This is kind of interesting if you're into the technical aspects of radio or if you're on a journey somewhere and are looking for something that comes in. It's called The RadioLand App and it was designed to allow users to find out which stations come in the best and where they're located - all on your Android or iPhone. Keep in mind it's only for FM.
The guy who designed it as sort of a hobby has made sure that it includes not only the U.S., but also Canada and other countries.
"With the data we’ve been able to amass, RadioLand handles not just listings in the United States, but Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean, with sights set on Europe next. The list and map of stations receivable for a location can be shared out as a PDF file."
"...RadioLand pulls in updated copies of the FCC database each night, and Canada’s FM database through ISED as it is updated, and that is the technical data for the stations you see. Format and slogan data, along with station data from all other areas."
The app is free and can be found here.

So is this something that allows you to listen to the stations? Or is it just a reference work to help in finding and identifying stations?

As far as I know, it's for information purposes only. No streaming. Just lots of technical data about each station if you're that way inclined.

That's exactly what I want. Do I need to have a smart phone to use the ap?

I believe it's for phones or tablets only, not for computer or laptop use. Android and iPhone.

Then I suppose it won't work for my phone on the kitchen wall.
