Sehr enttäuschende App

Es ist unmöglich, die Shows der vergangenen Tage zu hören. Die neue Anwendung ist verwirrend und überhaupt nicht für Konzertliebhaber gedacht.

International streaming

Keine Verbindung zu TuneIn, Google Cast kompliziert, keine Verbindung zu einigen Sonos Geräten. Kann HR Info leider nicht mehr richtig hören. Ein klarer Rückschritt

Too distracting

I don’t like having to have yet another app for radio. I liked it better through the radio station general app where it was just a screen with the logo. The constantly updating screen with song titles and album covers or the radio presenters is very distracting while driving in Car Play.

Support fir Apple warch

Damit die App wirklich funktioniert ist es meiner Ansicht nach notwendig das diese App auch on Apple Watch works.
