Yeah, it does seem a little basic and inconsistent in this first release - for example, you can switch between list or grid view for some screens, but not all such as the categories lists. Also, being able to at least sort the lists and even select favourites would be welcome additions.

I’d like to know why radio stations from Colombia and Ghana are listed under “Popular in Your Area.”

Lots of expat Colombians and Ghanaians in Tokyo maybe?

I was going to ask about the reverse.

There are zillions of Japanese and also people of Japanese descent in Brazil, for example.

Wiim Radio: first I had the favorites listed under the TuneIn and vTuner favorites, then suddenly they only are visible in Wiim Radio in the browse tab.

Thanks, I'm not seeing that. I briefly had a row of blank icons under WiiM Radio of the Favourites page, but after failing to populate them, that info disappeared. My Tunein and vTuner favourites still appear both on the favourites page and under their own service. Some teething problems I think

Just now they appear again on the Favorites Page .....

Edit: and gone again.

Is this what you're referring to?

 

[Kees]

@Wiimer, yes. Sometimes they show, sometimes not. Unpredictable to me.

It seems to disappear when you close the app. Swipe down on the Favorites screen to refresh it, and it will reappear.

Indeed, refreshing does the trick.

I just get a page, flash by with something on it then I just see the page below. No sign of any radio stations. Not a fan of radio as it happens so I don't think I'll bother with a ticket.
