new: I no longer expect devs to get this right, beyond their ability. old: app still unpredictable in a flagship phone. without a cast function, app is limited to bt or phone speaker. old review:This app is extremly slugish to the point of unusability, even with my high end phone. Just simply cutting and pasting a link gave me random delayed results and at one point two edit boxes. The playback restarting, jumping and double playing commercials is annoying.
