radiko Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Takuo Ikeda, Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo), which provides 'radiko,' a free service that allows users to listen to radio and podcasts on smartphones, PCs, and other devices, has begun offering a new feature called 'Quick Access' within the radiko app to some users. This feature is a new initiative aimed at realizing a smoother access experience for programs that users enjoy daily.
Up until now, radiko has provided features that respond to user requests such as 'I want to listen to programs without worrying about time limits,' through enhancements to its podcast function and the introduction of 'Time-Free 30.' Amidst this, many users also expressed desires like 'I want to reach newly started programs, programs I haven't listened to in a while, or programs I frequently listen to, more easily.' This highlighted a latent need for further convenience in the routine act of 'listening to favorite programs.'
In response to these user voices, the radiko app has released the new 'Quick Access' feature. This feature automatically displays up to 8 programs that are highly likely to be listened to by each user on the home screen. The displayed content is updated according to usage trends, flexibly adapting to changes in users' listening styles.
By smoothly accessing target programs from the home screen immediately after launching the app, the effort previously required for screen transitions and program searches is reduced, providing a more intuitive listening experience.
'Quick Access' is a feature that provides users with an environment where they can 'listen to their favorite programs more easily.' The experience of connecting with radio without unnecessary operations, even in a busy daily life, evolves radio into a more familiar presence.
radiko will continue to sincerely address user feedback, developing new features and continuously improving existing experiences. We will strive to evolve our service so that radio naturally integrates into daily life and becomes an indispensable part of more people's lives.
