Snowtape for iPhone Improved
I am happy to announce that the Apple review team just approved the update of Snowtape Phone 1.1. It is available for download and for update on the App Store. We listened to our customers and added lots of new features! I just want to highlight some of the most wanted:
More than 2300 Radio Stations
A lot of our customers wanted to listen to their local radio station. Obviously this was a demand we weren‘t able to foresee when we released version 1.0. So we limited the initial version to the most compatible and best radio stations we knew. However we now know that local radio stations are very important when it comes to listening radio at all. So we added all radio stations we currently have in our directory that use MP3 or AAC as their streaming format. Windows Media streams are not available at this time, but we are working on it.
Pimped Radio Directory
In addition to adding more and more radio stations, it was also necessary to give you more flexibility to browse the online directory to better find what you are looking for. So we added country lists, our Top 100 station list and a text search. Of cause not all radio stations are submitting title information, which is needed to automatically cut the recordings. Therefore we had to add an option to manually split a recording. You can do this by tapping on the small scissors icon in the right lower corner. And if you don‘t want to record at all, you can even disable it alltogether.
Manage your Favorites
Also a much requested feature was to mark a radio station as favorite. You can do this by tapping the star icon in the lower right corner of the radio view when listening to a radio station. Favorite radio stations are stored in a category called „Favorite stations“. You can also add your own radio station (assuming it‘s compatible with Snowtape) as a favorite by entering a URL to a stream or to a playlist file.
Update now and please give us a little hug in the App Store review section! More info on the new features here.
