StreamRight
Paste a URL, hear it instantly
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
StreamRight is a beautifully designed internet radio player that plays any online audio stream — community stations, college broadcasts, global music services, talk shows, and more. If you have a stream URL, StreamRight will play it.
No sign-ups. No subscriptions. No ads. Open the app, paste a link, and listen.
HOW IT WORKS
Add a stream in seconds. Tap "+", name your station, paste the stream URL, and it appears as a one-tap shortcut on your home screen.
Tap to play, instantly. StreamRight connects, buffers just enough audio for smooth playback, and starts. A pre-buffer progress bar shows exactly when sound will begin — no mystery spinners.
A stunning Now Playing experience. The full-screen player shows what's playing in real time. When a station broadcasts song metadata, StreamRight shows the song title with the artist beneath it, and fetches album artwork automatically.
A lively now-playing screen. An animated visual pulses while audio is playing, giving the player a sense of motion and a clear at-a-glance sign that your stream is live.
Listen everywhere. Full lock screen and Control Center controls. Works with AirPlay, Bluetooth headphones, and standard audio accessories. Keeps playing in the background while you use other apps.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Most radio apps lock you into their own directory, push ads, or require an account. StreamRight plays your streams, whatever they are, with no strings attached.
Under the hood it's built for resilience. Live streams are fragile — connections drop, servers hiccup, networks change. StreamRight monitors the connection and reconnects automatically with exponential backoff, detects Wi-Fi/cellular switches and retries immediately, resumes after system interruptions, and uses a watchdog timer to revive streams that silently stall. You press play, and the music keeps going.

A calmer, cleaner Now Playing.
• A new retro visualizer, inspired by the glowing displays on 80s hi-fi gear: segmented bars in pale blue on dark, black on light.
• The song title is smaller and easier to read, and no longer overwhelms the screen with large text sizes.
• No more green LIVE badge while a station plays — the running time says it all.
• New: an Album art switch in Settings. Turn it off to keep each station's own cover and skip looking up song artwork.
