A free app called RadioShake lets you listen to internet radio on your car screen through Android Auto. According to Android Authority, it costs nothing and does not show ads. The report also says the app keeps getting better, so new features may show up often.

What it does

Android Auto is Google's system that shows certain phone apps on your car's built-in screen. RadioShake works with it and plays internet radio, which means stations that stream over the web instead of through a car antenna. The report describes it as a way to hear free radio from around the world.

Who it is for

Anyone who drives with Android Auto and wants more radio choices without a subscription. The lack of ads is the main selling point in the report. Many free apps pay for themselves with ads, so an ad-free one stands out.

What is not known yet

The material available does not explain how the app is paid for, who makes it, or whether that could change. It also does not list specific features, stations, or what the coming updates will add. The claim that it shows no ads comes from the report, and a free app could change its plans later.

What to do

  • Check that your car works with Android Auto before looking for the app.
  • If you try it, read the app's listing and permissions first.
  • Watch for changes over time, since the app is said to be updated often.
The takeaway

If your car uses Android Auto, RadioShake is a free, reportedly ad-free way to try internet radio, though details about the app are still thin.
