I don't like the new one quite as well yet. I played with it on my wife's phone, but kept mine at the previous version for now.
When you bring up the channels, and this applies with categories as well, they are displayed in a vertical row in the center of the screen. You can double-tap to open up that category or to start playing a channel. In this respect, the new app is nice because it starts playing immediately and it doesn't appear to have the lag time the older version had. The other point is you get the channel names, whereas on the older version I think you got the name of the song and you had to guess at the channel. But, I had a couple instances when trying to flick up to bring the next page of channels into view when the app crashed. You can't have categories on the phone and navigate by heading to look at the channels in each category. And, you can't flick to get to the channels, you have to touch the one you want in the vertical row.

The first is channels where you can select channels to listen to and pick from categories. When you are on the channels screen there is also a button for on-demand too. Then there is the recent button which I believe tells you what you've most recently been listening to. Then there is the search button where you can search for a channel or show. Then there is the me which gives you settings and such. Then there is favorites and on the favorites you can choose between channels or shows. I love this new app. It's different than the old one but I think a lot better. The only little problem I have run into is when you select the channels tab it's hard to swipe through channels Also when you select favorites and press the channels button it's hard to swipe through your favorite channels. But, when you select favorites and shows you can swipe through those fine. Other than that little issue with swiping through the channels it's totally accessible to me. Hope that helps!
