Ratings and reviews

I love that I can get SomaFM on a mobile device. I like the design very much. But I am amending my review to report that a) it doesn't stop playing when you pull the cord or turn off the BT device like all other music players do and b) it can become nonresponsive while playing and I have no way to kill it. I have ver 1.8.1. Update. Uninstalled. I can't have a music app that won't pause or close.

I've been listening to SomaFM since 2006 and am so happy they've kept it going and current with technology. I used to have an iOS device and the Soma app worked very well. Android had no official app at first, but now we have this one, which is great with one exception. The stream stops after a few minutes while connected via Bluetooth with the screen locked. I have to unlock the screen to get the stream working again.

I love SomaFM, and this app makes it super easy to take it with me away from my computer. My only quibble about it is how the currently playing information displays in my car: the current station is displayed where my car wants the song title, the artist and title are cramped into the artist field and I can't really read it when driving because I'd have to wait for it to decide to scroll and that's infrequent enough I can't keep my eyes off the road long enough to wait for.

What’s new

* Bugfix: tightened hardware requirement checks for visualization
* Bugfix: clicking on channel from genre group results in gray screen
