Re: Sirius app update improvements and observations

Greetings. After doing more playing with the app, I am getting used to it and am liking the new design. For instance, if you double tap the now playing info at the top, the now playing screen will open up and seems to be a lot less cluttered than the way it was before. Plus, all buttons and items are labeled. I was very pleased to find that 1 swipe after the play button was the Go Live button. On the older version, Go Live was 3 or 4 flicks right, which I found a little annoying. It wasn’t a huge issue but I still found it inconvenient that Go Live was several swipes away from other useful content. I haven’t explored everything I’m sure, and there are definitely things that could be better. For instance, I miss my nice list of favorites from the old app. Although, the new design has removed buttons after the channel name. I also miss the rewind and fast forward buttons. Those made skipping songs, particularly on the weekly countdown shows I enjoy, very convenient. It takes some getting used to, and there are still more things to work on, but I’m warming up to the new app’s design.

Happy holidays to all,

Wayne

Your method seems to be the only way to really narrow it down to the NFL teams, but it would be much better if they put them in alphabetical order.

I find the easiest way to find the list of NFL team channels is still the way I posted last week. I go into the search tab and type NFL in the search field. The team channels are the first thing to come up.

I also noticed that in the discovery tab, you can flick down by heading to get to an around the NFL section to get to other NFL related content, but it doesn’t seem to include the team channels. At the top I see several live and upcoming sections for the NBA, college football and so on. I wonder if a live and upcoming MFL section will pop up tomorrow when we have NFL games.

Note that across the top you’ll see what you last played, followed by connect to device, play and settings. Below that you’ll see the buttons for you, music, talk and podcasts, sports and so on. If you don’t see this row of buttons then you may need to tap on the go back button at the top of the page several times to get back to this page.

Hi Wayne,

I downloaded the update today and I am still confused. I am having a great difficulty getting to the NFL play by play area. I keep getting the last station played player open without playing and I cannot get rid of it, even if I close the app and restart it.

Greetings. For the Sirius/XM app users on list, there was an update today which has some accessibility enhancements. After installing the update, I found headings showed up in different places within the app, such as on the Discover tab when navigating among sections of the screen. I also found headings on screens for channels I would like to listen to. Granted, I haven’t explored all parts of the app, and it will take some experimenting but this was a welcome surprise. Especially when so many people, including me, were upset with the recent major update which changed a lot of things and brought many unlabeled buttons. Sirius is my main source for NFL games, and I like their weekly countdown shows on the 80’s and 90’s channels. I wish they gave us more of a traditional means of organizing favorites with the edit/done buttons and being able to reorder favorites with rodor actions. Oh well. Hopefully the app will continue to improve. There are a lot of things I really like about the main Sirius/XM app which one does not get from the more simplified StarPlayerX app.

Happy Holidays,

Wayne
