5FM iPhone App

After expecting to see this app to make an appearance sometime on the app store, I was quite excited to see it earlier today. The Official 5FM iPhone app (FREE) is now available on the iTunes app store. Nice !

The app offers a whole bunch of features, least of all, streaming, which is very cool. I have posted before about how to stream 5FM on the iPhone, but this now make it so much easier.

Some of the features include:

Play the 5FM radio station live and in the background on multitasking capable devices
View live track-list information which displays previously played songs, the current song as well as the next song to be played (when available)
News feed with up-to-date information on the latest 5FM news
Twitter feed displaying the latest tweets from 5FM
Audio visualizer
Live webcam views of the two 5FM recording studios
Backgrounding support

The design is also very visually appealing, and the dev’s have done an awesome job. Well done. Looking forward to seeing it get loads of downloads

[…] You can now download the official 5fm iPhone app from the app […]

Wow, they really have made use of all the technology possible here. All I would want next is a “Buy the song playing now” button.

Thanks for the cool review dude – we’ve had a few minor tech tweaks this week which is why we haven’t hyped too much, yet! But it’s a good start :) Will pass on your comments.

Cool, based on your recommendation, I’m downloading…

So, when is the BB one coming out?

Hi Bianca, 5fm BB app has been available for a while – just search 5fm in AppWorld.

Great app, still a bit buggy (playlist info not loading) but its a great start. As a person who like to interact with 5FM I’d appreciate a feature to email the current DJ and comment on a song or topic.
