A radio app maker gives you a clean player for the stations you actually listen to, or a branded app for a station you run. Describe the stations, the genres and the look, paste the stream links, and the AI agent builds the app. You press play in the emulator preview, change anything by chatting and download the APK for your Android phone.
What your radio app will have
From the idea above, the agent builds:
- Station list — logo, name, genre and country for every station, with the one that is playing highlighted.
- Player bar — always at the bottom: station name, a play/pause button and a volume slider.
- Now playing screen — a large logo, the station details and a heart to save it.
- Search and filters — type a name or tap a genre chip like Jazz, News or Lo-fi.
- Favorites — your saved stations in one tab, kept on the phone.
- Add station — a form with a name, a stream link and an optional logo link.
- Sleep timer — stop playing after 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
When a stream drops, the app shows "Reconnecting" and tries again instead of going silent without a word.
Features you can ask for
- Background playback with play/pause on the lock screen (check it on your phone).
- Recently played stations at the top of the home screen.
- A program schedule for your own station, day by day.
- "Now playing" song titles from a link your station provides.
- A request button that opens WhatsApp with a message to the studio.
- An alarm-style wake-up: start a station at a set time while the app is open.
- Export and import your station list, so a new phone takes a second to set up.
Ideas to make it yours
The guide to building a music player app covers live radio next to songs and podcasts, including media controls and reconnecting streams. Before you share your app, choose a clear name and icon with the icon and name guide.
Get it on your phone
- Press Build this radio app and sign in with Google.
- Paste your station names and stream links into the chat.
- Play a few stations in the emulator preview and switch between them. Ask for changes: "bigger logos", "genre chips at the top", "remember the last station".
- Press Download APK, install it on your Android phone, and test with the screen locked and on mobile data.
- To list it on Google Play, build the signed APK and AAB from the same menu; the APK builder page explains signing and upload.
Test every stream link before you paste it. Open it on your phone; if it plays there, it will almost always play in the app. Dead links are the number one reason radio apps get bad reviews.
About stations and stream links
An online radio app plays streams that other people run, so choose them with care. Your own station is simplest: you own the stream and can promote the app to your listeners. For other stations, use streams they publish for listeners and respect any rules they state; some stations ask you not to put their stream inside another app. Keep the station list in one place, so fixing a link that changed is a single edit. If your list changes often, ask for a hosted backend with a small editor screen, so everyone gets the new links without installing a new APK.
Frequently asked
Where do the radio stations come from?
You add them. Each station needs a stream link from the station's website or its owner. Paste the list into the chat, or use the in-app Add station screen to add more later.
Can I make an app for my own radio station?
Yes. Put your stream link in the prompt and ask for your schedule, your presenters and a contact or request button. Your listeners get one app with your name and logo.
Which stream links work?
Most internet radio streams in MP3 or AAC format play fine. Links that start with https work most reliably, both in the emulator preview and on the phone.
Does the radio keep playing when the screen turns off?
Ask for background playback with lock-screen controls in your request, then check it on your phone after installing the APK, because that behavior can only be tested on a real device.
Does the radio work offline?
No, live radio needs an internet connection. Your station list and favorites are saved on the phone, so the app still opens and shows them without one.
