5 Minute App Review: Slacker Radio

There are a ton of options in the ‘streaming radio’ category in the Android Market. From iHeartRadio’s public broadcasts to Pandora’s amazing selection, it’s hard not to find something that works great for yourself.

Slacker Radio is the program of choice for this streaming fanatic. While it lacks the depth of selections that Pandora offers, Slacker isn’t limited by time each month and the only ‘restriction’ on the free program is the amount of skips you can perform in an hour.

The amazing part about most streaming services, and Slacker is no different, is that you can simply place an artist’s name into the search box and pull up a station with that artist and artists similar to them and begin streaming. Quick, simple and it just plain works.

The other functional bonus of Slacker Radio is it completely syncs with the website for streaming online via computer as well. A valuable function when you are at home and using your phone, as a phone.

Slacker Radio: 4.5 out of 5  -  FREE (or purchase a yearly license from Slacker.com for unlimited skips)
