Built for the cab, not the couch
Everything a long shift needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Skip with the wheel
Next and previous step through your favourites, from the steering wheel, a Bluetooth button or the screen. One swipe on the mini-player does the same.
Picks up where it left off
A call or a sat-nav prompt pauses the radio, and it comes back on its own when they finish.
Find anything, fast
Search by name and combine genre, country, language and quality. Jazz or rock, from France or Belgium, in one go.
Recovers dropped streams
When a stream dies in a dead zone, the player retries and reconnects on its own. If a station stays down, it moves you to the next favourite.
Browse by country, border to border
Pick a country and hear what it's listening to. Handy after a border crossing, or for a taste of home on a long run abroad.
Sleep timer for the bunk
Fall asleep to the radio in the cab. It stops on time and doesn't use up your data through the night.
Readable in direct sun
Daylight mode switches to a crisp black-on-white palette for a windscreen mount in full sun. It's free on every device.
Favourites that travel
Star a station and it's first in line. Export your favourites to a file and import them in the browser or on Androidon your next phone, so you never set up twice.
Your local, even if it's not listed
Paste a station's stream address and it becomes a favourite like any other. Handy for a small local station the directory doesn't carry yet.

Questions
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. Every station and every listening feature is free, in the browser and on Android. PRO is an optional one-time purchase that adds convenience extras. It never locks stations or anything you need while driving.
Why is PRO only on Android?
PRO is bought through Google Play, so there's no account or payment server of ours to remember your purchase. A browser has nothing equivalent, so here you can preview PRO features, and unlock them in the Android app.
Where do the stations come from?
From radio-browser.info, a free community directory that checks its stations daily. Driver Radio queries it live, so new stations show up without an update.
Why won't a particular station play in the browser?
Some stations only broadcast over an insecure (http) connection, which browsers block on a secure page. Those stations play in the Android app.
Will my favourites carry over to the app?
Yes. Export them from Settings in the web player, then import the file in the Android app. It works in the other direction too.
Does it use much mobile data?
About as much as the station streams, typically 30–60 MB an hour at standard quality. Nothing runs in the background while you're not listening, and the sleep timer stops the stream on schedule.
