  Pros

  You can easily listen to the show and past week shows as well.

  Cons

  Doesnt automatically d/l last show. Cant access shows archive. No multitasking so you can listen in background while doing other things with your phone Way too easy to delete ALL saved shows. Downloads not reliable, no way to recover if it fails.

  Summary

  This app is really frustrating. I have been a Streamlink subscriber since its inception. In fact it was my discussions with Art Bell back in 1995 that led to the existence of the streamed show. It is the only app available and it is nicer than downloading and syncing the shows on your ipod. The problem is this app has not been updated since it came out and has many missing functions that we expect these days. Another thing is the app is very buggy. It starts up reliably maybe once in every two or three attempts. The other times it just freezes or kicks you back out. When downloading the shows it has a button on the screen that if touched at all will delete ALL saved shows on your phone/ipod, it does not ask you if you are sure or anything, it just deletes them. The only recovery is to delete the app and reinstall it, and even then you only have the ability to download the last 7 days worth of shows. Every thing else you had is permanently lost. The app does not have the ability to run in the background so you can listen to the show and still use your phone/ipod for other things. While listening to the show it is nearly impossible to maneuver to different points in time in the show. If you miss something you have to listen to a large chunk of it all over again. These things are extremely annoying, especially since I pay a lot of money every year for this service.,Come on George, Tommy, Lisa, it is time to give a little effort to this app. Please update it soon.
