Poland's news in English, live Polish radio, smog, shop hours and name days.
Poland's news in English, live Polish radio, and what a day in Poland means: the weather and the smog, whether the shops are open, whose name day it is, the złoty, and every holiday. For Poles abroad, expats in Poland and anyone with Polish family.
NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Poland News & Polish Radio is independent. It does not represent the Government of Poland or any government agency, and it is not affiliated with them. Every source the app uses is listed below under SOURCES, with its link.
NEWS
Poland's news in English from the publishers under SOURCES, by topic (politics, the economy, defence, Ukraine and the East, Polonia, sport, culture and more) and city. Follow what matters: a notification at most once a day each, never at night.
POLISH RADIO
Live Polish radio anywhere: Polish Radio, Radio Poland in English, national stations, oldies, classical, disco polo and your region's station. Favorites and a sleep timer.
TODAY IN POLAND
The time in Poland, the weather and the air (smog) in your city, whether the shops are open (most close on Sundays; trading Sundays are marked), today's name days, the złoty against your currency and what money sent home comes to, the next long weekend, and a security watch.
NAME DAYS
Whose name day it is every day, any name's day, and a reminder for the people you add.
EVERY HOLIDAY
Public holidays, trading Sundays, winter breaks for your voivodeship, Grandma's Day and Mother's Day, Fat Thursday, Wigilia and the PIT deadline, with reminders the evening before.
LEARN POLISH
A Polish word a day with pronunciation, and "Poland explained": tap the Sejm, ZUS or 800 plus under a headline.

Polish words and Poland explained: written for the app
WHAT IT CAN'T DO
Radio is live: songs you save open in Apple Music or Spotify. Stories are written by the publishers above, not by us. Rates are the official average: banks give a little less.
Free, with a single banner ad. A one-time purchase removes it.
Novedades
A completely new app: Poland's news in English by topic and city, live Polish radio with your region's station, the smog, whether the shops are open, name days, the złoty, every holiday and long weekend, and a Polish word a day.
