Radio on your iPad and Mac
Yes, Radio Dad runs natively on iPad and Mac. It is a universal Apple app: one download and the same spin-to-tune globe of 50,000+ live stations on your iPhone, your iPad and your Apple Silicon Mac, with a free standalone Apple Watch app on top. On iPad you get a bigger globe, two-column dashboards, every orientation and full multitasking; on Mac it runs in a resizable window from the Mac App Store. It needs iOS or iPadOS 18 or later, and an Apple Silicon Mac.
| What you get | iPhone | iPad | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spin-to-tune globe | Yes | Bigger canvas | In a window |

One universal app, not a separate iPad or Mac edition. iOS & iPadOS 18 or later; macOS on Apple silicon (M1 and newer).
On iPad
Made for the bigger screen
The iPad is where the globe really opens up. The planet fills a far bigger canvas, so spinning to tune feels less like a phone control and more like turning a real globe on a desk. Discover and Podcasts open into two-column dashboards when there is room, so you see more of the world at once instead of one long scroll, and pushed detail screens keep their text at a comfortable reading width rather than stretching edge to edge. The app supports all four orientations, so it is just as at home in landscape on a stand or keyboard as it is in portrait. And because it never forces full screen, you get real multitasking: keep a station playing in Split View or Stage Manager while you take notes, browse or work.
On Mac
On your desktop
Radio Dad runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later), downloaded from the Mac App Store as a Designed-for-iPad app. That means the same globe, the same live captions and translation, the same podcasts and song ID, now in a resizable window on your desktop. Leave the world playing in a corner of the screen while you work, drive it with a trackpad and keyboard, and pick up on your Mac exactly what you know from your iPhone. There is nothing new to learn and no separate Mac app to buy.
One app, every screen
Universal by design
Radio Dad is a single universal app, not a family of separate SKUs you buy again for each device. Download it once and it is native on iPhone, iPad and Apple Silicon Mac, with a free standalone Apple Watch radio and CarPlay as well. It is free, ad-free and account-free to start. If you add Premium for unlimited live captions and translation, song lyrics and in-car Browse and Genres ($4.99/month or $34.99/year, with a 14-day free trial), that one subscription follows your Apple ID across all of your devices at no extra cost.
Your whole world, on every screen.
One universal app. Spin the globe on your phone, your iPad or your Mac, ad-free and account-free.
