You lost me with the new app. Cut me off. Threw me out. Tossed me overboard. The new app told me I donât matter. Nor do several large RP listener base markets where IOS and CarPlay dominate the market.
Iâm missing you a lot, Please let me know when you want me back.
I know what you mean. I used the iOS app this morning and it was working OK but somehow it had logged me out of my account and I couldn't log back in. Then the songs started cutting off and skipping. Finally the app quit spontaneously.
This seems to be a rough and painful beta period...
I quite like the new app. Bunch of Luddites on here. I tried to use the rating feature but there was no slider, upon closing the rating screen the app updated and, lo and behold, a slider for rating song appeared! Nice one.
One issue I'm having (although it may be a feature now baked into the app) is it just shuts down after x amount of hours played. Not a big deal as my iPad is sat next to me but I'm wondering if that is something coded into the new app or a bug.

Where humans work -
not companies, not societies -
no capital no algorithm
changes can come from all in- and outsides.
Humans can die
All off a sudden.
That is what it means to be human. We're all fleeting.
And sometimes humans do not wish to explain themselves
cause the older ye get the boulder we all may wet.

The new app made me listen much and much less to Radio paradise.
The web interface is stlil fine, the Android seems stuck at the failure level of 9.01 with no progress on improvements. Can we have the old app back please?
It may be premature to give feedback on the new iOS app, as I know it was not intended for widespread release. However, since I inadvertently upgraded and can compare it directly to the Android app, I thought I'd provide feedback on the differences, in the hope that you will find it useful.
On start up, the Android app supports the play on launch option, and starts the previously selected channel immediately. I love this feature - one tap and I have music. In contrast the new iOS app does not remember the previously playing channel and I have to select it to start playing.
The Android app play view makes it really simple to see the current rating that I set, but does not show the RP bar chart rating, which the old iOS app shows. I like the previous iOS rating design as it made it really easy to see both my rating and the overall RP ratings.
The Android app rating interface makes it easy with a single tap to set the rating, whereas the new rating interface requires a slider - much more fiddly .
I like the new iOS app interface of swipe up to see the lyrics and the listening history.
However, I have lost the comments (which I really really enjoy - this is a serious omission!), and the 'about the artist'.
If the swipe up (or sideways) can also bring up comments and about artist, that would be a nice improvement.
This is a minor issue, but I like the orange/black branding of RP, and I'm not yet used to the purple of the new app. Probably something I can get used to, but initially I did not recognise the app icon and thought I'd lost the RP app.
This is a bug, not a design issue: the 'playing' progress bar travels beyond the 'waveform'
The new app has lost the button to select AirPlay. On iOS AirPlay is how I listen, so this is a significant inconvenience.
I've long been in the mobile app software development industry, so I know the trials and tribulations. Good luck!
Oh my, I just realized I am on version 4.11.2 gp. "Radio Paradise 2024"
Has it really been that many releases since?
Hold onto what you've got! I know there were some bugs here and there during that time, but you're much better off with the old version—avoid upgrading if at all possible. I was forced into it when I got a new phone. The thing is, I would have happily signed up to be a beta tester, left some constructive feedback, then reverted to the old version if anyone had offered that choice. But now I'm just stuck with this thing that never should have made it out of the test lab. We were promised an update last week, but haven't seen it yet. I think we all wish we could just have the previous version back in the App Store until the new app is ready for its close-up.
So I have 9.0.1 now on my phone, it updated to this. I do hope this is the placeholder app because I really don't like it. I don't like it at all. I use RP every single day and I would rather just have the old app back. I saw maybe this is a placeholder and something good will come, but overall - not thrilled. The blocky white buttons, the slide rule for the likes, even the super basic redesigned widget that doesn't match the logo - assuming and having some faith his is a temp fix placeholder.
Placeholder is a good description for the current release. It was intended to go out to 1% or 2% of you, but somehow ended up being many more than that, and is very much a work in progress. And there *will* be progress, as soon as possible. Our apologies for the premature release.

So, I donât see the app on Apple CarPlay screen if my car, but if Iâm connected by Bluetooth to my car (Audi Q5), and control the RP app from the phone itself, it plays fine over my car speakers. I even see whatâs playing on my instrument cluster where the speedometer is, but doesnât show up on the Apple CarPlay list of apps. Anyway, looking forward to fix, but at least I can play the music.
We bought a new Toyota RAV4 hybrid as probably our last car. One of the features we enjoyed most was Carplay.
I have a kind of kludgy CarPlay working in my 2020 Subaru via a USB/C connection I told you about before. Not fully CarPlay functional (channel scrolling for instance) but I get album art etc. I bought an iPhone mount that allows me to see the app channel screen & scroll from there. A compromise until the new app is out. Pretty nifty actually. If you want more info, hit me up in the real world.
Second message Iâve seen there in the past few days saying pretty much the same thing. I said a while back I trust William & company will work all this out. Keep the faith. â®ï¸

RP message from their Facebook site from 2 days ago:
âOur app is discombobulated at the moment. We will be releasing a new website and app soon. Just hold tight, itâs coming. Sorry itâs not functioning while weâre finishing up these last few parts.
Thatâs not the final product!â
This was in response to a listener comment about the new app. So hold tightâ¦.ð¤

It's very helpful to post bug reports in the bug reports topic rather than starting a new topic for your specific complaint.
While this is sure good to know for all the newcomers it would be even better for them to have a mailbox sorta thing to make it easier for them, not harder. The form of this listener-forum always has been a non-starter as topics race or flow by, depending on the number of postings made. Moving on from a past, Journals were discontinued. A forum, uhm. Yes was kept.
I'd gladly be your AI assistant on such things. Offering my advice for free here.
No structure, no visible aid. Only an apocryph search function......... which isn't exactly a
What-can-we-do-for-youâmailbox, or website button while subsisting on donations as it seems.
What's going on Bill?
Helpless, helpless, he-helpless..?
PM me, I have some ideas for you!

The new app: RP -> RIP
No response at all for weeks now by RP.
There have been responses, but not in any organized fashion. Part of that is due to the fact that posts on this subject are scattered across a dozen different topics. It's very helpful to post bug reports in the bug reports topic rather than starting a new topic for your specific complaint.
Our developer is working on a new update that should address all of the major issues — including CarPlay.
I'd like to apologize for our decision to release the new app prematurely. I regret that very much.
