My Thoughts on TuneIn

It's one thing to have simple access to local radio stations from around your current location, but TuneIn expands this be letting you listen to music from around the entire world, as well as find stations by many different genres, which is really nice.

I also love that you can login to TuneIn from a computer as well as from the app so that all your favorite stations follow you wherever you go.

Most music apps will display advertisements either while you're listening or on the top/bottom of the app. TuneIn doesn't have any such ads, which makes the whole experience even better.
