Customer Reviews
soundcloud addition is amazing!
so cool that the music can keep playing when flip around other feeds. What a great way to discover new music and podcasts
Crashing on iPad 2
I love your app but it is crashing on iPad 2 dice the last update. Please fix ASAP.
Allow landscape viewing of videos on iPhone
There is one major annoyance with this app. Lots of news sites are embedding videos into their articles. You tap the video to play, and it opens up in the app's embedded player...BUT YOU CAN'T ROTATE IT. The video plays in portrait orientation only, which is a huge waste of space on an iPhone screen. Double tapping the screen zooms in but crops off 2/3rds off each side.
Seriously, it would not be that difficult to rotate videos to play in landscape mode on an iPhone.
