Since the departure of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus we have witnessed a continuous flow of update apps to new screens, almost all the apps that we use daily (except for the blatant case of WhatsApp, which is a real shame) have already been updated to our new iPhones, and of course the most popular radio application in Spain it is already available for these devices as well.
Although it worked correctly without updating, now we will not be seeing a forced expanded app, but we will see more content and we will take true advantage of the 4,7 and 5,5 inches.
What's new and performance
Although update focuses mostly in adapting to the new sizes of the screens, It should be noted that the occasion has been used to redesign some parts of the app and include small graphic novelties that give a bit of fresh air, although since iOS 7 the application had taken on a very clean air that differentiated it from other apps that provide a similar service.
Another of the improvements implemented is a Advanced player that will show us the singer and song information in the radios that have it available, which are not all for now, but this is a matter of the radios that have not implemented this improvement adapt their broadcasts to a more modern information format. It is very comfortable to be able to see what song is playing If it has caught your attention, I hope they will also implement it in the Mac app with the same name and that I also use daily.
In addition, they have also included new radios and an app optimization for iOS 8 what makes now just consume slightly less than 1% CPU, and we talk when the radio is playing, something very important since we talk about a continuous playback that has a notable impact on the iPhone battery, if you have tried the typical "official" apps of each radio you already know what we are talking about, that consume a huge amount of battery.
Another improvement is that now needs less network quality to work, so with a slow WiFi or little 3G coverage you will continue listening to the radio without interruptions. You can have all the radios together, with a clean and simple interface, favorites, local channels and even the possibility of adding your own radios.
The app is still completely free, with an in-app purchase for those who use it often that eliminates the advertising and adds some improvements such as the personalized radios or the automatic shutdown timer.
