Love listening to live online radio and podcasts on your smartphone? Then you must try The PURE Lounge – a cross-platform online radio and podcast streaming app for Android and iOS that features no less than 16,000 online radio stations, thousands of on-demand podcasts as well as plenty of featured content. Initially available only in the iTunes App Store, The PURE Lounge has just made its way to the Android Market.

However, as the app’s welcome screen will tell you, registration does bring plenty of advantages, such as option to save favorite content, and share it between devices as well as on the Lounge website. Registration is free an can be done from within the app.

The app’s support for such an extensive range of online radio channels and podcasts can, at times, slow it down during the searching/navigating process.
The media player’s interface, like that of the app itself, has a simple design. The buttons at the top of the interface let you add the current channel to your favorites, view channel details, Browse Similar content and share with your friends (requires login). Not only does The PURE Lounge support playing content while running in the background, it also displays the channel/program details via status bar notifications.
