Overview: Spirit FM Radio Unlocked is a
real, tuned, “over the air” FM radio app. It’s NOT a streaming app
requiring expensive, battery consuming data plans.
Spirit FM Radio Light is lower priced
and does not support RDS song etc. info and other advanced
features: http://play.google.com/store/apps/detai … cros.fm_li

Most Spirit customers are enthusiasts who enjoy rooting & custom ROMs, and Spirit’s priorities are geared to that.
But I also welcome average users looking for added features or with phones with no stock FM radio app.

I understand the prices may seem high,
but this is a niche app with a high tech support burden. The gracious
support of customers keep Spirit alive and improving.
How many other “Real FM Radio” apps are on Google Play ? Two: 1 for Galaxy S only and one repackaged Motorola app.
Why ? It’s extremely difficult. Google
doesn’t support FM radio and carriers suppress it. Intensive reverse
engineering is required.
Almost 2 years after Spirit was first created, nobody else has been “crazy” enough to attempt to compete in this niche.
Light & Unlocked include:
- Tech support for all devices you own.
- Stereo, Mono & alternative settings.
- 6 nameable presets.
- Status Bar & Notification window.
- Sleep function, Email Logs & UI settings.
Unlocked adds:
- RDS song etc. info: RT, PS, PTY, PI & AF (RadioText, Program Service, Type, ID & Alternate Frequency).
- Unlimited Preset lists & presets.
- All UI settings, including antenna, station ID & screen orientation.
- Media button support for mute, volume & frequency.
- And many more Unlocked exclusive features to come, including recording & digital audio features on GS3, Note and OneX !
This is not a throwaway game app you
play for a few days. How many hours will you spend listening to FM radio
in the next several years ?
How much can you save on data plans by listening to free, over the air radio versus streaming ?

Spirit is not a one time purchase. It’s ongoing technical assistance, fixes, new device support & features.
I’m one developer and Spirit FM Radio
is my only app and income. I’m trying to do a job Google said they
couldn’t for lack of developer resources.
I personally answer every email or post on my XDA thread, usually within 12-24 hours, 7 days a week.
Your support will help keep Spirit FM Radio alive and improving.

free test versions, please see my XDA thread for Spirit FM
