Works ok, with no problems.
There are no Subtitles. I understand it s radio but surely on this app, transcribe the on demand shows for deaf people as after all they can read it on the screen after it was aired live.
It's suboptimal really. I'm only using it because it was preinstalled on my Chromecast WGTV, and the content seems lacking in both diversity and quantity. Searching for a generic genre like 'jazz' produces very underwhelming results for example. Then there is the static screen on playback of audio streams which will inevitably cause image retention issues on some monitors and TVs. I can't help noticing it was last updated five months ago... which makes me wonder if it's already on some internal 'hot garbage list' and about to be canned.
