Comments

Why were the skip and favorites functions discontinued and removed? These were the features that you hyped the most when promoting your app. Now, they're gone. It would be good to have the 60s back/forward function with one click available instead of first having to go through the 3 dots. I would prefer you would move the sleep timer and sharing functions under the 3 dots instead.

I installed the app to listen to SWR3. But the stream was hard to find. The icon is grayed out giving the illusion the stream isn't available. The logic of grayed out and bright buttons is normally: bright - on, gray - off. The second stupid thing is the portrait only mode. Does not really work on a tablet with keyboard (ASUS TF201).

It seems that under Android, a list display is used where the assignment to the elements is sometimes incorrect, possibly an update issue. Sometimes a "start countdown" is also missing, so you don't know if you've tapped on it or if there's still a delay... But overall, a cool design!

I listen to SWR 3 Webradio during work here in Canada and really like using the app for it. At first, I had issues with lag—the stream kept stopping. I then switched from Touchpal (a keyboard app) to SwiftKey, and now it works wonderfully. So the problem wasn’t with the SWR 3 app at all, but with that Touchpal app, which was constantly loading intrusive ads. Greetings from Edmonton, Canada!

    Using Chromecast causes the app to crash each time. Other apps, like a generic radio app, work perfectly. No reason to stick with this one anymore.

    The update from December 23, 2015, brings a good feel. The landscape mode for tablets is still missing. It needs fixing, please! Thank you! 😇😃
