CarPlay Upgrade!
I am so thankful for the upgrade of this app. I was checking at least twice a day to see if the upgrade had posted yet. It looks great on the dash in CarPlay and I can even see what song is playing on my Apple Watch. These set of stations are a big part of my daily drive and the user experience has taken a big step forward. I have not noticed any issues using the app so far.

Buggy
This review is of the app not the radio station it plays. Like the previous reviewer mentioned the app doesn't give you music info on the home screen, you can't play/pause with your headphone controls. The UI is hard to use as the buttons are under the area you use to switch apps on iPhones with Face id (most iphones any more). And the interface is poorly designed, switching radio stations, playing and pausing and so on could be all immediately available on the main interface.
Lastly the app no longer is working for me, it just won't play the radio stations 99% of the time even though the stream on the website works fine.

Great app that needs a couple UI tweaks
I love this app and theBlast.fm service. I especially love rocking in the Blastozoic era with my son.
The interface could use a couple updates though. The biggest by far is that the menu and play buttons need to be moved up away from the bottom of the screen. Half of each button is in the zone that iOS interprets as the start of a “scroll up.” It would also be nice if current song info was transmitted over Bluetooth. When listening in my car, it’s not always safe to look at my phone to see what song is playing.
