Yes, the app is VO friendly on the iPhone but speech tends to crack-up at times. One hint is to hit the pause button in the upper left corner of the app to stop the current station if you wish to change to another one. From a pure performance perspective, I listened to this on the train here in Phoenix the other day where in general we have 5 bars the entire way. The app seems to have some problems. Music cracked and skipped a few times. I tried listening to AOL Radio on a different day and did not experience this. The point being that AOL Radio is free and you pay for XM. Sometimes free is better.
