No specific recommendation per-se, but I can guide with:

- looking at [F-droid packages](https://search.f-droid.org/?q=radio&lang=en), in the first place to narrow down decent candidates
- then inspecting the source code of the select project by checking: commit history, if releases do export an `.apk`, seeing if the project is still alive (frequency of the updates, repo’s issues)
- the amount [of permissions/trackers it does have](https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/)
- [optional] double-checking [how it behaves](https://plexus.techlore.tech/) with no Gplay, good apps don’t enforce it on your usually

The rest is more about maintainer’s street cred + features of the app itself given your subjective taste. :+1:t2:
