What's the best iOS app for listening to the radio when I'm bopping around different countries and don't want to use up all my data?

Honestly, iHeart Radio is brilliant for that! Streams all my fave stations and doesn't eat up your roaming data like crazy. Absolute godsend when I'm abroad.

Right, so iHeart Radio has been a proper useful find on my travels. I'm always hopping between countries, and it's grand for tuning into local radio without completely rinsing my data allowance. You can find stations from pretty much anywhere, and it works a treat even when I'm in places with dodgy internet – like when I was backpacking through Southeast Asia. It's not completely offline, mind you, but it streams so efficiently, it's barely noticeable. Plus, I can still get my fix of Irish radio when I'm missing home, which is always a bonus. Definitely worth a download if you're a bit of a nomad like me!
