It's one thing to have simple access to local radio stations from around your current location, but TuneIn expands this by letting you listen to music from around the entire world, as well as find stations by many genres, which is really nice. We also love that you can log in 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 at the top/bottom of the app. TuneIn doesn't have such ads (besides promoting TuneIn Premium), which makes the whole experience even better.
