Feeling the Love at 1.5 Million Downloads

Posted: May 8th, 2009 | Author: Rekha from Public Radio Player | Filed under: Public Radio Tuner, Version 1.2, Version 2.0 | 6 Comments »

The Public Radio Tuner has been downloaded 1.5 million times. Thanks to those of you who helped get us here by spreading the word! But we’re not done yet. We want to be on every iPhone and iPod Touch out there (who wouldn’t?). You can help by joining our Facebook group, twittering about the app, and, of course, simply TALKING about the Tuner with your real-world friends. Given the interesting tug-of-war happening in the iTunes reviews, you might be tempted to participate there, too.

In the meantime, we’re making great progress on Version 2.0: The Public Radio Player. Designed with your input. Coming out in June 2009.

    That would be cool if you guys added local, not international channels.

    Michael and James Hepler: We appreciate the feedback and are investigating the streaming problems. Hang in there for a major release in June!

    Melissa: Apple prevents third-party apps (e.g. the Tuner) from running in the background. We’d love that, too.

    It would be GREAT if this app would run in the background! Love public radio regardless!

    How can I get the original version back. It would automatically recieve the local station without my needing to look for the now non listed station. All that is availble are news station from Portland and the Seattle area that have “too much bandwidth” and then immediatly drop out. The stafion is sponsored by the” Washington State University” located in
    Pullman Wa.
    Thank you

    I am a trucker, so I was really exited about the new version. Unfortunately the streaming problems seem worse than ever. I will keep listning and supporting public radio, but I hope the fix is coming soon.
