Used to be awesome now it's just broken. Won't even launch, now it launches but the latest update made it even more unworkable, it's a confusing jumble of nonsense, the radio station are all gone and replaced with talk shows and podcasts, the ability to just choose a station and cast it to a speaker has gone. What a shame.

The old app eventually got all the bugs sorted but this new one has reintroduced them.Keeps stopping.You have to open the app to get it going again which is not a safe option when driving.It no longer displays the song and artist in the car.Please give me the option to use the old app while you get this new one up to an acceptable standard.Latest update made no difference. I'd like to open rova and have it go to my favourite station by itself and play every time I start the car like it used to.

EDIT : I can use the app again! Thanks for the quick fix, devs! 💙 A great app with some great stations (if you haven't given The Rock a try, I highly recommend you do!) but recently, I haven't been able to scroll or tap on anything after logging in. The app just doesn't respond. I'd appreciate a fix!
