Radio Tuna is a real-time radio search engine designed specifically for the iPhone. It allows iOS users to browse artists from a wide variety of genres and it puts thousands of radio stations at the tips of their fingers. However, its coolest feature is the ability to record and save streams for playback later.
The recorded track is stored in the My Music tab. It appears that the recording stays inside the app. Recordings can be deleted at any time by tapping on the Edit button. Besides the option to record stations and tracks, users can also use Radio Tuna in the background. When the iPhone is turned off, the lock screen shows the current artist along with the accompanying album artwork.
With iTunes Radio coming to iOS 7 next week, it’s unclear how this app will compare. Additionally, there are other audio streaming apps that are comparable — although I haven’t seen the record option readily available in any of these. Those who are impatient, and anyone needing an alternative, may wish to give Radio Tuna a try. It’s rather responsive, fast, reliable, and well worth it, considering.
