Radio - Receiver 4+

All Thumbs up!! This app is great in so many details:

I‘m using it on iPad, iPhone and there‘s even an Apple TV app included.

The Widget on iOS allows a QuickStart on the iphone - but best of all is the easy launch via Siri shortcut - and all my favorites are synced via iCloud: awesome!!

I can finally use internet radio for all(!) my preferred stations across all my preferred devices and including my HomePods just without any hassle.

Apple Watch support: more good things...

The WatchOS-native „now playing“ also and correctly displays what‘s currently streaming and gives volume control: for my taste, this is the fastest way to quickly start/pause and volume control: works great.
there‘s also a dedicated „Receiver“ watchOS app that gives control over favorite stations and volume control. (Since I‘m using Siri shortcuts, I don’t use the watchOS app a lot).

One can tell that the developers are really good in design and implementation.

I haven‘t found a corner in the app that has been neglected: good work, guys!!

Great value for the $3.99

(Note: I haven‘t tried the ‚podcast‘ part of the app - I really just looked for ‚radio‘)

I have used Receiver since 2016 having used many other popular radio apps. Receiver has many advantages: • a very easy and efficient design• a comprehensive collection of radio sources • many ways to search for stations • a list of the listener’s favorites determined by the listener and not by a monster bot • ability to create custom streams by url • a widget that list twenty of your favorite stations • excellent privacy and tracking policy • most affordable • the best value.

I’m so glad I found this app. It’s so easy to use. I love listening to local music and news, as well as national news and new music stations. While I have other on demand music and podcast streaming services, there’s something cozy and simple about listening to the radio for music and news. I love this app. It’s very polished. Great job!
