Lyrics

The words, as the song goes

Tap Lyrics under the cover and the words come up line by line with the song, the way the music players show them: the line being sung bright, the rest waiting under it. A radio stream carries no position, so when the words run early or late, tap the line being sung and they fall into place. Turn on Words in the car too and Android Auto shows the line being sung under the song. The words come from LRCLIB, a community lyrics library.

As it is on the phone

Photographs of the app running, not drawings: the cover of the record that was on, and the doors, genres, tags and countries with how many stations are behind each.

Android Auto

In the car, with the song

Android Auto shows the song and its cover on the car screen, not just the station. Favourites, what you played recently and what everyone is listening to are the first three tabs; genres, tags and countries browse by picture, with a count on every folder. Everything you kept on the phone is there in the car.

What it is not. It is not an FM tuner. It does not use your phone's radio chip and it will not work without a data connection. Chromecast is supported too. Free, with advertising.
