Create Radio Apps With Ease
Go mobile and let your station flourish. Create radio apps for both Android and iOS, the best way to reach listeners wherever they are.
Today there are around 14 billion phones. By 2024, that number is estimated to reach 18 billion. So with the sharp rise of phones in everyone's pockets, from children to grandmothers, you'd be missing out on not going mobile.
But creating radio apps is easier than you think. From concept to production, customise your own branded apps with Radio.co. And get your station on Android and iOS devices in no time.
Please be aware, mobile development time varies. Android and iOS apps usually take up to 10 working days, but support keep you updated.
Why Your Station Needs to Create Radio Apps
Creating radio apps may not seem like a top priority, but limiting your station to a website, directories, or social media won't grow your listeners anytime soon. Radio apps are a better way to expand your reach. But apps are more than just a dedicated hub for your shows, they're an extension of your brand with tools like:
- Alarms: Monday mornings just got better. Set a time to wake up or snooze your station.
- Sharing: Let listeners do the hard work. Share your shows on Twitter and Facebook.
- Reviews: Build your reputation. Get listeners to say nice things to pull in more people.
- Devices: No matter the screen size, your app will always look good.
Create a Central Hub For Your Listeners
Many new radio stations have trouble building a âhome baseâ for their brand. Websites are a great option, but some donât have time to design a full webpage and others donât have the money for pricey domain names.
Radio apps offer a fantastic alternative to websites. With a few taps of the screen, your listeners can listen in, on their way to work or wherever theyâre going. Your apps can be personalised to reflect your brand and values, so listeners feel like theyâre carrying your station in their pocket.
The Radio.co app builder gives you all the tools you need to design the ideal hub for listeners on the go.
Ordering Your Radio Apps
To use our app builder services, you need to have an Apple or Google developer account. Without this, your app wonât be able to get onto their stores.
Kick-off by going into your Radio.co dashboard to Add Ons, where youâll find the option for iOS and Android apps. Choose whichever you fancy, or both.
If you already have a Gold plan youâll have access to Android apps, our Pro plan comes with access to both.
