Radio FM Offline 2017 allows compatible smartphones to access FM radio stations. Certain smartphones feature an embedded FM radio receiver. Therefore, such smartphones can access FM radio channels by using headphones as an antenna. No Internet or mobile network connection is required to access these channels. Users just need to be within range of FM radio signals to access music from their smartphone.

After installing the app, Radio FM Offline 2017 presents users with a slick user interface. A dial showcases FM frequencies, and users can manually adjust the station with ease. The app looks like a modern smartphone app, although it does lie on the plain side of the design spectrum. As previously mentioned, users need to plug headphones into their smartphone for the app to work, and the phone must contain an FM receiver.

Unfortunately, Radio FM Offline 2017 comes with a handful of downsides. Many users that install the app cannot get the program to work properly. Not all phones come with FM receivers, and other issues could hinder the app as well. Based on anecdotal evidence, the app seems to work in France and other European countries, but not everywhere else. Results may vary from users to user, and FM channel selection seems limited.

Radio FM Online 2017 remains a somewhat limited app for various reasons. At this point, the app appears to have some broken code that prevents it from running properly. Such issues don't plague all users but are widespread enough to warrant mention. It doesn't help that FM receivers remain a rarity in today's smartphones. This particular app might be worth the download, but users should understand they might end up disappointed here.
