Spirit FM Unlocked is a real, tuned, "over the air" FM radio app with RDS (song info etc.) and other advanced features. It is NOT a streaming app that requires expensive data service.
Spirit was initially targetted at custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod, on which FM app availability is limited.
If you don't know what a "ROM" is, then your phone is likely "Stock" and un-rooted.
Support for stock, un-rooted devices is now present, but limited, and various bugs are being worked on.
If your stock phone has a working, stock FM app you are happy with, then Spirit may be of little use to you at present.
If your stock phone does not have a working, stock FM app, then FM is likely impossible, except Bionic, Droid 2 & 3, Defy.
Some phones will never work and nobody can make them work because the hardware is disabled. This includes Atrix, Nexus S, US Galaxy S2's, Galaxy Tab, Droid (1)/Milestone, P999 G2x, Galaxy Spica.
I understand the prices may seem high, but this is a niche app. Price experiments say higher prices will keep this app alive & improving.
How many other "Real FM" apps are on the Market ? Two: 1 for Galaxy S only and one repackaged Motorola app.
Why ? It's extremely difficult. Google does not support FM apps. They and the carriers seem to dislike free "Over The Air" FM.
