Seriously, yes. Please just flush the 9.x app - the previous app was FINE!  I mostly cache & listen offline - it used to take mere seconds to get a two-hour block. Now the wait is interminable.  LuvU, RP.

I am a longtime subscriber. I totally agree and I'm also withholding payments until CarPlay returns. (not really a fan of the new look iPhone App either)

So this is just my curiosity but can RP "see" how many CarPlay users/sessions there are? And compare that to total streams to the app? By OS? Because if iOS app CarPlay sessions = 0.01% of total sessions, then wow they're a squeaky bunch of wheels! But if they're 20% of total streams, then that would make CarPlay more important than anyone knew.

Thank goodness. I've stopped listening in my car. It's easier to just use Amazon Music or Apple Music on the CarPlay Screen than to fool with my phone. Plus it's not safe to mess with your phone while driving.

I join the protest.
I also contributed to Radio Paradise with dollars and sweatshirts.
The argument that CarPlay is being abandoned... doesn't hold up.
In Italy, even neighborhood radio stations and intercoms have CarPlay.
For me, Radio Paradise remains number one in terms of programming.
But removing CarPlay from the app is truly marketing suicide.
Please, bring it back.

Good article on why CarPlay is an essential function for rental cars. More car renters are now requesting non GM vehicles.  Also applies to your guests using your car.

I'm sorry, but I can't really see anything to commend the new app; and the deletion of carplay is very difficult to live with. I would very much like you to revert to the old app, which worked or restore carplay functionality as before. I say this as someone who has regularly supported you for several years...

A reasonable estimate. So far, we're running at about 2.5x the high end of the reasonable estimates we started with for everything else. So if we started with a $7000 estimate, that'd put us in the same neighborhood as the numbers I pull out my butt earlier.

We'll keep listening on this, and are open to changing our minds. That definitely won't be happening during next week's bugfix & we'll continue the rollout after that.  But come January, if this is genuinely having a significant negative impact, we'll find a way to make it happen.

Not sure I want to pay money to get less functionality. 
From the app description:

“You can optionally use Shazam automatic song recognition to know what's playing.” 

I’d rather give money to Radio Paradise if they bring back CarPlay functionality. 



“You can optionally use Shazam automatic song recognition to know what's playing.”

Streams that have the metadata, like RP, show the title, artist, and album art just like normal. But also include a click through to the song in Apple Music as well. The Shazam integration is only for streams without metadata.
