Il faut parfois kill l’app et la relancer pour reprendre la lecture ### 4/5 — Listening using Eter *2026-07-27* I am a big music fan and enjoy the radio. So much out there to listen to. I like that everything syncs from all of my devices. Eter makes listening easy. Good quality and dependable. ### 3/5 — Geht ständig aus *2026-07-25* Ständig bricht das Netz ab... **Developer response:** Eter nutzt die Internetverbindung, die auf Ihrem Gerät vorhanden ist und die der Radiosender bereitstellt. Die App verwaltet keine eigene Verbindung. Wenn die Verbindung also schlecht ist, sollte das kein Problem mit der App sein. Der einzige Fall, in dem die Verbindung kurzzeitig abbricht, ist beim Wechsel zwischen WLAN und Mobilfunkdaten auf dem Smartphone, da die App dann wieder mit dem Stream verbunden werden sollte. ### 4/5 — Mitigé *2026-05-26* Très bonne appli, j’apprécie beaucoup la souplesse d’ajouter des radios personnalisées et le fait que la version Watch soit indépendante de la version iPhone. Cependant, je la trouve pas très fiable quand le téléphone est verrouillé, quand le son est diffusé en AirPlay ou avec CarPlay (elle peut crash toutes les 15 minutes ou pas du tout sans raisons). Je vais continuer à l’utiliser mais ai encore du mal à pleinement lui faire confiance pour ce qu’elle est censé faire. **Developer response:** Désolé d’apprendre que l’application plante. Vous pouvez aussi contacter notre support afin que nous puissions essayer de le résoudre. ### 2/5 — Not my peace of cake *2026-05-25, version 3.1* I do understand the paid version. But I can not test, try out the free version. Every time I want to, search, store a station, automatically or manual, the pop up screen appears and let me not do what I wanted. I don’t know what the purpose of a free version is, if you can’t do anything. ### 5/5 — Dump TuneIn - This is Better *2026-05-22* I’ve been using TuneIn for probably 15 years. This is so much better on many levels. No upsells No tracking Much better metadata/album art CarPlay works perfectly Robust directory of global stations. Easy to add custom stations Station logos can be a bit wonky - the app seems to randomly pull image based on keywords in the metadata (news story about birds shows an image of birds). Be great if a future update allowed you to paste in your own station image rather than choosing from the rather bizarre library built into the app. Excellent work from the developer. Really excited to continue to use this for a long time. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind reviews. As for your feedback about the cover for stations. The application will use the cover that stations may have or you can set your own. But indeed if there’s metadata, the application will try to match a song cover based on the metadata. I think that the correct solution would be to have an option for stations to not to treat their metadata as song names (and then try to find an album cover). Similar to how Shazam can be disabled, but the regular metadata can’t be disabled this way. I’ll file a ticket for this ### 5/5 — Latest Update *2026-05-21* It’s good to see an update! Eter is a very good app that could be even better. Fixes needed: - Volume slider isn’t functioning - Quick channel switch arrows aren’t functioning **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review. Regarding your issue with constantly restoring purchases: Eter does a lot to mitigate this issue and we see less of that now but still see interference from VPN apps or some apps that try to block/filter internet traffic. Do you happen to use any of these kind of apps? If you prefer, it would be better to contact our support directly at support@apparentsoft.com. The developer is gong to look into this issue again, regardless. ### 4/5 — Top app *2026-05-17* Falta opção buscar as rádios no Apple Watch ### 4/5 — Bonne application *2026-05-16* Bonne application, fonctionnelle et intuitive. Je reproche juste certaines publicités au démarrage de l’application malgré d’avoir payer les 9,99€ pour ne plus avoir de pubs… Ainsi que la station radio RMC qui plante 1 à 2 secondes à répétition… **Developer response:** Merci pour vos aimables mots au sujet d’Eter ! Eter n’affiche pas de publicité (ni dans la version gratuite, ni dans la version payante de l’app). Les publicités que vous entendez au début du flux depuis certaines stations sont diffusées par ces stations elles-mêmes (elles sont insérées automatiquement par elles pour les nouvelles connexions). Eter ne peut rien faire de plus à ce sujet : ce sont les stations qui transmettent leurs contenus. Concernant la radio RMC, que voulez-vous dire par « ça plante » ? Pouvez-vous nous envoyer un e-mail à support@apparentsoft.com ou nous contacter via notre forum Discourse avec le lien de la station (vous pouvez le partager directement depuis l’app) ? — Thank you for the kind words about Eter! Eter doesn’t have its own ad (neither in free or paid versions of the app). The ads that you hear in the beginning of the steam from some stations are broadcast by the stations themselves (they are inserted automatically by them for new connections). There’s another Eter can do about it, it’s what the radio stations transmit. Regarding RMC radio, what do you mean it crashes? Can you send us a support email to support@apparentsoft.com or to our Discourse forum with the station link shared (you can share right from the app). ### 5/5 — Macht, was es soll! *2026-05-13* Habe das Radio erstmals auf meine iMac installiert, bin sehr zufrieden mit Installation und Anwendung. **Developer response:** Danke! ### 3/5 — Nice app, but one major messy flaw. *2026-05-10* This app offers several nice functionalities. However, it stores station image .png cache files directly in the Documents folder, resulting in excessive clutter. To enhance the user experience, it would be beneficial to allow users to specify a directory for saving these cache files. If this feature is implemented, I would be willing to purchase the application. **Developer response:** Hello, could you write to support@apparentsoft.com about this? Please specify in which Documents folder you see it. I suppose you mean on your Phone? Jacob. ### 5/5 — New favorite and go-to radio app *2026-05-09* Update 5/8/26: increasing my rating to 5 ⭐️s based on the update that added previous and next station arrows as well as adding a mute button. Excellent update 👍 There is a lot to like about this app compared to similar apps.. It works with Carplay, you can manually search for favorites stations, sort stations and manually add stations using streaming URL’s. What would make this 5 stars is (1) the addition of previous and next arrows on the now playing screen to easily switch between favorite stations, (2) being able to use saved photos to change station logos rather the using logo URL’s and (3) add a song progress bar so we know when a song will end and (4) add an equalizer. **Developer response:** Hi Godfadda57, Thanks for all this feedback! - Preview and Next to go to the next station in the list are coming in the next release. - I’ve added an issue to our backlog to be able to upload an image from one’s Photo Library. - Because Eter plays radio streams rather than individual songs, there’s no way for it to know when a song will end and thus a song progress bar is not possible. - I will also add a request for an equalizer to our backlog. That said, this is probably beyond the scope of this straightforward streaming app. But, who knows what the future will hold? Kinds regards, Susannah ### 4/5 — Latest Update *2026-05-03, version 3.0* It’s good to see an update! Eter is a very good app that could be even better. Since the update, the volume slider doesn’t work, and the quick channel switch buttons don’t work. Grid layout isn’t great. Automatic light/dark to follow system is needed. ### 5/5 — v3 is a major improvement *2026-05-01, version 3.0* Best internet radio app. Love the ability to add custom streams. Worth the price. ### 5/5 — La meilleure app pour écouter ses radios favorites. *2026-05-01* La base des radios est importante, mais vous pouvez rajouter celles que vous voulez. Vous pouvez facilement zapper de radio en radio et en cliquant sur les pochettes vous avez accès aux titres sur Spotify ou Apple Music. En plus il recommande ma radio préférée Morow.com. Dernière chose c’est compatible CarPlay, iPhone iPad, apple watch, apple TV et sur les Mac a partir du M1. Un must. ### 5/5 — Great Radio App *2026-04-09, version 2.10.1* I like that Eter is a basic radio streaming app that syncs my favourites between my Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. I had a memory leak when I first installed it on my mini Mac but it has not done it again after I restarted the app. ### 4/5 — New favorite and go-to radio app *2026-04-02* There is a lot to like about this app compared to similar apps.. It works with Carplay, you can manually search for favorites stations, sort stations and manually add stations using streaming URL’s. What would make this 5 stars is (1) the addition of previous and next arrows on the now playing screen to easily switch between favorite stations, (2) being able to use saved photos to change station logos rather the using logo URL’s and (3) add a song progress bar so we know when a song will end and (4) add an equalizer. **Developer response:** Hi Godfadda57, Thanks for all this feedback! - Preview and Next to go to the next station in the list are coming in the next release. - I’ve added an issue to our backlog to be able to upload an image from one’s Photo Library. - Because Eter plays radio streams rather than individual songs, there’s no way for it to know when a song will end and thus a song progress bar is not possible. - I will also add a request for an equalizer to our backlog.

Kinds regards, Susannah ### 3/5 — Memory Leaks *2026-02-21, version 2.10.1* I like that Eter is a basic radio streaming app that syncs my favourites between my Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. However it has a memory leak on my Mac mini with Tahoe that will eat up all my ram causing issues with other apps. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Startet nicht mehr *2026-07-30* Leider muss ich die App seit neustem löschen und wieder laus dem App Store laden sonst startet eter nicht .was ist da los? **Developer response:** Hallo, es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Eter bei Ihnen nicht startet. Ich empfehle Ihnen, sich an den Support zu wenden, damit wir das Problem gemeinsam lösen können. Sie erreichen uns unter support@apparentsoft.com. ### 1/5 — Absolute Junk *2026-03-15, version 2.10.1* None of the buttons work, can’t add stations, whole thing just lock up every time … completely unusable. Trying to get a refund now. Beware! ### 1/5 — Crashing all the time *2025-09-20, version 2.9* Nauseating ads every three seconds and a buggy App that collapses if you lose mobile signal for more than a nanosecond out on the road ### 1/5 — You can’t sync favorites between desktop and mobile device *2025-05-07, version 2.5.2* What good is an app that doesn’t have a feature to sync your favorite radio stations between your Mac desktop and iPhone. I have to go through the process twice, not worth the $8+ i paid. Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Пф *2025-04-14* А где каталог радиостанций по странам-городам? Просто каталог где? Тоже мне интернет-радио. Пфффф, удаляю ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-04-09, version 2.5* You can manually enter your favorite Internet radio station but you cannot save it on your favorite, it does not shows on your history. You cannot Hide the recommended stations because Everything Requires to be PREMIUM. There’s better app than this and free without premium fee ### 1/5 — Price bumps *2025-03-21, version 2.4* Don’t like the frequent price increases! ### 1/5 — It accesses my Mic *2025-03-07, version 2.4* For some reason this radio app is turning on my mic and listening to whatever. ### 1/5 — No Shazam *2025-03-03, version 2.3* Says it has integration but no worky. Also has zero support for organization like folders etc. Broadcasts is better since it has both of these features. ### 1/5 — Good app *2025-02-08* Good but, it need to decrease the icon size in menubar and add option to remove the channel cover, if you make these feedbacks, I will change my review to 5 stars ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pls d’accès *2026-08-30* Depuis la mise à jour Eter ne s’ouvre plus sur mon iPhone 15. **Developer response:** Veuillez essayer de désinstaller puis de réinstaller l'application. ### 5/5 — New Improved Better *2026-08-29* The newly added ability to organise favourites easily into folders is a brilliant addition. Simply makes a great app, greater. Fasting loading, reliable app. ### 5/5 — This is how you do it! *2026-08-01* Eter is brilliant; logically built and laid out, elegant UI, and a portal to the largest treasure trove of stations and music I have ever seen — much, much larger than other apps. I have had internet radio stations’ own apps go slow, grind to a complete halt or simply stop working, but I can get to listen to them uninterrupted through Eter. It’s now the ONLY app I use for internet radio. This is how you build an app. Most highly recommended! ### 5/5 — I Love You Eter Radio *2026-07-23* My GOTO Radio Player ### 5/5 — Has been my favorite reliable global music streaming app! *2026-07-08* I use this daily. It’s rock solid and extremely well designed and developed. Love it. Tons of live music stations from all genres to add to your favs list. They got shoegaze, rock, soul, classical, chill hop, jazz, indie, you name it! One of my fav daily use Mac apps. Also has a cool little menu bar mini player. Recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review. Tell your friends about Eter! ### 5/5 — Fantastic radio app, centerpiece of my music discovery these days *2026-07-06* It just does what it says it does, extremely well. I use it to play my favorite radio stations and find new ones. UI is great, sound quality is great on high-quality feeds. Recently I’ve been using it on tvOS, which for me is hooked up to a pretty good amp/speaker system, and it’s a great way to listen to music. And in this day and age, it’s sometimes best to discover music through people (DJs) as opposed to just algorithms. One can also use AI to find radio stations that fit your interests, and import them to this app en masse. Keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Latest Update *2026-07-03, version 3.2* On screen volume slider doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-27, version 3.1* This app excels by loading fast. The only improvements I can think of is to have folders to organise favourites & a button lock so the controls aren’t accidentally pressed. ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2026-06-19* Mit der App bin ich sehr zufrieden. Alles läuft sehr gut- iPhone, Mac, Apple TV und auch Android. Nur bitte fehlt die App unter Windows. Danke. **Developer response:** Danke für die freundliche Bewertung. Erzählen Sie Ihren Freunden von Eter :). ### 5/5 — Macht Spaß *2026-06-10* Sehr zuverlässig, übersichtlich und macht einfach Spaß. Beste App seit langem **Developer response:** Vielen Dank.
