Much Better

Updated on 2/18/16:

The app is working pretty smoothly with the latest update. Thanks for the 15-second rewind and fast-forward buttons. Its somewhat funny because, shortly before the update, I had discovered that the rewind button in the previous version worked as a 30-second rewind. Oops, but anyway, no problem. One beef I have now is that the controls are graphically so ugly and primitive looking. Theyre also quite tiny, especially on my old IPod touch, which I use for most of my radio listening. Also, I still wish the podcasts were simply arranged in chronological order, without all the folders.

This app is actually working pretty smoothly now. The podcast crashing problem is gone, thank goodness. These days Im mainly using it to listen to the podcasts after I download them. Im still having problems finding the podcasts, however. Sometimes the Kuiper or Krukow podcasts will end up in the Baseball News folder and sometimes they dont. Theres little consistency. I just had to go looking in the Featured Audio folder to find the Kuiper podcast. Annoying. Again, just arrange them in a list in the order they are recorded. Keep it simple! As far as listening goes, a separate button to rewind the audio 15 seconds (common in other apps) would be a great help. It would also be nice if the podcasts would start playing immediately when selected rather than needing the additional step of hitting the play button.

Old review: Well, they brag about being able to listen to the stations podcasts on the app, but it doesnt do us much good if they arent actually uploaded to the app. The last few days Ive been looking in the app for Giants-related podcasts, but they just arent there. Lo and behold, if I go to the KNBR website they are right there on the front page. Somebody is dropping the ball. Actually, it would be good if the whole folders thing in the podcast area was eliminated. Much too complicated. Just have the podcasts in a scrollable list with the most recent at the top. That a babe!

Oh, and I have the same problem that someone else mentioned about the app crashing when I delete a podcast.
