Done-for-you service
Your radio station's own iOS and Android app
A branded app that plays your live stream, shows what's on now, and carries your schedule, shows, DJs and podcasts. We build it from your RadioSiteMaker station and submit it to the stores under your accounts.
What's in the app
- Live player for your stream, from any stream host, with the current track and artist, refreshed every 15 seconds.
- Keeps playing in the background when the listener switches apps or locks the phone.
- Schedule, shows, DJ profiles and podcasts, read from your RadioSiteMaker station, so updating your website updates the app.
- About page with your station's story and links.
- Your branding: name, colours, icon and splash screen.
Not included, so you can plan around it: push notifications, CarPlay and Android Auto.
What you need
- A RadioSiteMaker station. The app reads your station's content from it. Your stream can stay with any host. Start a website trial if you don't have one.
- An HTTPS stream URL in a phone-playable format (MP3, AAC or HLS). Test yours.
- Developer accounts in your name. Publishing requires an Apple Developer Program membership ($99source a year) for iOS and a Google Play developer account ($25source one-time) for Android. You pay those to Apple and Google directly, and the apps stay under your control.
- A square app icon, ideally 1080 × 1080 px.
How it works
- Send the request below. We reply with the checklist for your platforms.
- You create the developer account(s) and invite us to manage the app listing.
- We build the app from your station, prepare the store listing and submit it.
- Apple and Google review it. They set the timing and can ask for changes; we handle the resubmission.
Stores can reject apps. A common reason for radio apps is too little unique content, which is why your schedule, shows and DJs matter. If a submission is rejected, we fix what the reviewer asks for and resubmit.

Do you need an app at all?
An app needs an install; a fast mobile website reaches anyone with a link. Here is the RadioSiteMaker station site on a phone. Read app or website? before you decide.

Common questions
Is the $99 really one-time?
Yes, per platform: $99 + tax for iOS and $99 + tax for Android. The ongoing costs are the store accounts you own and your RadioSiteMaker website.
Can you build an app for a stream on Radio.co, RadioKing, Live365 or AzuraCast?
Yes. The stream stays where it is; the app plays its HTTPS URL. Your schedule, shows and DJs come from your RadioSiteMaker station.
Who owns the app?
You do. It is published under your developer accounts, so you keep it if you ever stop working with us.
Can you also get my station on Alexa?
Yes. See Alexa skills for radio stations.
