With all that it has to offer, the TuneIn Radio mobile app can be employed across a wide variety of mobile platforms for engaging in entertaining radio stations. TuneIn Radio has sought to up the ante by officially introducing a new version of its TuneIn Radio app featuring a FM tuner for all Windows Phone 7 handset users.
The latest version of the app enables users to opt-in seamlessly to access the FM tuner when the terrestrial radio signal is finely tuned or hindered by broadcaster restriction. This effectively reduces data costs as well as conserves overall battery life. Additionally, the FM tuner permits Windows Phone owners to indulge in almost any local FM station and not only those which are compatible with Internet streams.
“As the leading global radio app, our robust technology delivers global live station and song information, games and programs, Twitter feeds, recommendations for other stations and programs, and on-demand content,” commented Bill Moore, CEO and Founder of TuneIn. “We are committed to leveraging any technology our device partners incorporate in their devices. Microsoft’s addition of the FM Tuner allows the user experience the choice of exploring local content while reducing demand on the device itself. TuneIn Radio is committed to being at the forefront of radio technology to deliver a variety of local, national and worldwide program choices to our users.”
“Windows Phone 7 is backed by a rich developer ecosystem that is creating a variety of quality apps and games, like TuneIn Radio, that take advantage of the phone’s unique features and design,” expressed Todd Brix, senior director, Windows Phone Marketplace, Microsoft. “TuneIn Radio is a great example of the dynamic applications that people will find on Windows Phone Marketplace to get the most out of their phone.”
The TuneIn Radio mobile app includes an exhaustive directory of over 50,000 AM or FM as well as Internet only radio stations. It also features podcasts airing across 140 different countries and broadcasting in approximately 100 varied languages. The app utilizes an innovative search technology, which permits users to search for programs and music by typing in specific songs, teams, names of artists or on-air personalities. It efficiently uses the handset’s Wi-Fi or GPS connectivity to automatically identify local stations in real-time.
The free TuneIn Radio app is available for download via the company’s official website or through the Windows Phone Marketplace.
