In today’s digital world, connecting with your audience on-the-go is more crucial than ever, and a custom mobile app is the key. Imagine your listeners tuning into your station with just a tap – no web links, no app searches. Your station is right in their hands, providing a unique, immersive, and direct experience for your loyal fans. As a broadcaster with Live365, we’ve got your mobile app needs covered.
Why a Custom Mobile App?
A custom mobile app provides your most loyal listeners with a direct and seamless way to tune in to your station with just one tap. It’s an exclusive experience, putting your station right in their hands, and helps them build an even stronger association with your brand.
Our single-station mobile apps are currently available as part of our Non-Copyright 4 (NC4), Broadcast 4 (BC4), and Broadcast 5 (BC5) packages, and as an add-on to every other package!

Push Notifications
With push notifications, you can engage listeners like never before. A push notification enables direct communication with listeners. And when it comes to building listener loyalty, nothing is more valuable than a direct connection with your audience. When a listener downloads your custom app, they will have the ability to opt-in to notifications from your app. So, you now have a way to engage with your audience without any outside noise. Announce special events, promote new shows, and keep your audience in the loop, even when they’re not actively using the app. Push notifications are included in our single-station app experience, helping you maintain a lasting connection with your audience.
One simple console to send notifications to your listeners
