"Apple has confirmed its acquisition of Concept.io, the company behind the Swell talk radio app, as noted by 9to5Mac.\r\nWord\u00A0of the deal leaked out earlier this week in reports from Recode and The Wall Street Journal. The Journal reporter\u00A0Daisuke Wakabayashi\u00A0tweeted out confirmation after receiving Apple\u2019s boilerplate statement for small acquisitions.\r\n\u00A0 \u00A0 \u00A0\r\nThe Swell website notes that the service is no longer available, and the app has been pulled from the App Store.\r\nSwell was a delightful app that used learning algorithms to serve up podcasts and talk radio. While it\u2019s sad to see the app go, hopefully Apple will use Swell\u2019s technology and team to improve its inferior Podcasts app.\r\n\u27A4 Apple confirms acquisition of Swell as website and app shut down [9to5Mac]"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
