I downloaded this app because I wanted an all-in-one app to listen to radio and podcasts. It’s great in that regard. Its execution leaves a lot to be desired. The UI is cluttered and chaotic. It’s hard to find what I want and hard to come back to things that I’ve saved. Especially when using it through Apple CarPlay. It all needs to be tidied up and simplified. It doesn’t give me an option to choose which page the app opens to by default. I would like it to open my library first so I can listen to the things I’ve chosen. Other apps do this. My biggest annoyance is the queue. I’d add several podcast episodes to the queue and leave the app. When I come back after several hours, the queue has disappeared or completely changed with episodes I didn’t choose. I have had to stop the car and use my phone to add the episodes back to the queue, with the knowledge that it’s just temporary. It’s very inconvenient and dangerous when driving. It also “forgets” what episodes I’ve listened to so it replays the same one over again. Yet another time I need to stop the car and find the correct episode. All this can’t be done on the CarPlay screen because there is zero options. Nothing is intuitive or easy, which is a shame because it has a lot of good features. I’ll stick it out for a while to see if any updates fix these issues otherwise I’ll have to find another app. If any devs need more info, I’ll happily provide it.

Thanks for trying but the issue of not being able to skip stations has not been addressed correctly. I have multiple Bluetooth speakers around my house, garden and car. All had the capacity to skip until version 4.1 but now none will skip even with update 4.2 Including my car kit. Still no good ☹️ I have UE Boom, UE Boom 2 and UE Boom 3. Also BC20 Car Kit which is the most important for skipping music stations. Also used to be able to skip on IPhone lock screen but since version 4.1 and now 4.2 the << & >> buttons are greyed out so you now need to unlock you phone to change stations. Please put it back the way it was. Just hooked up to a Car Play and YES skip works. Also works on Lock Screen and Bluetooth for a while after disconnecting from Car Play but sadly stops working if you dare to open any other media app. 🤔 “YES” At last I can easily skip between stations again. Thank you for update 4.5, its great 🥳 Hi again, Would be great if I could lock my favourites into position so I could organise them in the order my of preference.
