Ratings and reviews

Adore being able to tune in to my favourite shows at times that suit me. In that respect it treats the different shows like podcasts. If you wish to tune in live, then it is just like tuning into your personal digi radio. I find the app simple and easy to use. Love the feature of having access to the shows song lists (in order too). Very cool.

Full marks to the radio station and presenters, but the app can be improved by adding ability to fast-forward or scroll/jump to any timepoint in a downloaded show/podcast. Although the interface shows ffwd and rewind symbols, they don't work for me. I'm guessing the actual functionality is to skip to the next/prev download - I only have one, and so they both take me back to 0:00.

Yesterday afternoon (23 May 2023) the app was working fine (within the limits its idiosyncrasies), but I went out for a couple of hours and when I came back the app didn't work anymore, it would just freeze on the startup screen. I guess the app must have automatically updated while I was out. I restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app a couple of times, but it made no difference. This is on a Samsung Galaxy S9 (model SM-G960F). It still works on a Galaxy S10.
