For those who look back with nostalgia on the good old days when the world’s lifeline for music was the radio, the Sterolizer app offers a window to the past complete with a retro-inspired interface.
Designed to reflect the appearance of an 80s stereo, the Stereolizer app gives users access to over 6000 radio stations from around the world. Furthermore, for those who remember when music piracy involved capturing songs off the radio on to a cassette, the Stereolizer app also allows owners to tap into and record music off the radio using the app’s built in “tape”-recorder function.
As far as fusions between retro and modern technology go, the Stereolizer is definitely leagues ahead of the competition. At only $2, it’s also remarkably cost-effective.
