Version 1.5: is an upgrade release that enhances functionality within the application.
- Sound Engine: The sound engine was completely rewritten with a standard and an advanced mode. In advanced mode, podcasts can played at up to 2x their normal speed (depending on the device type). This requires a fast device so it is an option to users and not forced (the standard engine is the default). Should any users experience problems in the advanced mode they can simply choose the standard mode in their user settings and still fully enjoy the programs.
- Wider Android device support and detection: More users should be able to access and use the application now from any device they choose. For Android where there are thousands of possible devices, should anyone experience problems simply send your device information to customer support and we will add support for it through update cycles.
- Native modal alerts added: Users are warned of low memory situations, when hard drive space is limited or when the application needs to inform users or confirm things like podcast deletion or logging in/out.
- Improved chapter functionality and targeting when selecting a different chapter from the chapter list.
- Chapter icons have been added to the chapter list.
- Improved list handling: Lists now load and reload much faster.
- Screen view transitions and navigation changes are much faster and more responsive.
- Improved member handling and security.
- When deleting podcasts users are now asked to confirm the deletion.
- Improved download and podcast buffering speeds.
Version 1.6
Several bug fixes and additional features:
Resolution: If connectivity was lost momentarily during podcast streaming, play was halted. Player will now continue to play what is buffered and resume streaming when connectivity is reestablished.
Resolution: In cases where a user loses total connectivity during a download, the application will attempt to recover and resume any broken downloads which may have been in progress when the connectivity was lost.
Added: Improved support tools - Double tapping the logo on the Today's Program screen, users are shown a list of their device details as reported by their device to our application. Member services can request users initiate this panel if they need the details to help troubleshoot potential problems.
Added: Users are can email the Member Services team right from the application to allow them to report problems. This feature also sends the user's device details as part of this email.
Added: Download option added to Today’s Program screen making it simpler to download on demand when opening the App

Great content but the app is junk. I have to force stop and reinstall pretty much weekly. This app is an embarrassment to World. Again, when it works I love the content.

Love the content! App needs work. Resets any time I get a notification while listening. Then I have to reload the podcast and try to figure out where I was in it. Annoying, as I typically listen while traveling and can't stop to fiddle with it.

I don't know if I have an account or not and am unable to get into the app to find out. There seems to be neither a password retrieval link nor a link to create an account, so if you don't already have an account and know your password this app is useless.

Really? This app includes a check to see if it is running on a rooted or jailbroken device and if so, it is disabled? Wow, first time I've seen that one. Have you seen the ratings? Why go out of your way to irritate more people?

Why am I getting a statement that Adobe Air is required to run this app? It was working fine before. I don't like installing apps to run other apps...to much dependence on other developers. Galaxy S4.

After downloading this I was told that I'd have to install Adobe Air. There are too many other available radio apps which don't require another installation for me to deal with this hassle. Uninstalling.

Really? Love the idea of a World app, but the feature set is poor. Can't skip ahead/back at user defined intervals, no tracking for what has been listened to, no queue for what to play, etc. Just copy the features from any good podcast app. And now it requires Adobe Air which does NOTHING but SLOW down my phone. Sorry World but I will be cancelling my subscription due to the app. Update: I am trying to use this app as listening to the podcast in regular podcast software (BeyondPod & others) does not work either due to the file format (mp4) that WorldRadio distributes the program in. Podcasts became a problem with the last upgrade of the Android OS to KitKat, but NONE of my other podcasts suffer from the same issues. The App is unstable & SLOW! It frequently freezes my phone forcing a Restart. Not every time I use the app, but every time I try to use any other app or even answer a call. Or use the back/forward controls.

Great idea but it will not let me log in. I have a Samsung S4 Mini with Android ver 4.4.2 which is above the required version. Looks like an update is already needed. .....My old password worked. Maybe you are using an old list.

Needs feature to auto download daily broadcast at a set time. Why? Waiting in my garage for app to download daily broadcast from home WiFi before departure for my commute is a waste of time. If I could set app to auto download daily segment at 4am, saves me the manual effort of having to open the app during my early morning routine. Also, app needs ability to multi-select downloads to delete rather than making user delete one file at a time.
