Landscape support removed in this update. Tablet users may want to stick with old version.

I really want to like this app but i find it very difficult to use. Very sluggish on a Moto Atrix 4g and seems to hang frequently. Audio quality can be iffy with occasional skips like that of an old LP. Hopefully an update will fix it. If there were an alternative i would use it.

I cannot access Morning Edition stories while it is "on air". The old app version let me add stories to a playlist while the program was still on the air. Not all stories are available to listen from the day's program.

Like it, but... ... how the heck do you close this app??? I have Advanced Task Killer & although it disappears from there, it still shows up as running. So it's a bit of a battery drainer. Anyone figured out how to close it (short of uninstalling, that is)?

Permissions? So sad. Why do you need those permissions.
