Hey all, it was great to receive a couple of invites to SWLFest. While I
can't be there in person, I wanted to be there in spirit.
Based on the comments about the Pro app (currently $3), shortwave listeners
and radio news junkies love this version of my Android app.
You can try out the free version - http:://bit.ly/1radioapps or get the
100+ station pro version for 99 cents (67% off) through the weekend:

Here are some ideas I need feedback/help on:
1. Adding direct streams to international public/gov broadcasters in the
Pro with the time of the UTC English program shared. I am finding it very
hard to suss out which streams eventually have an English program (fyi,
Radio Poland is super smart with language-based streams). Anyone want to
help crowd-source these direct stream links?
2. Adding direct links to the pages with English program podcasts AND then
adding a feature to simply play just the latest program. (Other more
complicated podcast services already cover going back in time ... for me
radio is about what's now.) Is this a good idea?
For example, does RAE offer their own podcasts for -
http://rae.radionacional.com.ar/?page_id=110 - the Radio360.eu option
doesn't seem to start right with the English program which app users would
expect
3. Kickstarter for iOS version? As this is still a hobby that might break
even if a few years :-), I've said the free version needs 10,000 active
install (currently approaching 1500) on Android before I can consider going
the hole more with the dream of sharing the diversity of quality world news
radio on another platform. Can folks image people essentially donating
money (say $25-100) for "perks" to make an iPhone version happen far
sooner???
Have a great SWLFest!
