Audials Radio - a radio app done right

**Audi's Radio: A Solid and Capable Radio App**

When it comes to discovering new radio stations, Audi's Radio makes the process very simple. It is an application that makes it easy to find new music with just a few clicks. The app also comes with an alarm clock and a sleep timer, both of which are easy to set up. Simply set a time and the alarm will go off with the radio station you want, provided you're actually listening to it before setting it as an alarm.

The sleep timer is even simpler to use, requiring only a few seconds to set a time limit. The app will keep running until that time limit runs out. Audi's Radio also includes a light and dark theme switcher, allowing users to quickly change the sound based on their preference. Additionally, the application supports AirPlay and Chromecast, making it easy to stream music to other devices in the home.

One of the standout features of Audi's Radio is its record feature. This allows users to actually record songs they hear on the radio for playback later. This feature reminds us of when we were kids and used cassette tape recorders on our stereos to make mixed tapes from the songs we liked on the radio. The recorded files are stored on your device, allowing users to rename them and move them as they please.

**Interface and Features**

The interface of Audi's Radio may seem a bit cluttered at first, but once you get used to it, it's actually very easy to use. Users can quickly navigate through the various features and find what they need with ease. Every radio station has a wealth of information available, including the ability to record any station, view similar stations, and use the "zap" feature to skip over commercials. There is also a news tab that shows the station's Twitter and Facebook feed if it exists.

The alarm clock and sleep timers both work well, with easy-to-use interfaces that make setting times simple. The Equalizer feature is also appreciated, even if it's only a five-band option, which somewhat limits the changes users can make. However, this does not detract from the overall experience of using Audi's Radio.

**Performance and Issues**

Audi's Radio actually works pretty well, especially with a rock-solid internet connection. There were no hissing sounds or dropouts during testing, although if such issues occur in the future, the application has settings that allow users to adjust its behavior to minimize them. One of the things we liked about Audi's Radio is the ability to access stored music and videos. While the players may not be as powerful as a dedicated music app or video app, it's nice to have the option to listen to a song quickly.

The "zap" feature can also be fun, allowing users to skip over commercials on their favorite stations. Adding your own radio station is also useful if it's not already available. Recording songs from the radio worked well, although it could take a few tries to get the start and finish times just right sometimes.

**Conclusion**

Audi's Radio is a truly solid radio experience that organizes its content extremely well, given the number of stations it supports. The peripheral features like Chromecast support, alarm clock, sleep timer, Equalizer, and "zap" feature make the application feel full-featured without making it feel bloated or heavy. While there are few issues with the design and some minor nitpicks, Audi's Radio is a great option for anyone looking to enjoy their AM and FM radio in the digital age. It's free with no in-app purchases, and can be accessed by clicking the link in the video description below.
