iHeartRadio SmartPhone App To all such, Window Phone, Blackberry, Android And iOs. The SYNC-enabled iHeartRadio app from Clear Channel's industry-leading digital radio service, delivers more than 800 of the nation's most popular live broadcast and digital-only stations, plus user-created custom stations - all in one fully integrated service.
iHeartRadio is the sixth app for SYNC AppLink that Ford is launching at the 2012 International CES. iHeartRadio is one of the first broadcast radio apps to connect listeners through a native in-car system to Facebook Timeline.
Being the first to add the iHeartRadio app with voice commands puts Ford further out front in the race to integrate smart technologies that are easy to use in to vehicles, a growing customer demand that is quickly becoming standard.
The iHeartRadio app, which can be accessed using steering wheel-mounted controls or SYNC's voice commands, has numerous easy-to-use features that tailor the listening experience in the vehicle to meet the needs of the driver. With the app, the driver can do everything from creating a custom station and stopping or starting a song to playing local iHeartRadio stations and finding traffic reports based on location through the phone's GPS using simple voice commands or the buttons on the steering wheel.
iHeartRadio also connects users, hands-free through SYNC AppLink, to their Facebook Timelines, which enables users to share music with friends.
Drivers who want to hear other stations similar to one they are already listening to can just say "recommend stations" or use the "my stations" command to listen to custom stations they have created or their favorite stations. While listening to custom stations, the "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" commands can be used to like or skip songs. The content of custom stations can be further adjusted by saying "more discovery" or "less discovery" to restrict the playlist to more familiar tracks or expose drivers to new music.
Recognizing that more drivers are using smartphone apps while driving, Ford decided to become a part of the global solution by developing AppLink to give SYNC users industry-exclusive hands-free voice control capability of smartphone apps.
