren't found on the local radio dial in most areas. Fans of punk rock, chiptunes, or even Tibetan sounding bowl tracks will find that their individual music needs are met by some of the online-only feeds.

There are also digital rebroadcasts of AM and shortwave stations from around the globe. This makes it an ideal solution for those looking for a genuine alternative to mainstream media outlets.

Unfortunately, Radio FM could be a drain on those using limited mobile data services. However, users who often find themselves on an Android tablet connected to a local Wi-Fi network should be able to stream to their heart's content. The app doesn't feature any way to use the FM tuner chip found in some cell phones, though this shouldn't matter considering that users have literally thousands of stations at their fingertips each time they open up the app.
