### 1/5 — Ettore

*2023-04-23, version 1.1.0*

This app update on when you find out that you like it will play the next day. It will not play again. Is that any easy way to delete the radio app as you search for it it does make you find it. Could you please sort out the problems I need a major update. Thank you

### 4/5 — So Far So Good

*2022-09-26, version 1.1.0*

So far I found my favourite radio stations which is a vast improvement on most internet radio apps, a couple of suggestions, would rather have a logo rather then a picture of a girl with headphones a bit annoying, also on the search remove the country button the last thing I want to do is listen to boring UK radio stations. Would it be possible to use apple cloud to sink devices for your favourite radio stations. Has the making of a great radio app. Not tried mobile yet will update when I do. Thanks
Update - works well buffer perfect when moving from Wi-Fi to the phone network and back again, forgot to mention like the add station option will try that later.

### 5/5 — Radio App
