TuneIn Pro - Radio & Sports

I don't know whether it was always like this, but when you pause a live stream for some time and then resume by unpausing, the stream continues from where it was paused from. I can see the benaffit of this, however, sometime this behaviour is not desirable. I would have thought that pressing the stop button and then play would restart the stream at the latest point. This is not the case and the only way to start the stream from the latest point is by killing the app and starting it again. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, perhaps others would like to comment. thanks.

All right, first of all, I really am not sure precisely what the Live tab is for, though it would seem that it streams live events based on selected interests. However, it seems that I am unable to select particular interests using VoiceOver. When I go to do so and double-tap on an interest, it doesn't seem to select it. Does anyone know how to select interests for the Live tab using VoiceOver?

Also, I saw a possible solution that this app's developer(s) could use to make the set alarm feature accessible. Has anyone yet actually suggested this precise fix to the app developer(s)? If not, the person who posted it in these comments, or someone who knows more about it than I do, should actually submit the idea to the app developer(s) who may really have no idea something like this exists.

As we all probably know, the so-called Search feature has always been rather limited in its abilities. Is there some other way to get to, say, a radio show's page other than through a search for it? Say, if I'm listening to All Things Considered on NPR. Can I get to the TuneIn page for All Things Considered that lists what other stations are airing it live and/or past episodes from the player page or some other way? Also, what about getting to category pages? Say, I'm listening to New Day on CNN Radio. The category is listed as "Morning Shows". Is there a way to get to those kinds of specific categories either directly from the player page or some other way?

What's New in Version 4.0 Posted Aug 26, 2013 New: • We're introducing an enhanced Now Playing screen experience. Simply swipe up or down on the Now Playing screen to see Recommendations and Recents. Improved: • We've improved Facebook sign-on. Tap just once to connect your TuneIn Radio account to Facebook. Registering for an account allows you to access your Favorites across multiple devices. • We've fixed some bugs to improve your TuneIn Radio experience. The recommendations on the now-playing screen do work, but you can't seem to swipe up and down as the description suggests. Also I'm still not able to access any kind of sleep timer, and when using VoiceOver, the audio is still choppy. Another interesting thing...on the now playing screen there is a button that says iPhone volume button. If you double-tap this button, it seems to mute VoiceOver, so be careful. If you double-tap the button again VoiceOver comes back but at a much louder level than originally so once again, keep this in mind when upgrading, if you choose to do so. I wasn't really impressed with the update, but others might find it of some use. I do think I'll be sticking with the other internet radio apps I use like Oo Tunes, which is in bad need of an update, and SHOUTcast radio, which gets updated regularly.

It is a shame that the alarm used to be accessible many versions ago but, after some change by the developer, it has not been accessible using VoiceOver since. This is despite notes from many VoiceOver users to the developer. Maybe they need a few more complaints from the blindness community. Otherwise this is a nice app (even if the interface is a bit confusing - they tried to pack a lot in). --Pete

Ever since upgradimg to iOS 7, I have been unable to refresh content using the three-finger swipe down in this and many other apps. How does one refresh content in the TuneIn Radio Pro app in iOS 7?

this app was suggested to me by a friend. I would also suggest it to other voiceover users.

it's a year that alarm clock has become inaccessible on tune in radio It's a year that we are writing to support and they sometimes tell us it is going to be fixed. To me, at least. I am looking for an app with radio alarm clock i hope Ootunes fits my needs if so, I'll say "tune in radio ciao ciao"

hello, I am using tune in radio pro for basic listening too, but this does not hide frustration for inaccessibility issues and does not prevent me from continuing to ask developers to improve it even running the risk to "stalk" them. I am a customer and i want to be respected as such. Luckily we are free to choose, for now; nothing prevents us from having 2, or 3, or more, alternatives installed and choose one or the other according to our needs.

i understood your post to say that the recording time could be set. How do you set the recording time in advance for a weekly program, e.g. Saturdays from 8:00 to 10:00 pm? Is this information somewhere on the website or in a podcast? ?

I apologize if this question was already answered in the previous posts, but does tune in radio pro does away with those really annoying adds that force the ap to refresh to display a new add?

Folks, How can I schedule a recording time in tunein radio? In the options screen a timer to decide howlong should the recording least is accessible, but I have not found a way of scheduling the recording to start sometime in the future. Thanks, Marlon

Version 6.0 of TuneIn Radio Pro was posted today. Here's a list of what's new from the App store, followed by my comments:

- Updated look and feel
- TuneIn suggests stations, shows and categories to follow based on your interests
- Your past favorites are now the stations/shows you are following. You can find this in your Profile tab.
- Your personalized feed brings you live updates from the stations, shows and people you follow
- Use the Explore page to discover great new stations and shows to follow
- The TuneIn Echo lets you share what you’re listening to with your friends and followers
- Create your own profile so that your friends can follow you and what you are following on TuneIn

This new version seems fairly accessible, at least when it comes to selecting a station from what used to be the Favorites screen. Unfortunately, none of the stations I've tried will play, even after a few minutes of waiting. Thinking I had to press a Play button or something, I searched the screen, but so far haven't found anything. The Options screen where you could choose an alternative stream also appears to be missing.
I don't know if there's something I have to do to get stations to play, but at the moment, I wouldn't recommend getting this update.

If you want to keep using this app do not update to the latest version, as I have not been able to get any of my favorite stations to play. This is pathetic on the developers part as they have been aware of VoiceOver for a very long time. What a joke, if I wanted to follow a radio station on Twitter I would do so using Twitter, now when you click on a station instead of playing you are taken to the stations twitter page. This app used to be great, but now it is worthless, and considering I paid for it, it will quickly be making its way off my iPhone as I believe there is another radio app that is much more accessible.

Still probably getting booted from my phone. To get a station to play from your favorites, click on it which takes you to the annoying Twitter page. Triple click VO off, tap the screen and the station will start playing you can then toggle VO back on with a triple click. At least my stations will play but this is still idiotic and not something I would expect from a developer that is well aware of VO

Hi! When I first updated to version 6.0 of TuneIn Radio Pro I also thought it was impossible to get stations to play, but since then I have done some experimenting and found two methods of doing so: these work for stations in my favourites, or under Following in the Profile tab in this new version. The first is the method described above, where you double-tap the name of the station in the list in your Profile tab, then double-tap the name again on the next screen to get the Now Playing screen to open. The other is using the Home tab, and needs less steps: the Home tab, in which you can see what is currently being broadcast on the stations in your favourites, takes a while to refresh, but when it does, swipe or scroll till you find the station you want, then swipe to the Play button and double-tap that, then the Now Pklaying screen will open as before. For those who want options, I've seen an Options button on the Now Playing screen, but I haven't double-tapped it to explore the options, as I don't use them myself.

Your correct. It is not inaccessible. The accessibility of this particular version is nice. That said, I don't like the extra step of having to tap somewhere else in the window to get the station to play. Thank you for the tip though.

I've gotten it to work, but I'm sorry guys it's just not very intuitive. If I double-tap a station's name with VoiceOver enabled I expect to hear that station just start playing, I shouldn't have to tap on it's name twice. I know they're aware of what VoiceOver is, but I don't think accessibility with VoiceOver is a priority. I've got the app and can make it work, but it's clunky.

I would normally agree with you about writing to developers about accessibility issues. In this case, I'm less inclined to suggest that. Tune In has a long history of ignoring things they break. Perhaps you missed the whole Hall of Fame thing. Despite promises to fix things, some functions that once worked, have been broken for a verylong time and through many updates. In this specific case, I think we are probably better served by helping each other work through the issues, rather than trying to get the developers to fix things.
