Hi.
I have enjoyed Newsbeat, however most of the time it does not work.
I suspect it has something to do with the fact I travel to different buildings and loose connection to the internet or perhaps wifi has some ports blocked.
At any rate I have reinstalled the app several times.
I'm looking for an alternate app that does this "personal radio" thing.
