World Radios review
Browse live radio on web and Android, with recording for compatible stations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
World Radios brings live radio listening to the web and Android, with stations covering music, news, sports, talk, and other programming. Listeners can browse by country, genre, and popularity, or search and filter by country, genre, and language. Its mix of live radio and podcast listening suits people who want to explore stations and keep up with shows, especially Android listeners who value recording, alarms, and a sleep timer.
The free tier supports station browsing and streaming. According to the vendor's pricing details, Website Premium costs $9.99 as a one-time purchase. It removes website ads and unlocks manual recording of compatible live stations, Favorites, History, Podcasts, account creation, and Favorites sync. Website Premium and Android app Premium are separate purchases, so buyers should check which version they want before paying. The website lists 22,813+ stations, a catalog that may change.
Platform support is a practical strength: World Radios is available on web and Android, with Chromecast casting, Bluetooth, Android Auto, and Android TV support. The Android app adds recording, alarms, a sleep timer, and widgets; podcasts can be downloaded for offline listening. That offline option does not apply to live radio streams, and recording is limited to compatible stations. Choose World Radios if station discovery across web and Android is the priority; listeners who need offline live radio or recording for every station should look elsewhere.
