Explanation of the UserAgent ‘VRadio’ in web radio logs
What is the UserAgent “VRadio”?
If the UserAgent “VRadio” appears in your web radio logs, the access most likely comes from a listener who is playing your stream via the VRadio app.
VRadio is a popular internet radio app for Android, iOS and Windows. It allows you to listen to thousands of radio stations worldwide – including many independent web radio stations like yours.
What is the VRadio app?
VRadio offers users:
- Direct access to Internet radio stations via app
- A clear channel list, genres and favorites
- Support for title ads, cover art and more
- Functions such as sleep timer, recording or streaming to external devices
The app is available in both the Google Play Store and the Microsoft Store – with millions of downloads and very good ratings.
Why does “VRadio” appear in web radio logs?
When a user accesses your stream via the app, the player identifies itself to your server with the UserAgent “VRadio”. This allows you to see in the logs exactly how many listeners are using VRadio to listen to your program.
This information is particularly helpful if you:
- Want to assess your reach via third-party apps
- want to analyze technical problems in a targeted manner
- want to understand the popularity of certain platforms among your listeners
Is VRadio good for your reach?
Definitely. If your station is heard via VRadio, you benefit from:
- additional visibility in an established app
- mobile listeners who stream flexibly on the go
- an interface that can correctly display metadata such as song titles (if your stream supports this)
Tip: Make sure that your stream URL is stable and provides correct metadata – this improves the display in VRadio and other radio directories.
Conclusion: VRadio stands for real listener access
The UserAgent “VRadio” shows that a real listener has accessed your stream via the VRadio app. The app is widely used and offers a good listening experience, especially on mobile devices. Your presence there increases your reach and can bring in new regular listeners.
