Eter: Streaming Internet Radio is not just a radio app—it’s your portal to over 40,000 global radio stations and it’s filled with great features!
Before we tell you more, let’s first step back in time… the story of how Eter came to Apparent Software is an interesting one. It starts at Macworld 2011. Apparent founder and senior dev Jacob had a booth there at Macworld and, of course, met a lot of press back in those days when there were loads of people writing articles on slim slices of dead trees. One of them was Krystian Kozerawski, a Polish tech blogger (see the photo from back then below). Jacob and Krystian became fast friends, in part because of their common love for similar music and both being guitarists, having played in bands. They kept in touch and a few years later Krystian decided to become a Swift developer and then he joined Apparent Software as a Junior Developer, more than 5 years ago. He developed Eter as a side-project and it became quite popular in Poland. He then suggested to bring it into Apparent Software’s fold because, as he says, he treats us like a rock band and the app is like a song that he brings to the band. Which is a really nice notion, if you ask us. And now, back to the app!
