DAB-Z Customer Insights

1. One thing that would make the app perfect is a homescreen/dashboard widget.Great App, And When It Works Well It Works Really Well, I Have Noticed An Odd Issue Some Stations Play (Real Slow, Almost Like A Retro Talk-Boy), Only Some Stations, While Signal Is Good Ect, With No Real Idea What The Issue Is 🤷, (UK Based), Would Like To Be Able To Notch The Text Down Abit As Its Right At The Very Top Of The Screen, But Once This (Slow Playing Issue Has Been Fixed, Definitely worth a 5*)App has been working quite OK in my Mekede Android 9.0 car radio, although reception was not very good with the windshield antenna.

2. Thank you XDA forum... seems not the only one.....:-) Local Radio (UK) sometimes plays in slow motion to resolve it you need to change stations sometimes just once or multiple times to get correct playback speed.I've just installed on my android car radio, it scanned but only picked up the Nottingham stations which were around 9, its got a lovely layout and I can use my steering wheel controls to change the stations, the reception isn't to bad.

3. (Have aentena on windscreen, Android version 8) On one of the others, (Android 9) I have an external aerial, connected to the net via Wi-Fi, and have No Logo's even after waiting over an hour...(Australia) Can you shed any light to these problems...UK user, same issue as Tezz review, Occasionally audio is distorted, like the music is sloooowed right down, could this be looked into please ? Seems to happen with Local Multiplexes, ok on National DAB , will update review to give more info as I get it.

4. However, the reception of the other stations was better than ever before! Based on the feedback of Adam Atkinson I unchecked Omri support and did a rescan... All the stations appeared again! I do hope reception will stay as good without Omri, it would greatly improve the benefit of DAB+Have installed on several Erisin Android devices.

5. What really impressed me today was that BBC Radio 5 was suddenly having problems with sound with all voices sounding like hamsters breathing Helium, got home and in the driveway the head unit connected to my home WiFi and updated this app which fixed the issue, brilliant support.

6. Something I meant to say is how great it is to not have endless confirmation popups every time you start this app - in contrast to the Xtrons one and how it starts when you start the car which has to be a valuable safety improvement because you aren't fiddling with the screen.Installed on an Atoto S8 premium with an Xtrons usb stick and windscreen antenna.

7. Any BBC national station plays for about a minute, then stops and then the whole app shuts down, even when signal is strong and other non BBC stations work fine, so I think the problem is with the app rather than the hardware.

8. Nav instructions still work, radio still works but the map doesn't update and you can't switch stations.

9. One enhancement that would be good is a better way of flicking through the channels, I only get 6 channels per page on my Pumpkin headunit, so lots of scrolling down for around 80 channels, while there is a big logo taking up a third of the screen.

10. Maybe multiple columns, or horizontal text, which you swipe side to side.Amazing app, like getting a new uprated head unit compared to the default XTRONS app.

11. Strangely enough, the public stations (like Radio 2 & 4 here in NL) did not appear in the list.
