Book DemoNew Radio Apps for iOS and Android
Our iOS and Android radio apps now have Android Auto & Apple CarPlay. This guides covers how to create your radio apps or upgrade your existing ones.
Radio apps are a great way to stay connected with listeners in just a few taps. But they need to be fit for purpose. That's why we've added Android Auto & Apple CarPlay to our radio apps.
Why We've Added Android Auto & Apple CarPlay To Our Radio Apps
So much of radio listening happens in cars and vehicles. But controlling a station from your phone while driving can be dangerous. And in plenty of US states, it's illegal for that reason.
That's where Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come in. They mirror your smartphone's essential apps on to the car dashboard. This lets listeners use their app by using their steering wheel controls or voice commands.
