v2.4.0iOSMajor
New in this version:
• Made for iPhone Duo. Open it, flat or like a book: your stations on one half, the radio dial on the other. Closed, or open and upright, it is the iPhone you know. Half folded on a table, it becomes a bedside clock radio.
• CarPlay: your favorites, recent stations, every country and all genres on your car's screen. Countries come A to Z with a letter index, and Now Playing has 15 seconds back and your next favorite.
• FMStation now speaks your language: the app is in 46 languages, from German, Spanish and Japanese to Hindi, Arabic and Thai.
• Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu read right to left. The widgets, CarPlay and your Apple Watch speak your language too.
• Pick the app's language in Settings, separate from the language of your device.
• Genres: choose from 50 genres, from reggae and the 80s to techno, blues and Christmas music. Type a genre and you see all its stations at once. Every genre shows its related genres, and hardstyle and hardcore now have a genre of their own.
• More like this: every station shows stations that sound like it.
• 220 new stations, all tested, with lots of reggae, soul, Latin and Afrobeats.
• 35 new stations straight from Belgian and Dutch broadcasters, among them RTBF's Classic 21 and La Première with their own logos, NRJ Belgique, Nostalgie+, Chérie Belgique and BNR Business Beats.
• Your country: pick your own country in Settings. Handy when you are abroad and want to listen to home.
• All countries A to Z in your own alphabet, with your own country on top. Type a country's name and you get all its stations.
• Better search: Greek and Cyrillic names also answer to Latin letters (try "Skai" or "ERT"), stations show up under the names people know them by, and a news search sticks to news.
• "Load more stations" now goes on to the very last station in the A to Z list of every country, the biggest ones such as Germany and the US included.
• In the Netherlands: the emergency stations, the regional broadcasters that keep you informed in a disaster, with FM and DAB.
• Lyrics: look up the words of the song that is playing in one tap.
• Share the app with friends from Settings, or from a one-time card on the Songs screen.
• Apple Watch: search, Countries and Genres right under the dial, More results to keep going, your home country's best stations, and your country as set on your iPhone, with the same station updates.
• The request for a rating may come a little sooner, also right after you save a station or a song.
• Fixes: Popular puts a country's best-known stations first, station counts are clear and correct, the station list is freshly tested, language lists are complete, typing "FM" no longer opens a country, A to Z puts numbers last, your next favorite also works after a start from a widget or Siri, Adjust opens on the iPad next to the radio, and smaller iPhones such as the iPhone SE show the whole dial.
