I think I'll hold off for now.

the app works on my iphone but not on my blackberry tour 9630. The blackberry gives error messages like crazy and sometimes has to be rebooted when i try to launch the blackberry version of the app.

I had the skipping problem on my Droid the other day, but changed channels and it went away. A little annoying, but I am running a rooted rom, so there could have been a bunch of reasons why it is malfunctioning, including the fact that the Droid is OC'd.

Maybe this is just a channel 197/202 issue, but seeing as that is the channel I listen to most on the app, it is still a problem.

I'm having the same problem. I've noticed that when I start out, the loop is a few minutes, and gets shorter and shorter. This is a serious sirius problem. Unless they fix it ... and I haven't a clue as to whether or not they are even aware of it, the app is useless.

I reinstalled the app and I still had the issue. The app is now basically useless to me as well. I don't think there's much that can be done to remedy this since it very much feels like a problem with the app itself. All I'd suggest is let Sirius know of the problem by calling and emailing them. Hopefully if they get enough complaints they'll move on it.

I've been using the app since I got my Evo in early June. I use is almost daily at my office in Charlotte over 3G, and never had any problems that I can recall. Works very nice on the Evo.

iPhone app update just came today that allows backgrounding. Tried it and it works

Well, I'm going to have to give it a try.

I was sitting in Johns Hopkins the other day with my son, wondering how bad traffic would be getting back home, so when should I leave, etc etc. Then I thought I've gone thru this how many times before? CLICK.

So I'll dl it tonight.

Anybody know exactly what I'll need to provide to get it going? I have Sirius (standard, not premium) on my company car, a Jetta. Is there some number I need to get out of that radio to enter? I've never set up Sirius for anything away from the car. Maybe I should do the iPhone (3GS) and my work & home PCs.

I don't think the app has their traffic stations on it. You're better off just using traffic.com's mobile site.
