Keep the ideas coming.

Your radio now has full game controller support, and your AirPlay reports got fixed. Thank you for every email and review, they all became fixes or features. - Full gamepad control: press Menu on a connected controller to browse and play your Favourites, My Stations, lists, genres and countries right from the pad - Make the controller yours: remap every button in Settings > Game Controller, from play/pause to Song ID - AirPlay fixed: stations that played on the iPhone but went silent on a HomePod or AirPlay speaker now play reliably - Country search fixed: type a country in your own language (Nederland, Rusland, España) and it shows up, with no wrong countries in the results - Song ID no longer gets stuck on the first identified song on stations without song info - A wide round of stability fixes across search, playback and the library

Macdio is now a bedside clock radio, with an alarm that wakes you to your favourite station. - Wake up to radio: set an alarm in Clock Mode, with Snooze and Stop right on screen - Drag to reorder your stations, or sort instantly with A-Z - Control playback with an MFi or Bluetooth game controller - Search countries in your own language, accents included - Song ID protects real album art and recognises far more stations - Lyrics sync more accurately, with auto-scroll on by default Plus a wide round of speed, stability, and polish across the whole app.

My Lists has a fresh look. Your folders now show up as colourful cards, and you can give each one its own colour and a stylish icon from a bigger, refreshed set. My Stations and Favourites now expand right where they are, just like Recently Played, so there is no extra screen to open. Recordings can run up to 6 hours, so you can capture a full show in one go. With the new "Play as One Track" option in Settings, a recorded show plays from start to finish by default. Prefer song by song? Just turn it off. You can now swipe down to close the full player. We also fixed a rare crash that could close the app in the background, polished a few small Library details, and Apple Watch now starts up more smoothly.

Fixed an issue where tapping Show All in My Stations opened the wrong list. The Full Player now dismisses with a swipe down.

Every update I ship comes from real feedback. 1.0.6 is no exception. Auto-Play on Launch is here. Turn it on in Settings and Macdio picks up right where you left off, every time you open the app. CarPlay and Apple Watch included. The app is noticeably smoother now. I went through every screen, found what was causing the lag, and fixed it. Library, Full Player, Discover, and Stats are all more fluid. The heart button no longer glitches. Lyrics open and close cleanly. Shazam now works properly end to end. When a song gets identified, the artwork and metadata reach the widget, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island straight away. You can now control how many stations appear in your Library. Set your own limits for Favourites and Recently Played in Settings. Recording playback gets skip buttons. Tap the 10-second forward or backward icons to jump within a recording, just like a podcast player. Sleep timer status now shows in the mini player bar.

v1.0.5: and this one is a big one. Macdio is now available in 14 languages. Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, and Turkish, all fully translated, not auto-generated. If this is your first time seeing Macdio in your language, welcome. Recording now works for every stream format. MP3, AAC, FLAC, HLS — if the station streams it, Macdio records it. Previously, some formats recorded as empty files. That's fixed. Recordings also now include embedded metadata: song title, artist, album, artwork, and lyrics written directly into the file. Popular Near You got smarter. Stations are now ranked by real listening activity instead of accumulated historical votes, so what you see actually reflects what people in your area are listening to right now. CarPlay now loads up to 100 stations per genre and country category. The previous limit of 20 was too tight. Phone call and Siri interruptions now resume playback reliably when the call ends, whether you're listening through the speaker, headphones, or CarPlay. Enabling iCloud Sync no longer requires a restart. It just works immediately. On Apple Watch: browsing station lists is now smoother, and listening stats load faster even with large libraries. Thank you for using Macdio. Every update makes it a little more right.

This one's for everyone who reported issues. A lot got fixed. iCloud sync is now actually working. If you use Macdio on more than one device, your favorites, lists, and saved songs will follow you. There was a silent bug breaking it for a long time it's gone. CarPlay now has a preset layout. Your favorites show up as large buttons tap one to switch stations. No more digging through menus while driving. Searching for a station and trying to favorite it was broken it would show the wrong button or just not work. Fixed. The Apple Watch library is reorganized: favorites first, then lists, recent stations, and saved songs. Scrolling is smoother too. Pull down on the list to force a sync if something's taking a while to show up. A few more things: track queue is visible in the compact player, Recently Heard tracks have a ··· menu, media keys are more reliable, volume saves between sessions, widgets don't blank out anymore. Thanks for your patience with this one.

What's new in this update: • Rebuilt media controls. Now Playing on the Lock Screen and Control Center updates properly now. No more ghost metadata hanging around when you switch stations. • Smarter iCloud sync. Favorites and saved tracks sync across devices without creating duplicates anymore. Finally. • Simplified data management. Replaced the confusing reset options with a single "Reset All Data" button.

Simplified data management one reset button, no confusion. Faster browsing if you've got a big library. You'll feel the difference.
