Two in One - this could be a slogan for the new version of FM Radio by Andrey Kozhanov which comes with a complete new theme or in other words: A second radio within the application. A few weeks ago we already reviewed Kozhanov's application (see here) but have to share some amazing news for owners and future users of this fantastic application. FM Radio reaches version 1.0.0 and the update will be available at Nokia Store very soon.
2 big improvements since our last review

| New look: Second theme for FM Radio |
The new theme is a very welcome addition. Even though the beautiful classic theme has found many admirers, there are also users who prefer a more modern look with a design which flawlessly fits the N9 interface.
Version 1.0.0 of FM Radio offers now both and you can switch between the two themes without closing the application or interrupting a radio emission you are listening to. The modern theme looks as good as the classic one in a very different way. It's kept simple with a clean, crisp and contrast-rich look. New is a menu bar at the bottom of the screen which has additional options like adding a name to a saved radio station or list all available channels with a scan.
Since the previous update, FM Radio can receive and display RDS (Radio Data System) informations. This allows the application to automatically show names of channels, running shows or playing music. If using the classic theme you have to slide down the signal-meter/save-slots cover, which makes appear a small display showing RDS informations.
That the developer has an eye for detail, can be seen if you slide down the cover too far - you won't "break" your radio, but will see some of the electronics and cables - what a nice idea!
