iRadio
Here’s something people have been requesting forever here on BoostApps, a streaming Internet Radio app that actually works on Boost iDEN and Nextel phones. I’ve tried over a dozen radio apps and never managed to find one that worked on my i776.
The wait is over thanks to BoostApps reader Lise, who found iRadio on GetJar and got it working on her i856. Lise was kind enough to share her find with us.
iRadio has a directory over offer 500 stations which you can browse or search for a particular type of music like hip hop or classical.
According to Lise, on the i856 it takes several minutes to load the list of stations and a couple more to begin playing the selected station, but it does actually work and the sound is good.
I never managed to get iRadio to play anything on my i776. The program did install and run. But it took nine minutes to load the station list. After I picked a station I waited another 40 minutes but it never started playing. The i856 and i9 have a much faster processor and twice as much memory as the other iDEN phones. I suspect that iRadio will only work on the i9 and i856

it doesnt work for the new Innuendo sanyo phone
yep, the innuendo music situation is pretty poor
Virtual Radio http://boostapps.com/apps/virtual-radio/ works on the Innuendo.
umm…i really havent tried it yet so i cant say something negative or positive about it…
Would this app work on a CDMA phone like a Sanyo Juno?
Other users have reported that it doesn’t work on the Juno.
Rawr, this is such a tease on my i465. It appeared to work properly, but after hitting play, goes to buffering……. then comes back to Ready. Oh well, I’ll probably be getting one of the android based boost phones in the near future anyway.
How did you get the app? Because i cant seem to get it
You can download it from this very page
im having trouble with the iradio app. i have the motorola clutch i475. i cant load any stations on my phone or even put any in. are there any suggestions as to how i can go about this?
It either works or it doesn’t. There are no secrets to getting it working, it depends on the phone’s capabilites. iRadio doesn’t seem to work on most iDEN phones.
