As far as we can tell*, 1 Radio News Pro is among the top paid apps with over 1000 apps sold on Google cheap valium pakistan Play. Today we crossed the 4.8 rating mark.
We are among the top rated radio and news apps in the Google Play history.
*It is not possible on Google Play to sort apps by rating and number of downloads, so please correct us if our analysis is off. By the way, if it wasn’t for a single one star rating from someone who simply didn’t swipe beyond the first 9 stations for 500+ more shows and stations, we’d be near a 4.9 rating. Of course having only 3 ratings of 3, 2, and 1 total is pretty insane after two+ years in Google Play.
“News never really stops, but I don’t always have time to read it with my eyeballs. Sometimes my eyeballs have had too much news (and other stuff) and they just need a break. Being able to snack on the headlines from news radio around the world is a boon …”
And finishes with:
“It also has a selection of live radio streams from around the world, which is invaluable during breaking news (especially breaking international news). 1 Radio News isn’t the most polished app (yet), but it saved me from buy klonopin online legally going to fifty different websites and apps to pull down a five minute headlines clip, and I’m more than happy to support an app that saves me time and helps me be more informed than my producers. Especially as they ramp up their election coverage.”
Thanks Ara. We welcome all the new listeners joining the 1 Radio News listeners club thanks to your review. OK, it is not actually a club, but maybe it should be.
We think the idea that people want a “Pandora for news” radio is bonkers.
Rather than exploding radio into a gazillion parts to then have a tone-deaf computer personalize a mix just for you is not what radio is about. Quality radio is about being surprised. It embraces serendipity. It is a craft where dedicated people put together a spoken-word experience with talent and thought.
That said, many people do want quick access to the latest news headlines from the sources they trust. Many like access to news headlines from different perspectives and nations. They do want quick access to new shows they might try – but not a jumble of audio that they can’t scan like web headlines. Most of us trust that broadcast radio – around the world – is an awesome filter for producing and sharing the best of audio. Most of us don’t want profanity laden podcasts.
Our sense is that most people wonder why we can’t just have simply awesome access to radio on-demand without complicated podcast apps and buzzwords.

1 Radio News was inspired by my experience as a teen in the 1980s with an old shortwave radio that my uncle gave me. In those days, shortwave radio was the only way to listen to the BBC World Service, Radio Moscow, Radio Havana Cuba, Radio Netherlands, YLE from Finland, Radio Vlaanderen (Belgium), Radio Sweden, Radio Australia International and others. I strung wire all over place as I “discovered” the world around me before the Internet.
While most “external services” or “world services” no longer broadcast on shortwave, I built 1 Radio News in spirit of increasing global understanding by giving our listener quick and easy access to comparative, unfiltered news from many countries in English. The good news is that now it’s now “static-free” shortwave despite the nostalgia we might have for the signal fading in and out.
If you are looking for actual “shortwave” broadcasts or more links, see a few of these recommended sources:
World Radio Network – I have no idea who runs this now and there is limited information online – BUT they do have a live stream combining many external services
Listen to Actual Radios – Remotely control real radios attached to the Internet is various locations around the world (say you wanted to listen to news in English from North Korea, this might help)
Radio Garden – Definitely a fun way to virtually travel the world to listen to LOCAL radio
Radio Ben 3 (Offline?) – A volunteer gathers the podcasts or records segments from lives stream from main smaller external services (it’s frankly amazing that many of them STILL DON’T CREATE PODCASTS THEMSELVES)
We’ve knocked back the price of 1 Radio News Pro 67% for the next 50 installs in the U.S. and to the absolute minimum in every country via Google Play.
