Generally listen to R2 during the day - but it's just too bad now. So I need to find a radio app that plays other stations.

I already have the full Amazon music subscription, so I'm not lacking choice of music - I just like listening to the radio sometimes, but can't take anymore Steve Wright etc.

What Radio App will let me listen to other stations?

I use the dedicated LBC and TalkRadio apps.

Tunein, but the station's own apps can be useful too as they'll often let you add a on-off widget to your home screen if you want that.

TuneIn looks promising at first try. One thing is curious though - the Iplayer Radio app seems to play R2 at much better quality than TuneIn does - it sounds completely different.
