Used for years & it's generally been great, but for quite a while I've had problems with casting. It doesn't offer the option to cast (turning wifi off and on again on my phone usually clears that, but sometimes I have to quit and restart the app), and it very often loses track of where in a podcast I have reached. My Google home device will have played (say) 20 minutes of a podcast, but if I start playing directly from the phone, it's only (say) 5 mins in and I have to manually find my place.

Not pretty but works most of the time - error messages tell you nothing ("stopped on error") - radio thumbnails are not normalised so are a mishmash of shapes and sizes, making the grid messy - scheduler is 12-hour clock only - scheduler described as alarm, but no fall-back alarm sound when the stream can't be opened, so not reliable I'd pay for a version that let me record, especially if it had a scheduler that could be be set in the local time of the station being recorded.

Thanks for your feedback. A fall-back alarm sounds like a good idea. Will think about that.

Excellent, worth every penny of the Pro version. I've used this app for several years now and wouldn't consider going back to any of the other better known apps. Looks good, lots of configuration options. Does everything I need to do audio ways, live streaming radio, download and play podcasts, casts to TV and Chromecast and the one time I needed customer support the developer answered and solved my issue promptly. Highly recommended.
