Wave CNTRL is radio from all over the world… and the people listening with you. 50,000 stations, podcasts, and a live chat in every station. WORLD RADIO 50,000 live stations in 200+ countries. Explore by country, region, genre or right on the world map. Top 1000, daily discoveries and stations near you. Over 20 hand-picked collections, including “Close to home”, the local stations of your country. A CHAT FOR EVERY STATION Every station has its own live room with the people listening to the same thing as you, right now. Switch stations, switch rooms: the chat follows what you're playing. Private messages, friends, Wizz, and WAVE Together to share a station in real time. Built-in filters, blocking and reporting. LIVE SUBTITLES, USEFUL FOR DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING LISTENERS On iOS 26, read what's being said on the radio as it happens, in the original language or translated live into the language you choose. Spoken radio (news, talk, sport) becomes readable, and synced lyrics follow the songs when they exist. The transcription is automatic: quality varies by station and language, and it isn't meant for music alone. Everything runs on your iPhone: nothing is recorded or sent. Listen to any language (any radio except HLS streams, podcast or audiobook): only the language you chose is shown. The sound is slightly delayed so the written word lands with the word you hear, and you can enlarge the text to read it comfortably. Deaf and hard-of-hearing listeners can read the news and talk shows this way. SURF Swipe to discover random stations that match your taste. Not for you? Thumbs down, on to the next one. WHAT'S THIS? Identify the song that's playing with Shazam, open it in Apple Music or your favorite service, read synced lyrics and discover the artist's profile. TUNEMAP Explore a web of artists: tap a name to see who sounds like them, hear 30-second previews and find stations in the same style. Search a record label too, to browse its artists and releases. PODCASTS AND AUDIOBOOKS Search, charts by country and by genre (History, News, Comedy…), favorites, downloads for offline listening, playback speed and silence skipping. Add any podcast by its RSS address or import an OPML file. Free audiobooks have their own section, sorted by type. IPTV PLAYER Add your own M3U playlists: program guide (on now and next), categories you can hide, rename and reorder, and stream info. Wave CNTRL doesn't provide any channels. MAKE IT YOURS 14 full themes with animated scenery, the accent color of your choice and 24 visualizers that dance to the music. An app that looks like you. Even the loading screen changes with your theme. RADIO PASSPORT Collect the countries you've listened to, catch Today's Signal and keep your listening streak going. WHEREVER YOU GO CarPlay, Apple Watch, widgets, Control Center, Lock Screen, Siri and Shortcuts, Chromecast and AirPlay.

Premium (monthly, yearly or lifetime) removes ads and unlocks the radio ad muter, live rewind, the equalizer, unlimited recording, bigger listening rooms and exclusive themes. Radio ad muting can silence the ads or switch to another station until they're over. Radio streams are provided by their broadcasters; availability may vary by country.
