The story of how Eter 2.0 came about is an interesting one: It starts at Macworld 2011. My business partner and I had a booth for Apparent Software, and obviously, we’ve met a lot of press there. One of them was Krystian Kozerawski, a Polish tech blogger. We got really friendly, in part because of our common love for similar music and both of us being guitarists, having played in bands. We kept in touch, and a few years later, Krystian decided to become a Swift developer. Then, he joined Apparent Software as a Junior Developer, more than five years ago. He developed Eter as a side-project, and it became quite popular in Poland. He then suggested bringing 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 me. And now, back to the app: We see a lot of customer liking the straight-forward approach that Eter took to the online radio experience and of course how it works across Apple devices. It's cheap, too. We have many plans to improve it. We called version 2.0 "2.Beautiful", and we're now going to address commonly requested features, making it more useful to more people in the next updates.

@jacobgorban This is really cool Jacob. Which countries does Eter support? I'm asking because in poorer countries, people only have one device (their phone). So they use it for everything, including listening to radios.

@jgani Eter is sold in all countries. It’s localized in a few. It’s Internet radio so the station you can listen to can be from anywhere.
