What’s new
Version 1.4.4 · Updated August 21, 2026
New in this update: - Themes: pick a whole new look for the app. Four themes — Default, Mono (pure black & white), Ocean (cool blue) and Sunset (warm amber) — each with its own light and dark variant that follows your appearance setting. Free for everyone; artwork and station logos keep their real colours. - Liked and History: select several entries — or Select All — and remove them in one go, with a confirmation first. - Audiobookshelf: starting a book from a chapter, or pressing previous on the lock screen or with media keys, no longer reports the wrong position back to your server. - Station logos: a station no longer borrows another country's logo, and the contribute screen now tells you whether the logo you see is already good enough before you send a better one. - CarPlay is now your library and nothing else: a short menu with one row per part — Radio, Podcasts, Audiobookshelf and each custom library, in the order you set on your phone — and each one opens as a page of artwork tiles. What you played last sits pinned on top for one-tap resume, and you can switch that row off in Settings. - iPad in landscape: a permanent now-playing panel beside your content, a player that leads with a much larger cover, bigger artwork on Discover and detail pages, and grids that reflow into more, smaller tiles instead of a few oversized ones. - Landscape: pages no longer slide under the now-playing panel, the floating tab bar no longer covers the last rows, and a back-to-top button appears once you are a few screens down. - Podcast details: episode search moved into the ⋯ menu instead of taking up a permanent search bar. - Video: the chevron at the top left closes fullscreen again, a video podcast fills the width in the iPad's portrait player, and audiobook covers keep their full shape. - Custom libraries: long-press menus now match the regular library — Add Latest to Up Next, Mark All as Played, Add to Up Next and station details. - Discover scrolls more smoothly and keeps its place when you rotate the device.
