Then check out our "Now Playing" feature to see the last 25 songs played, artist and song information. <br /><br />In addition to these great new features, we now have the Top Ten, Reviews, Featured artist and more right from the main screen of the App. Screenshot provided below.

| Do you know when it will hit the Play store? Right now, it's saying the last update was February. |

| We actually have the ability to update the App without releasing a new version. You should find the new features if you load up the App! |

I had to restart my phone in order for the new features to appear in the app. You may also be able to get the new features to appear by closing the app and restarting it. Not sure about that for sure though. |

| Great suggestion! Yes, some people may definitely need to restart their phones. And perhaps in some cases if you don't see the new features, uninstall and reinstall. Just a reminder that our now playing and request feature is only for Highlander Radio. Requests always play on Highlander Radio. Our other channels are more pure-play fixed playlists that we develop. Some interesting stats - we currently have over 1,200 installs across various platforms. Sent our first push notification out this weekend, but you can expect that we are not going to be sending out many push notifications. No one likes to receive tons of push notifications including us!  |

| Here is an example of our now playing feature on the App. Load up Highlander Radio then back to the main App menu and select Now Playing to view the current song, album artwork and a link to the artist page if you want to find out more information about the currently playing musician. Below is a quick preview of the upcoming artists and then the last 25 songs played if you are looking to figure out what song just played!  |

| I just found an old email in my spam folder regarding the app. I'm so excited about this! Not having the best access via a mobile device in the past is what kept me from listening as much as I'd like to. I also like that you can now use TuneIn to listen with Apple Car Play, as I do have an Apple Car Play radio in my car. Thank you! Thank you! |

Thank you so much! I love being able to take my music on the go. I blue tooth the station to my car's system and take Highlander Radio on road trips. I cant wait to view all the new features. (Not while driving though  ) |

I also use my bluetooth to listen to Celtic Radio while I am on the go. I am just waiting for Mazda to release a software update so that I can use android auto with my interactive touchscreen! |

| Glad to hear all of the positive responses for the App. We are definitely believing that this was a worth while investment and will continue to add new features that will add to the experience. And a big thank you for our supporters that made this happen. Without our Celtic Radio Founder Club members and our yearly funding raising event this App would not have been possible!  |
