Sloth Radio is a modern, feature-rich internet radio aggregator engineered to deliver a seamless, high-fidelity global auditory experience. Designed entirely utilizing Android’s cutting-edge Jetpack Compose UI framework, the application introduces a stylized, intuitive "Netflix-style" browsing interface for traversing thousands of global radio frequencies. Sloth Radio prioritizes fluid performance, immersive typography, and personalized content discovery, making the world's audio landscape accessible at a relaxed, premium pace.
Data Source: Sloth Radio does not manage an independent directory database. Instead, it interfaces directly with the community-driven Open API from radio-browser.info. This crowdsourced architectural core guarantees an organic, continuously expanding inventory of thousands of global radio and television stations.
Playback Engine: Audio delivery is powered by the high-performance Android Media3 (ExoPlayer)framework. The application provides robust system-level integration supporting uninterrupted background audio playback, system lock-screen transport controls, persistent notifications, and seamless Google Chromecastcasting.
Personalization: Features a multi-tiered favorites ecosystem categorizing specific Stations, Countries, and Genres, paired with a detailed Recent Playback History. Visual personalization is driven by Dynamic Theming (Material You), which dynamically extracts prominent palettes from the active radio station's logo and repaints the application's interface in real-time.
Advanced Utilities: Includes a precise Sleep Timer for automatic playback termination, a reliable built-in Alarm Clock designed to wake users up to their favorite live broadcast stream, and an integrated system-level Equalizer / Bass Boost suite engineered specifically for audiophiles.
By installing, accessing, or using Sloth Radio, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service. Sloth Radio operates under a transparent, hybrid monetization infrastructure designed to provide accessible options for all users:
Free Tier (Ad-Supported): Provides standard access to the streaming core and layout directory. This tier includes contextual visual advertisements and places structural limitations on the total number of items a user can add to their multi-category Favorites.
Premium Tier (One-Time Purchase): Available via an in-app digital transaction, this premium upgrade permanently removes all third-party advertisements, lifts all collection constraints to unlock unlimited favorites, and grants lifetime access to all pro-tier utility features and upcoming software enhancements. This purchase is tied permanently to the user's Google Play Account.
Subscription & Refunds Note: Transactions are handled exclusively via the secure Google Play Billing system. Refunds are subject to the standard regulatory policies enforced by Google Play, and digital purchases remain non-transferable between distinct operating platforms or different digital store ecosystems.
Sloth Radio is committed to protecting your privacy. This section outlines our strict local data practices and details how limited information is processed by third-party services within the application.
We do not operate remote servers, user accounts, or cloud databases. Sloth Radio does not collect, harvest, upload, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII), listening history, or search queries to our developers or any third-party marketing companies.
All configurations—including your multi-category Favorites, Recent Playback History, Sleep Timer configurations, and custom settings—are stored strictly within your device's local memory (via secure Android preferences or a localized Room database). This data remains on your hardware unless you manually clear your application cache, uninstall the application, or factory reset your device.
While Sloth Radio does not natively collect your data, the application integrates third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) to facilitate premium transactions, streaming connectivity, and ad delivery. These services may collect diagnostic data, IP addresses, or device identifiers subject to their respective privacy policies:
Google Play Billing: Processes your payment and account identifiers strictly to authenticate your Premium one-time upgrade.
Google Ad Networks / Google AdMob: Processes localized device data and identifiers to serve contextual or targeted advertisements on the Free Tier of the application.
Google Media3 / Chromecast: Temporarily processes network routing data to facilitate casting audio streams to compatible smart televisions and speaker hardware.
Sloth Radio does not knowingly collect or solicit any data from children under the age of 13. Because all data is retained entirely on the user's local device, parents or legal guardians can manage or completely delete application preferences at any time by clearing the app data via the Android System Settings menu.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or our client-side storage architecture, please contact us via email at: [Insert Your Developer Support Email Here].
The following clauses define, limit, and establish the technical and legal liabilities of Sloth Radio regarding external streams, content delivery, and hardware performance.
Sloth Radio is an indexation and directory service tool. The application does not host, own, transmit, re-stream, or broadcast any audio content. All streaming signals, metadata, and media formats are delivered directly from external, independent third-party broadcasters to the user’s device. Sloth Radio acts solely as a technological conduit linking users to freely available public web-streaming uniform resource locators (URLs).
We do not guarantee, monitor, or verify the uptime, accuracy, content, legality, or operational status of any stream indexed via the radio-browser.info API. The underlying API directory is community-maintained and provided completely "as-is". Sloth Radio explicitly disclaims liability for sudden stream terminations, broken links, geographical blockades, changes in station formatting, or offensive broadcast content.
Sloth Radio relies entirely on the open, community-driven backend infrastructure provided by radio-browser.info to display its station lists, search results, and directory categories. In the event that radio-browser.info suffers severe downtime, modifies its API configuration, restricts data access, or ceases operations entirely, Sloth Radio’s directory features may become severely impaired or completely non-functional. The developers of Sloth Radio are not responsible for, and cannot be held liable for, any temporary or permanent discontinuation of service caused by third-party infrastructure failures or the shutdown of the radio-browser.info platform. No refunds or compensations will be issued under these circumstances.
Uninterrupted high-fidelity audio streaming requires significant network bandwidth and data consumption. Users are entirely responsible for tracking their own carrier contracts. Sloth Radio encourages the use of unmetered Wi-Fi connections. The developers shall not be held liable for any data overage penalties, cellular throttling, or financial charges incurred from mobile network operators during app utilization.
To ensure maximum backward compatibility and prevent thousands of historic or localized radio stations from becoming inaccessible, Sloth Radio may explicitly allow unencrypted cleartext HTTP connections for legacy streams. Users acknowledge that unencrypted network traffic carries higher privacy risks and explicitly accept this risk when choosing to connect to legacy digital streams.
All individual station names, logos, call signs, branding graphics, and registered trademarks displayed within the application directory remain the strict exclusive intellectual property of their respective broadcasters or original trademark owners. Sloth Radio asserts no commercial or proprietary ownership over these digital assets; they are rendered solely for identifying and navigating to the public streams.

Sloth Radio values user privacy. The application does not utilize remote cloud accounts, nor does it harvest, upload, or monetize your personalized listening patterns. All custom favorites, local stream configurations, sleep settings, and recent history logs are stored exclusively in decentralized on-device memory. Clearing application data, formatting the device, or uninstalling the app will permanently erase this data unless natively backed up via Google's integrated Android system backup mechanisms.
Sloth Radio operates entirely on a client-side, decentralized model and does not store any user data on external cloud servers. Because of this architecture, you do not need to contact the developer to delete your data; you have full control over your information directly from your Android device.
1. Delete All App Customizations & Favorites
To permanently erase your multi-category Favorites, Recent Playback History, and local settings from your device, follow these steps:
Open your device's Settings menu.
Navigate to Apps (or Apps & Notifications) -> Sloth Radio.
Tap on Storage & Cache (or Storage).
Tap Clear Data (or Clear Storage) and confirm.
(Alternatively, simply uninstalling the Sloth Radio application from your device will instantly and permanently erase all locally stored data).
2. Delete Third-Party Advertising and Analytics Data
As disclosed in our Privacy Policy, third-party services (like Google AdMob) may temporarily process limited device identifiers. You can reset or completely delete these identifiers at any time via your system settings:
Open your device's Settings menu.
Navigate to Privacy -> Ads.
Tap Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID.
What is deleted instantly: 100% of your personal favorites, local stream histories, alarms, and settings are wiped immediately upon clearing app data or uninstalling the app.
What is kept: Anonymized transaction receipts handled by Google Play Billing for Premium Tier upgrades are retained securely within Google's ecosystem to verify your purchase ownership if you reinstall the app in the future.
