Reciva Connect Plus powers 3 new iPhone apps!
Reciva today announced the launch of 3 internet radio applications on the iTunes App Store. Reciva iRadio*, 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, AM, HD, and DAB to Internet only stations.
Reciva iRadio
Although the Reciva iRadio app can be used exclusively on the iPhone (available for download here), it also offers real-time integration with your Reciva web account and Reciva based Internet Radios. This 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 also means Reciva iRadio is completely future proofed for any new features added to ‘My Stuff’. 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 is a fantastic achievement for what was a traditionally hardware based company to create such a pioneering software application for the world’s most popular app driven mobile platform”.
Reciva Connect Plus (RCP)
Reciva Connect Plus is available to anyone wishing to create Internet Radio based applications, widgets or new services for net connected devices, from games consoles such as the PS3 and Xbox360 to the next generation of WiFi TV’s and Set Top Boxes. It can also be implemented on any mobile OS including (not exclusively) Android, Windows Mobile, Web OS, Symbian, RIM and of course iPhone. In fact, there are probably very few consumer electronics products left in the world in which you can’t integrate Reciva Connect Plus… it can even be used on other Wi-Fi radio platforms!
Matt Shortt went on to say “We believe RCP offers many more opportunities for our customers and showcases the power of our platform. It’s a real game-changer for the internet radio industry. We are now in the unique position of being able to offer CE Brands and OEMs just one supplier to create end-to-end, net radio connected devices. Whether that is through our world class hardware solutions Barracuda and Stingray or our industry leading web API – Reciva Connect Plus”.
