Goal
To create a centralized, high-quality, and user-friendly platform that makes the world’s radio stations easily accessible, transforming fragmented, unreliable access into a smooth, enjoyable, and personalized experience.
The challenge
Challenge 1: Streaming Stability
Issue
Users relied on unreliable websites with broken streams and poor audio quality.
Solution
Built a robust streaming engine with adaptive bitrate technology, ensuring stable playback across varying networks.
Challenge 2: Data Accuracy & Massive Catalog
Issue
Managing a database of 55,000+ stations with constantly changing metadata was complex.
Solution
Added automated validation and a community-driven “Suggest a Station” feature for accuracy.
Challenge 3: Overwhelming Discovery Experience
Issue
Users struggled to find stations by location, genre, or language without confusion.
Solution
Designed multi-layered discovery (Map, Search, Genres, Favorites) with clean UI for intuitive browsing.
Challenge 4: Cross-Platform Streaming Consistency
Issue
Maintaining smooth playback and features across iOS, Android, and Web was a challenge.
Solution
Used React Native with native modules for audio handling, ensuring consistent background playback and Drive Mode.
