I may miss a program from my favorites and would love to see if it is playing somewhere else so I don't have to wait until the podcast is available.

I was able to listen to an NPR story while I opened other APPs. (AP for example) -- just like listening to iPod! (Perhaps because NPR Mobile sends us to Safari to listen to the story?) If "Mobile" can do this, why can't "Tuner"? I do love this APP. I carry my iPhone with me all morning while I perform mindless household tasks. Rehka:

First: Background! I need to play mindless games or search the web or check out written news APPs while listening to "Tuner." Second: Phone & voicemail don't work when I'm tuned into "Tuner." Not even a record of missed calls. PLEASE fix these two issues. Two requests. First: Background!

I listen on my bicycle, so I'm moving between cell sites - slowly. Maybe others are hitting limitations of their coverage area, and available streams from their NPR station? Thanks for an app!

We would love to be able to add that functionality, but right now it’s not allowed. Deepak, Mark, and Phoebe J:

Looking forward to version 2! I second the request to background the app. It would be great to listen to NPR while doing other things on the phone. Great app, kudos to the dev team.
