Internet radio on your Mac but with restrictions
I like the idea, but the app has been deliberately hamstrung by not being allowed to add any other stations.
Response from developer
Hi dshum17 Broadcasts is a paid app; to add new stations and collections you need to purchase the full version — but if you do wish to stay on the free version, you can edit the preset stations to add your own URLs and artwork. Free or paid, your changes will sync across your devices without restriction. Thanks!
Fast developer support
I ran into an issue and reached out on Twitter, the developer quickly responded and told me a good work around
Solid Radio App
I don't listen to much radio, but I have a few favorite stations - this app is perfect for me - I have been able to listen to my favorite college radio stations in a single location. Great. Work.
Can't navigate backwards
I searched for stations in Japan, now stations in Japan are the ONLY ones I can search for - the back button doesn't work. I feel ripped off. This should not be for sale until it has been tested.
Just what I was looking for
With the current lockdown I've been listening to a lot more music working from home, and not owning an actual radio I wanted to find a nicely designed Mac app that could handle Internet radio streaming, and this is just the ticket.
It has a lot of built in stations, but you can also define your own if you have a streaming link (m3u), and customise the name and logo. Best of all your stations sync via iCloud to iPhone.
I'd love the ability to run it from the Mac menu bar, but otherwise it's a really solid little app.

Sync wiped out everyintg I worked on.
I oringinally installed this on my iPhone then my Mac. Created a handful of collections and added custom artwork to many streams. I installed on my iPad today after seeing the tweet for mouse support. Unfortunately the iPads lack of collections synced across all my devices and wiped everything out.
Reached out to Steve via twitter to inform him of this issue and have not received a reply.
This isn't worth the headache. I'm going to just consider the purchase a loss and uninsall.

Getting there
Station browser and configuration is welcome addition, plus stations now synch via iCloud. Still needs buffering/time warping, so listener can go back and forth in time.
Excellence in Minimalism
This may be free, but $5 enables a lot. He started out with the ability to manually add a station. Then added a directory with search capabilities broken down by country. Added CarPlay support. iCloud sync across devices, including macOS. I mean, even the app icon is cool. I don’t understand the hater’s gripes. I’ve paid $5 for apps I’ve used maybe 3-4 times. I’ll get a lot of use out of this one. And he’s submitted like 8 updates to this app in a week. He wants to get it right and it shows. Also, check the file size...

Great app
Great app and easy to use!
The Radio App I've Been Waiting For
Broadcasts is a new app that is steadily and rapidly improving and adding features (e.g., the recent directory of stations addition), but already I'm won over from a well-known competitor's legacy app that I've never loved. Broadcast: a simple, low cost radio app on both iOS and Mac OS X that syncs well. I'd love to see the ability to export and import station lists (including descriptions and icons) so that I could evangelize the app to my friends and family and make it dirt simple for them to add the app and get started. Finding which radio stations are the "best" or are "stations in my areas of listening interest" amongst the multitude of stations in the USA and worldwide is likely still overwhelming for new users, so any feature that would help could be useful. Kudos to the developer.
