14 DAY TRIAL // If you're looking into the store for a high-quality application that allows you to listen to music and radio stations straight from the Modern UI, search no more because we've just found one of the best apps of its kind.
iHeartRadio is currently one of the most popular applications in the Windows Store, with thousands of downloads and more than 12,000 ratings currently offered by those who have already installed it.
With an eye-candy interface and touch-optimized menu options, this feature comes with a very large radio station collection which is further organized in plenty of categories such as pop, country, hip-hop and R&B, rock, talk, news, sports, and more.
“Listen to your favorite live radio stations including pop, country, hip-hop and R&B, rock, talk, news, and sports. Browse radio stations by music style and location, then hit the scan button to move from radio station to radio station within a format,” the app description published in the store reads.
One of the best features about this app is the one that allows uses to create their very own stations with the artists or songs they love the most.
“Simply pick a song or artist to create your own commercial-free Custom Station featuring free music from that artist and similar ones. Choose from our catalog of over 15 million songs and 400,000 artists. Use iHeartRadio's exclusive Discovery Tuner to control how much variety you want in your music,” the project developers explain.
iHeartRadio also comes with account support, thus offering you even more options in order to add to favorites specifics songs or radio stations that you want to access at a later time.
At the same time, you can also pin stations to the Start screen in order to access them at a later time, rate song to help others discover great content and even buy a song that you link.
Last but not least, the app features a lyrics finder option that can display the lyrics of almost any popular song that you're listening to.
Just as expected, this app works on basically all Windows 8 versions on the market, so you can use and install it on both desktops and tablets. Windows RT support is also being offered, so if you've previously purchased a Surface RT tablet, you can install this app as well.
Overall, this is clearly one of the best radio apps in the Windows Store, so download iHeartRadio right now to see what it's up to.
