Very Dodgy Media Playback

Seeking by small amounts, using Siri to control playback, or resuming reliably after pausing using headphone controls are basically broken; if you're looking to play media, don't be expecting to control it much. Strangely, similar comments apply to the Mac version. The client works well enough as an interface, but it's not clear to me why you would use it over the web interface for most of the text content; you really only want this app for media playback. Please fix.

Good app but disappointed

A friend recomonded Sero to me. It was easy to create an account and access content during the free trile. However, when it comes to getting the subscription it will not let me complete payment, through ITunes. So thanks. I will be going back to using audiovault again.
