Free streaming music app
In this chapter of the guide we have collected all the apps that allow you to listen to streaming music without having to pay any subscription. To avoid confusion we will find in this chapter only apps that offer free music without any restrictions or limitations whatsoever, so as to avoid many famous apps that unfortunately have limitations in listening (due to the commercial agreements reached).Jango Radio
Jango is an application that looks like a real personalized radio: we will only have to choose a music and, starting from that, listen to a set of songs that is generated by itself from time to time, adding relevant songs with the singers or groups chosen or presenting a similar genus. In our opinion, it is the best app to listen to streaming music for free on Android, since it is sufficient to add the name of the artist or the song to be played to start a radio based on our personal tastes.
AccuRadio
Along the lines of Jango we can try the AccuRadio app, which offers over 900 channels of music of all genres, so that we can listen to any singer or band we want without any limit. While listening we can make the radio even more precise by setting the favorites and the songs that hit us, so that the next time the radio starts we will have more and more pertinent songs with our musical tastes.
