About this application

Aerial is an Android application for listening to radio. Its stated purpose is narrow: it plays radio streams and does little else. The summary supplied by the publisher, shapeshed, is simply "Just radio."

The application is distributed for Android only, so it is not available for desktop or other mobile platforms. It is released under the Apache-2.0 licence, which permits redistribution and modification, including in derivative works, provided the licence terms and attribution notices are retained.

Because the available facts describe the scope of the application rather than its interface, no claims are made here about station directories, recording, sleep timers, or offline behaviour. Readers who need a feature list beyond radio playback should consult the project's own documentation before adopting it.
