Radio Alarm

This app has no advertising and has worked very well for years. It's a reliable resource for listening to the radio first thing in the morning.

Its developer warns us of a problem since although the app does not have ads, Radios can broadcast advertisements. Therefore, it indicates that if you hear advertisements just when you wake up, You can avoid it by applying a progressive increase in volume for 1 minute. This way when the volume has been raised and we have woken up we will no longer be hearing advertisements.

Choose the radio you want to play when you wake up and enjoy the channel you like right away. We recommend using your mobile alarm at the same time as this app's alarm as on some mobile phones it may fail and not ring.. Don't fall asleep listening to the radio!

You have the app to download in the following link.

I hope that with these apps you have been able to set your alarm so that the radio can be heard. Having the alarm radio is truly wonderful and highly recommended. In my case, even though there are days when the news doesn't interest me much, They keep me active from the first hour.

Do the same following the steps that I have indicated. And if you find yourself in an area without internet, don't worry, you can always use radio apps without internet.
