Pavel Jelic If you're an iPhone user and you've ever wanted to play the radio, you've probably discovered that an application that could mediate FM radio simply isn't found in the system. The same applies to the App Store, where you can find some applications for listening to FM radio, but these are fraudulent applications. If you're looking for a way to start a classic FM radio on your iPhone, I'm sorry to disappoint you - there is no such way. The iPhone or any other Apple device does not have an FM receiver, so starting the FM radio is simply impossible. But that doesn't mean you can't play radio stations on your iPhone.

If you are among the supporters of classic radio stations and don't mind, for example, commercials that are often interspersed with songs, then there is no need to despair. Most Czech and Slovak radio stations have their own application that you can use to listen to the radio. You can simply download the radio station app for free from the App Store, launch it and you're done. Compared to classic radio, there are often other functions in radio station applications – you can often come across, for example, a list of played songs, settings for transmission quality and much more. Background playback is also a matter of course. As you can already guess, in this case the radio station applications consume mobile data, if you are not connected to Wi-Fi. So if you have a small data package, or if you don't have any, you won't listen to radio stations on the go.
Below you will find a list of applications of some Czech radio stations:
- Download the Europe 2 application using this link.
- Download the Radio Kiss application using this link.
- You can download the Radio Impuls application using this link.
- You can download the Radio Helax application using this link.

If you are a fan of several radio stations, this means that you have to download several applications in order to listen to the stations. At the same time, you would then have to switch between applications in a complicated way, which is not user-friendly. Even in this case, I have good news for you. There are various applications on the App Store that can mediate practically all domestic radio stations in a single application. So if you don't listen to just one single radio station, but want to simply switch between them, then this solution is probably the very best for you. As I already mentioned, there are quite a few similar applications available in the App Store - the most popular is Radio Czech Republic, which has perfect user ratings, but also worth mentioning are myTuner Radio: Czech Republic or the simple RadioApp.

- You can download the myTuner Radio: Czech Republic application using this link.
- Download RadioApp for free using this link.

It should be noted that the word "radio" has acquired quite a different meaning recently. Younger generations no longer perceive radio as a classic FM radio. You can find the "new" radio, for example, as part of an Apple Music or Spotify subscription. It's often a sort of playlist of songs that an algorithm has created based on what you're listening to. Compared to classic radio stations, "modern radios" have the option of skipping songs and, if you pay for a subscription, they are not even interspersed with advertisements. So it's up to you whether you use your mobile data to listen to classic FM radio through radio station apps, or whether you move into the new era and listen to radio in streaming apps where you can skip songs you don't like and at the same time you are not interrupted by ads.

Thanks for the tip, I added the app to the article.
Tunein and Gymradio are still fine for the gym for sports.
