Radio "apps" for smartphones....

[Mario Gonzalez]

I used to use Pocket Tunes more, but I found that both apps are very 
stable.  One advantage of Tunein is that you can use it to find certain 
sports events (not MLB) that might be on at a given time.  For example, 
certain NBA games and NHL games could be heard just by going to the 
sports category when the games started.  I think the radio stations 
themselves are contributing programming listings to Tunein.

We should also mention that many stations have their own apps, so if you 
just like one station you can download the app for that station.

I listen almost exclusively to radio using apps on my iPhone.  In the 
car, we listen to XM.
