Broadcastr is an app for iPhone and Android that creates intimate and immersive experiences by unlocking pictures and audio relevant to where you are. It turns your smartphone into a multimedia guide to the world, and everyone can contribute.

Go exploring with Broadcastr and you’ll find memories, insights, and enriching information about eclectic and everyday places on every continent on Earth. Take a walk while stories about your surroundings stream automatically to your phone. A celebrity chef whispers in your ear as you stroll past his favorite restaurant; a renowned architect guides you through lower Manhattan; a comedian shares a hilarious personal anecdote at her favorite bar. Your movement through the world becomes your search query. Download the app. Take a walk.

Our partners include History channel, The Sept 11 Memorial & Museum, Fodor’s travel guides, Simon & Schuster, and Audible.com, and more.

Broadcastr is currently in beta. This means we want to hear your feedback. Tell us what’s working and what’s not at [email protected]

The Broadcastr Voice Recorder component uses the flash-kikko project by Diagne Cyril, which is an Actionscript adaptation of Gabriel Bouvigne’s Shine MP3 encoding library created using Adobe Alchemy. The library is distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL. Broadcastr also uses Maxmind’s GeoIP JavaScript webservice.
