You've been listening, and so has iHeartRadio — because the iHeartRadio app has gone through a major update directly based on listener feedback. The new, next-generation iHeartRadio app showcases industry-first mobile features and access to exclusive content, and is the most significant product update since the app launched in 2011.

The updated iHeartRadio app design combines all the features of the car radio that you know and love with innovative digital technology enhancements, including:

Presets: In an audio-industry first and drawing inspiration directly from the car dashboard, custom presets allow you to save up to 15 of your favorite radio stations, playlists, podcasts and artist radio stations — the ones you love listening to the most and come back to most often. The presets will be available throughout the app.
Scan Button: In another audio-industry first, you can discover new stations with scan, and seamlessly sample nationwide radio stations, or filter by city or genre. It’s a brand-new way for you to navigate iHeartRadio’s unparalleled broadcast radio dial, ensuring your new favorite stations are never out of reach — and you can discover new ones that you’ll love.
Live Radio Dial: Turn that dial — this new app feature enables you to easily explore the best live stations across the country. This experience mimics the same car radio experience you know and love, but has the added benefit of being organized by genre and location for ease of discovery.
What’s Trending Rankers: Access an innovative discovery feature that allows you to see what’s trending at that moment among other listeners across Top Podcasts, Top Playlists and Top Artist Radio stations, as well as features that are trending on iHeartRadio.
Lyrics: The most requested new listener feature, iHeart is now the only digital radio app to offer lyrics for the songs you are listening to on live radio. You can now follow lyrics karaoke style for tracks on artist radio and playlists.

And it doesn't end there – you can now get the latest news about the biggest artists, tune in to in-studio interviews, and easily enter contests as iHeartRadio's exclusive editorial content from stations across the country will be available on the app.

Rollout of the new version of the iHeartRadio app has already begun, and the new interface will be available to all users by December 25th — just in time for Christmas. Download the iHeartRadio app today from the App Store or Google Play to elevate your digital listening experience.
