Ratings and reviews

The description of the app suggests you can listen to the radio. I am looking for an app on my phone to listen to FM for war preparation. However, internet is always required for me (wifi or mobile). You don't listen to FM radio, you listen to the same broadcast over the internet. This defeats the purpose of the app for me. Why would I not use NPO start instead? Or if the functionality isn't in NPO start, then why split functionality up in different apps?

A lot of content. Had to search everywhere in the app for the 'wachtrij' / queue and gave up. Only later I saw that it is located on the player screen. Would be great if the 'wachtrij' is also shown under 'Mijn luister' where I expected it. Because, why would I need to start playing any random podcast first before I can access the podcasts I want to listen and put in my todo list?

I'm removing the app. AGAIN my wife has been woken up during the night because you cannot implement HEADSET/EARPHONES OFF=SOUND OFF. Instead, the sound suddenly starts blaring from the speaker phone if I switch of my ear phones. Very bad design. Also two minor points: a) restart the sound if I restart the timer b) do a fade out instead of a cut off when the timer expires.
