Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question about the iAmp Android app? First read our FAQs below, and if that doesn't answer it, send us an email and we'll get back to you.

Where can I use the iAmp?

This app is designed for use in the UK, and will work anywhere with an available Wi-Fi, 3G or GPRS connection. If you can't hear us, please check your phone's connection. IMPORTANT! Please read the next FAQ for info on data charges before using the app.

Will it cost me anything?

This app is a free download from the Android Market
but you should always check your plan’s data usage terms before using the app. If you have an unlimited data plan, you should not be charged for using the Absolute Radio Player. We DO NOT recommend you use the app unless you have an unlimited data plan. You should also check what your plan says about overseas data usage if you planning on using the app while abroad. We've also added a HQ (High Quality) button so you can listen to our streams in 128k quality. You must be listening via wi-fi to use this function.

Where's the volume control?

This app uses the device’s built in volume, which can be adjusted via the rocker volume control on the side of the device. All current Android phones, including the HTC Hero, HTC Magic and G1 are supported with this feature.

What OS version do I need?

We recommend you have the latest version of the operating system on your device.

Will you be adding any more features to the Absolute Radio Player for Android?

This app is designed to be easy-to-use and fast-to-load, so we've kept it quite simple. There are improvements and additions planned for later versions, but at its heart, the app will always be a radio player for the Google phones. Feel free to send us your feature suggestions.
