PiciRadio

Internet radio player specifically for elderly listeners. Zero clutter. No ads. Preferred stations can be set up by helping hands, ensuring a frustration-free experience.

Do you also know someone who misses the simplicity of a classic radio? Our app brings it back for seniors, who are using smartphones, but can get overwhelmed. You can help them set up their favourite stations and they don't need to worry about any other distractions.

(end)User Interface: The app features an ultra-simple interface for the elderly user. They can only press a station button to play and the stop button to stop. On the top of the screen, they can see which if any stations is selected. They can similarly see the selected and playing station on the lock screen and pause it if necessary.

UI - settings The setup button is purposely not easy to see in the upper right corner and needs to be long pressed in order to access the settings page. Intentionally almost hidden so healing hands of the actual user can set up/manage stations.

When in edit mode in the settings menu (marked by red on the top section), the desired radio station's name url and optionally logo can be added, deleted or updated. For adding a logo, the desired logo must be already in the device's photos, or can be added later. When no logo is added, the station's name is shown on the button.

Since the app should remain Ad free, and we are not seeking agreement from any radio stations, the app must start unfortunately empty. It is not appealing, but necessary.

For testing purpose, an existing direct URL station must be added, before selected station can actually play.
