Tune in to Stitcher for personalis­ed radio service feeds

- By Hayley Tsukayama

IF YOU’RE a podcast addict but want a little more function from your app, consider Stitcher - a sort of personalis­ed radio service that lets you make playlists of your podcasts and feeds you recommenda­tions based on the shows to which you’re already listening.

You can search for podcasts and add them to your favourites playlist. Users can also reorder the podcasts based on the order in which you want to listen to them. So if you’d rather skip your news podcasts in favour of some comedy (or vice versa) you can set the app up to do that.

There is a premium version of Stitcher, which lets you ditch ads and gives access to premium content, which costs US$5 (RM22.50) a month.

But the free version should meet most people’s basic needs and give you a little more control over your podcasts. (Free, for iOS and Android.)

Fetch starts as the simple story of a boy and his dog. But it quickly changes into a puzzlefill­ed adventure that puts you on a quest to reunite them and gives you a chance to explore the game’s somewhat dystopian setting.

Not that this game is dark - if anything, it feels like playing through a Pixar movie, thanks to its cartoon aesthetic and whimsical touches. Players can tap on screens, arcade cabinets, fliers and other things around you to get informatio­n about where to go and what to do.

The full game costs money to unlock, but you get a pretty good taste of the game before you buy.

If you can keep yourself from getting too immersed in the story, you can play free - but it is a little hard to keep your heartstrin­gs from feeling a pull.

(Free to download, for iOS and Android; US$5 to unlock the full game.) — Washington Post
