What it is
SłuchajPan keeps your favourite radio stations in one list. Tap once and listen — at home, on a walk or in the car. It shows the artist and track title broadcast by the station, finds the album artwork, and keeps playing in the background with full lock-screen and CarPlay controls.
There is no account to create, no advertising, and no analytics. Your station list and settings never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions
- A station will not play. What now?
- Radio streams are run by the stations themselves and go offline from time to time. Try the station in a browser: if it does not play there either, the stream is down or its address has changed. Some directory entries point at stale addresses; those can be corrected by anyone at radio-browser.info, which is where the app's station search comes from.
- No track title or artwork is shown.
- Not every station broadcasts ICY metadata, and artwork is only found when the track can be matched in the Apple Music catalogue. Also check that Fetch title and cover art is enabled in Settings.
- Playback stops after a while in the background.
- Losing mobile signal stops playback on purpose rather than leaving a silent, stuck player. Press play again once you have signal. On Android, make sure the system has not restricted the app's battery usage.
- A station I want is missing from the search.
- The search in Edit stations queries radio-browser.info, a free community-maintained directory that anyone can contribute to. If the station is not there yet, add it on that site — enter the station name and its stream address — and it will turn up in the app's search shortly afterwards, for you and for everyone else. The same goes for a station whose details are wrong or out of date: they can be corrected there.
- Does SłuchajPan collect any data about me?
- No. There are no accounts, no ads and no analytics. See the privacy policy for the full details, including which third-party services the app contacts to play a stream.
- Can I record streams?
- No. SłuchajPan plays live streams only.
