As I mentioned yesterday, an iOS4 specific update for Aha Radio was submitted to the App Store for approval, and I’m pleased to report that the updated version is NOW AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD!
Just a quick reminder on what’s new.
- Background audio playback: keep listening to your favorite podcasts even after exiting the app (iOS 4.0 only). This release includes the fix for audio playback with iOS 4.0.
- For users without unlimited data plans, added a data usage tracker and the ability to reduce bandwidth consumption for podcast content within SETTINGS.
- App icon replaced with hi-res version.
- Other bug fixes and minor enhancements.
What all that means is that you can keep listening to your podcast stations, even after you exit the app. Also, if you have opted for the lowest data plan (200MBs) and are worried about your data usage, you can now keep track of it from within the SETTINGS area. There is also an optional setting to reduce consumption, but if you aren’t on the tiny plan we don’t recommend changing it. You’ll find that some of the rewind/resume options won’t work.
And of course, for those of you enjoying the new Retina Display, we’ve updated the app icon with a hi-res version.
Hope you all enjoy!

As just about all iPhone owners are aware, Apple released a major iOS update to coincide with the release of the new iPhone4. We tested against it with the SDK, but a playback issue snuck by us and some users have probably noticed that non-podcast content is getting cut off early. If you are still on iOS 3, or only listen to podcast stations, you have not been impacted.
I’m excited to report that we’ve submitted an update to the App Store for review, and not only does it resolve the playback issue, but it makes Aha Radio fully compatible with iOS4. Hello fast app switching and background audio!!! Once the update hits you’ll be able to continue listening to your podcast stations even after you exit the app. And don’t worry, we’ve made sure to streamline the background processes so that you don’t have to worry about it sapping your battery.
Stay tuned and be on the lookout for the little update badge on your App Store app.
