It all started over 15 years ago, at the dawn of the smartphone era. As iOS was emerging, our founders — passionate about radio and technology — saw the opportunity early. They believed radio stations needed a way to reach listeners through mobile devices and turn local broadcasts into global online radio broadcasting experiences.

With limited resources at the time, one founder even bought an iPhone on credit to build the first radio app for iPhone. We began by creating simple play-button apps for radio stations, mainly for clients of our sister company, 3DS, giving them their first mobile presence.

Soon, the idea expanded. A small website was launched to sell these apps globally, and after a simple newsletter, orders started arriving from radio stations around the world. What began as a side project quickly became a platform helping stations create radio apps and reach listeners everywhere.

Since then, we’ve continuously evolved — adding live streaming, push notifications, monetization tools, custom themes, and integrations like CarPlay. Today, Looksomething has powered over 2,000 radio apps worldwide, helping FM stations, web stations, radio networks, and white-label radio station platforms reach millions of listeners.
