Felice nuovo anno a tutti! | Happy New Year to everyone!
Many of you who read my blog always send me nice emails or leave comments about certain apps, so I just wanted to say that the app for Radio 24 has been updated (finally!). You can now listen to their podcasts directly from the app!
Just do a search in the app store for "Radio 24" or click here to go to their Itunes page. Their app is currently free.
I recommend this radio station because they have a large number of radio programs on various topics, and it is always a great way to build your vocabulary by listening to shows about various topics, even those that you might avoid in your native language (for example, I don't read/listen to sports news much, but I try to do more of that in Italian).
Another app that I just recently discovered thanks to iPhone Italia is the free iPhone/iPad app for Sky News 24. The first thirty days that you download the app, you can watch live and streaming over your phone this channel. Currently, you can watch free from your PC, but if you're away from your PC and want to watch the news or find out what is going on in Italy at any given moment, this is a cool app. After 30 days, a subscription (in app purchase) is required before you can stream. A monthly subscription costs $1.99 and the price decreases per month if you purchase a yearly subscription. Check the app for the latest in app prices.
Also, TG1 and TG3, which deliver TV news and are part of Rai, also have apps for the iPhone. Users have reported that these apps do not work well, but they appear to work fine on my iPhone. Check them out and see for yourself.
Before closing, I just want to address a message I received a few weeks ago. I am sorry if I do not talk about apps for other devices. Since I do not have any other kind of phone, it is hard for me to comment on them. I apologize for the Apple centricness of my blog, and I will do better to promote listening resources that do not require an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. As always, if you know of an online resource that I should profile, please let me know!
