Description

Listen to streaming internet radio in an ultra-simple, single-purpose app. Broadcasts makes building a library of stations from around the world easier than ever — no subscription required. Use completely free with a limited-size library of stations, or upgrade to the full version to unlock the library limit and add as many of your own stations as you like from the Station Browser, or manually via URL. Search for stations from around the world as easily as from your own library.  Showcase gorgeous station and track artwork (for supported stations) with the all-new Now Playing screen. Use Shazam (Beta) to power the Now Playing screen with artwork and metadata for stations that do not provide it, or simply to provide an ambient Now Playing experience for music playing nearby. Show the currently playing artwork and metadata on external displays if you want an all-screen experience. Sync your library across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV with iCloud & Universal Purchase. Browse stations in grid or list view. Listen in Light or Dark mode. Edit stations to provide your own artwork, or use the Artwork Chooser to generate something fun and colorful. Thoughtful mouse, trackpad & keyboard support provides a great experience on iPad. Perform common tasks from the Command menu, and control playback using keyboard shortcuts. Use Handoff to transfer playback between devices, or AirPlay directly to a home speaker. Listen with just your Apple Watch (Cellular) while out and about, or on Apple TV at home. Supports CarPlay on certified devices; stream internet radio on your CarPlay-enabled head unit directly. Automate playback using Shortcuts.

    Read about this app while searching Reddit for TuneIn Radio alternatives... Working great for me so far... It is REALLY ad free... The basic (unpaid) version has a 5 saved station limit... That works out fine for me since I have 4 different genres of heavy metal and 1 hardbass channel on my faves list!
  • Excellent.

    I have spent years searching for an app that does online streaming this well. Broadcasts is similar to Foobar for iPhones. It has a simple and fully customizable interface that is extremely rare in any App Store. As a bonus, it supports CarPlay. The best money I have ever spent for a software. Could not be more highly recommended.
  • great!

    nice radio app! thanks for all the work and support! i particularly appreciate the ability to manually add station urls. i would suggest adding an option to lower buffering for those on low latency connections. this may help with the delay when changing stations.
  • Very close to being great

    Apple Music and iTunes are terrible at managing internet radio streaming. Thankfully, the Broadcasts app steps into that gap and mostly does what Apple Music refuses to do with internet streaming. I happily purchased the premium version of Broadcasts as soon as I discovered it. However, I found a big problem when using Broadcasts [version 3.4.7 (373)] on macOS. When using Broadcasts on macOS, the primary volume slider in Broadcasts becomes non-functional when internet radio is streamed to any Airplay speaker. Separately, I would love to have a “remote” function that would allow the macOS installation of Broadcasts to be controlled via iPhone. Thanks and keep up the great work!
  • Great app

    Does it exactly what I would like, awesome to have multi-platform support including Apple TV. I just wish my old college radio station would get on board now
  • Very Straight Forward and Does What I Need

    I highly recommend it. My main use case is listening to my own private stations, but it does that flawlessly. It even supports .hls format and has the option to purchase it as a one time fee. That alone makes it the only one I will even consider.
