If you haven’t been keeping an eye on your App Store updates, you may not have noticed that our latest version of Aha Radio (v1.4) went live to the App Store this morning.

The first thing you’ll probably notice is the different look.  Over the last year we have been incrementally tweaking different aspects of the design and found that it was time to take a step back and maybe re-evaluate some of the visuals.

You should find that the important aspects of the interface are still similar, but it’s got a slightly different “skin.”  Something a little easier to see at night, and a little more contemporary.

We’ve also made some much needed tweaks to the features.  Along with some general performance upgrades, we added a 30-second rewind feature to the podcast stations.

If you need to back up it’s easy to do without even looking at the phone.  Just tap anywhere on the bottom of your iPhone screen.

Another fun change is an update to the existing auto-resume feature.  You may have already noticed that if you leave a podcast station and come back later, the app remembers where you were in the episode.

Now, if you are listening to a podcast station at the time you exit the app, the next time you launch the app you will go right back to the same station and episode…right where you left off.  This also works for the Facebook station and the Stand-Up Comedy station.

This makes it even easier (and it was pretty easy in the first place) to get back to your Aha Radio content without looking at your phone.  Just launch the app and it does the rest.

So be sure to head over to the App Store and download the updated version of Aha Radio. And if you have any feedback, or requests, you can find us on Twitter (@ahamobile), Facebook (facebook.com/AhaMobile), or GetSatisfaction/AhaMobile.
