CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reciva (www.reciva.com) today announced the launch of 3 internet radio applications on the iTunes App Store. Reciva iRadio¹, Radiostar and Grace Digital Radio are all available now for your iPhone or iPod Touch. The 3 apps have different features and price points but all offer an outstanding variety of radio listening from traditional broadcast such as FM and AM through to digital radio stations on DAB, HD and Internet only.
Reciva iRadio
Although the Reciva iRadio app can be used exclusively on the iPhone (available for download here http://tinyurl.com/recivairadio), it also offers real-time integration with your Reciva web account and Reciva based Internet Radios. This feature adds the ‘My Stuff’ menu (My Stations, My Podcasts and My Streams) to your app for free!
Being powered by the world leading Reciva Connect Plus web service means that Reciva iRadio is completely future proofed for feature updates. Visit radios.reciva.com to register your Reciva iRadio app and let the fun begin!
Matt Shortt, Marketing Director at Reciva, said of the Reciva iRadio app “it’s a fantastic achievement for a traditionally hardware based company to create such a pioneering software application for the world’s most popular mobile phone. I look forward to seeing Internet Radio apps using Reciva Connect Plus appearing on other mobile platforms in near future”.
