Eter Radio is an app for listening to Internet radio stations. Eter Radio is available in a universal version for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS. Eter Radio uses the publicly available radio-browser.info database, which contains a collection of free and publicly available Internet radio stations. You can also add any stream by URL. Eter for iOS, iPadOS and macOS offers a hand-crafted list of recommended stations and the ability to search radio-browser.info for other radio stations. To be able to save favorite stations, you must unlock the program with a one-time In-App Purchase. (The price in the App Store may vary depending on the country and the local currency rate). Eter on tvOS and watchOS works as a companion app. If you've upgraded to Premium, you can play your favorites on these platforms too. Curious what that song is? You can optionally use Shazam automatic song recognition to know what’s playing. (Available for all users.) Enjoy unlimited listening with Eter on any Apple anything, including CarPlay, for free. We strive to provide an outstanding internet radio experience to all users, including those using VoiceOver. If you spot shortcomings, please reach out to support@apparentsoft.com so we can work together to improve things. Upgrade Eter with a single one-time in-app purchase to: - Save favorite stations so you don’t have to search each time. - Hide the recommended stations & just see your own list. - View listening history and open any track in Apple Music. - Use Eter from the Mac menu bar and hide its Dock icon (Mac only). - Set a sleep timer to drift off to calming tunes from anywhere in the world. - Try experimental features like streaming to a Chromecast device. - Support the continued development of this app.
