Description

A full-featured internet streaming radio with sleep, snooze & alarm clock! Never oversleep with offline fallback and safe alarm mode.

UberRadio - the next generation web radio application. Instead of presenting you with millions of stations, it allows you to add your stations on the go and presents you the list of stations in a familiar way: just in your old radio slide left/right to change the station.

Additionally, you can set a sleep and wake up time to control your new pocket radio. The "Safe Alarm" feature, helps to prevent you from oversleeping. You need to enable this feature in the settings.

This is the only app that I have paid for and then deleted. It is a complete waste of time (and money). It can only play MP3 streams (which you could just play in the built in media player). It has no guide or anything even resembling a reasonable way to import a radio station. Even with its limitations, I have not been able to get a single MP3 radio station to play. As a alarm clock, it pales in comparison to MyClock. As a radio app, it really pales in comparison to Radio Time, which had so many more stations and is free!

Run away, don't waste your money on this useless app!

For anyone else who had the misfortune to pay money for this and wants to get some value for their money, I finally managed to get this app to work:

(a) I learned from jkeitz's comment above that only MP3 streams work. But you have to figure out (if you can) what the URLs are, because this app will not help you. Good luck. I've managed to find URLs from only one broadcaster that I'm interested in.

(b) I did get MP3 streams to work once I figured out that when entering a station you must enter the "http://" at the beginning of the URL -- if you don't, the app doesn't complain; it just acts as though the station doesn't exist. In general the user interface of this app is not good.

Some reviewers in the App Catalog like this app for what appear to be niche uses, e.g. if you really need an alarm feature there may not be any/many alternatives -- and even then you have to know your way around to figure out what URLs you need. Other than that, stay away.
