Hi there can you
The clear channel stations are not available to those using tunein outside
the u.s. The frustrating thing is that you can't even listen to them using a
desktop computer unless I can figure out how to trick their website to think
that I am in the u.s instead of canada. I don't know why clear
I also wonder what happened to voicebook as well. Now that facebook is such
a pain in the *** to use it would be nice to have an alternative for reading
and replying to my news feeds and to be able to access my friend's pages for
writing messages on their walls.

My only reason for running itunes is for backup purposes since I mostly use

I too discovered some accessibility issues with tuneIn pro on the iPad. I
needed to label some unlabeled buttons in the play window and label the
settings button on the home screen. Now it's working fine though I haven't

I installed 6.0 yesterday and have had 24 hours to play with it. Something I
really like in this OS is that apple took the Bluetooth toggle switch and
put it near the top with the wireless switch which will make it easier to
flick it on and off. It never really belonged under the general tab.
How does this app do for data usage? Do you have to be connected to a tower,
or can you use this app in stand alone mode like humanware's trekker breeze?
