Transistor - Simple Radio App
Transistor is a radio app with a minimalistic approach, that may not be to everyone's liking. It has no radio station discovery feature. Transistor only offers a very simple search option and it imports audio streaming links, when you tap on them in a web browser. Transistor is free software. It is published under the MIT open-source license. VERIFY APK ---------- APKs published on Codeberg Releases are signed with the following certificate.
