If you own a Moto G or Moto E, your phone has an FM radio built into the design. Motorola’s official app for using the FM tuner is not very interesting, but it has improved significantly today.

It also includes a sleep timer, a small tool that lets you set a time limit. and turn off the radio while you fall asleep.
