Poolside FM is a music radio player that imitates the style of the 1990s. The music played is not only retro, but also aims to make users feel like playing in an infinity pool in the summer. Simply put, it will make you feel relaxed and happy. There are two versions: Mac and web version. The web version is more special. It adopts the interface design of Mac OS 8. People who don’t know it will think they are entering the operating system when opening it. Literary youths and people who like retro things or music will definitely love it.
