CarPlay mist live 538 na update

Was een 5 sterren app tot de laatste update. Het Live 538 kanaal op CarPlay is verdwenen. Ik moet live radio starten op de telefoon en dan neemt CarPlay het over. De Sky app werkt wel.

CarPlay problemen

Als het werkt is de app heel goed. Ik luister in het buitenland op weg naar en van werk.
Echter, met een inkomend telefoon gesprek de app stopt en kan niet meer worden geactiveerd, tenzij op je telefoon de app stopt en weer start (weg swipen)- kan je echter niet doen tijdens het rijden.

Response from developer

Hi! Bedankt voor je feedback, fijn om te horen dat je de app goed vindt! Wat betreft het probleem na een inkomend telefoongesprek: Dit probleem deed zich voor in een oudere versie, maar in de nieuwste versie is het opgelost. Mocht het alsnog voorkomen, dan kijken we er graag verder naar!

Difficulties to get the music feed

I am a big fan of radio 538 but not of this app.
I am using it from Italy with an iPhone 13 pro and it has serious problems to get the music feed every time. When i start the app i may have difficultly some feed of the standard radio 538 one, however, as soon as i select a channel, it starts buffering infinitely and feed never comes. I was hoping this problem would get fixed with time but it only got worse. It sometimes randomly work though. Now I barely listen to something on this app always buffering even though it’s up-to-date. My girlfriend in the USA experiences the same problems on her iPhone 12 pro.
Moreover, this app works on a “live streaming” principle which is not the best if someone is travelling. It’s a mobile app, people move on and off places with more or less good network signal. It better work on the “buffering principle” which means the app could anticipate some music feed (like 2 or 3 mins) to allow some permittivity and keep the constant music flow if connection is intermittent. This is the principle over which works many other radio apps. I gave it one stars now, but I am ready to change my vote in case this problem gets fixed.
