Tune in to thousands of live internet radio streams – right on your Mac – from Hong Kong, Poland, Zimbabwe and everywhere in between with Broadcasts.

What we love: Browsing by country. Discover techno from Germany, reggaeton from Paraguay, classical from Estonia and K-pop from South Korea. There are plenty of talk and sports-radio options too – perfect for language learners. Adding your favourites to a collection syncs them across the Broadcasts app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.

Quick tip: Want to doze off to Swedish jazz pop or love songs from Portugal? Set a Sleep Timer (Controls > Sleep Timer) to have Broadcasts switch off automatically.

Meet the creator: Irish developer Steven Troughton-Smith contributed to one of the first iPhone games on the App Store, Lights Off, and makes the handy colour-palette utility Pastel.
