Listen to iHeartRadio from OUYA, the New Game Console Everyone is Talking About
We are excited to share the news that iHeartRadio is the first radio app to come to OUYA, the $99 gaming console that is about the size of a Rubik's Cube. OUYA created a lot of buzz after it raised $1 million on Kickstarter in its first eight hours — making it the fastest Kickstarter project to reach the million dollar mark.
iHeartRadio HTML 5 App is a great fit for OUYA because it's built for a large screen format and provides an intuitive and engaging audio and visual experience.
The Android-powered gaming console will have all the same features as our regular app — the best live radio stations from all over America, PLUS user-created Custom Stations, like a playlist, inspired by favorite artists and songs, all-in-one free digital radio experience.
In addition to OUYA, iHeartRadio is available online, on mobile and tablets, in your car and on connected devices, including Xbox and GoogleTV.
