FEATURED APP

Do you still think the iPhone should have come with an FM transmitter? Wanna listen to stations from around the U.S. live from your iPhone? Clear Channel has come to the App Store and is giving you the iheart radio iPhone app that lets you explore new stations from across the country and listen to them live.

iheart radio brings your favorite radio stations to the iPhone or iPod Touch for free. Similar to other radio apps like allRadio and Pandora you can listen anywhere over WiFi, EDGE or 3G, but with iheart radio, you get to listen to actual radio stations, not virtual ones. Some of the popular stations you have access to include: 102.7 KIIS FM, POWER 105.1, KFAN Sports Radio AM 1130, Channel 955 from Detroit, 103.5 KISS FM from Chicago, DC101 Rock, and KFI AM-640 Stimulating Talk. Bookmark your favorite station for quick access in the iPhone app.

To sweeten the deal, iheart radio app comes with some other nice features.
1) Lyrics: In the now playing section you can tap on lyrics (if available) and you can view the lyrics for the given song if you wanna sing along.
2) Album Art: Another great feature of iheart radio is that the album cover art is shown for the currently playing song if available.

Since these are live stations, you do get to listen to all the ads played on the stations as well. As more and more stations are added this might become a pretty good replacement for satellite radio.

Update: The latest version o iheart radio has been drastically improved. The new version lists categoriezed radio station by format and location. Cities are listed in alphabetical order. Once you find a station you like you can add it to your favorites, and get to it quickly by going to the Favorites tab on the bottom of iheart radio. Other new tabs include Tagged Songs and Shake it!

While listening to a song, (now playing) you can “tag” it which basically creates an entry for that song in the Tagged Songs tab. From here you can view tagged songs list and tap to buy the song from iTunes. Some popular radio stations also support lyrics for popular songs. Tap the lyrics button and iheart radio downloads the lyrics for the song using gracenote.

Finally if you feel adventurous, try the Shake it tab! Just shake the iPhone and iheart radio randomly picks a radio station for you to enjoy.
This 3rd Party App is available at the Apple iTunes AppStore. Browse the full list of all AppStore apps filed under the AppStore category.

   I HEART the iHeartRadio application for my iPhone and of course I’m a fan of it on Facebook. A couple of days ago on the Facebook fan page I found an iHeartRadio widget that let’s you stream your favorite radio station or side channel right from your profile. I immediately grabbed it and put it on my page. It’s soooo cool! You can get it here….http://apps.facebook.com/iheartradiostream/ Spread the word! Happy Listening!

   Sweet! The buffering problem seems to have been resolved without a SW update. Back to the music! Keep up the good work!

    Until the buffering problem started, I was quite happy with this APP. Especially since it was free. I cannot listen to any stations using 3G or WiFi now. Just keeps buffering…….

    The same thing is happening to me. It’s been going on for three weeks now. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, I’ve rebooted my phone, and nothing works. SUX! This app was what convinced me to get the iPhone in the first place, and now it doesn’t work.

    iHeart Radio has been a GREAT addition to my app selections ever since I purchased my iPhone 3G. This past week, however, I have not been able to connect to any station. I’m getting the same constant buffering mentioned by others. (I’m in Columbus Ohio and have gotten addicted to the Ed Lover Morning Show out of NYC.) If there are any solutions to this will someone please let me know? Considering going to Wunderradio. This app is not free but if it works, the six bucks will be well worth it.

    this app works on my 1st gen iphone over Edge, but it cuts in and out. Over wifi it works, but not on all wifi connections. it will work flawlessly everytime at my friends house over his wifi connections, but will not work at all over my wifi connection. visit another friend and try it on his wifi and it will not work. its hit or miss.

    There is a better alternative called Wunderradio but unfortunately they were forced to remove access to all Clear Channel stations. I haven’t been able to use iheartradio for 2 weeks now. Check out Wunderradio, 36,000 stations including police, fire, weather, air. No affiliation, just a happy purchaser.
