Great app - some features missing

Love this app compared to the last one.

Some features I think are missing:
- A rolling track list of all the songs played on a show — not just the current track playing.
- A way to favourite songs so you can find them later.

Great but please fix this one thing!

Very good app in general and user friendly except for one extremely annoying feature which seems to have been included in the last update. It’s the 3 dots at the top of the screen right above the minimise arrow. These are for splitting the screen but as they are so close to the arrow, when you press the latter to return to the main page of a programme you end up hitting the dots instead and splitting the screen. This is v poor design- please remedy!

Best radio app around

Great you can listen live or listen back to shows you have missed. Also enjoyed the podcasts lately. Easy to navigate and explore what else is there.
