Thread: Sirius/XM app reviews

.....are pretty bad for the iPhone at Apps. Anyone here actually use it? I've been scared off from trying. I have the basic, not premium, subscription on my company car.

I have it and when it works its nice, but I have been finding lately when I go to listen I get a can not connect to server error message many times.

I don't know if there is a probelm or if its just a problem on my end.

Scott has it pegged. "When it works, it's nice"

I've had a couple issues lately after upgrading to OS4 with streaming but it's not just Siri/XM. The pandora app also has problems now. (at least on my phone)

I haven't had any issues. Occasionally it would require me to sign back in, but that was before the update and only occurred twice since it came out.

I am just waiting for the newest SiriusXM App update for iOS4 that will allow backgrounding.

I am with Dodger King. Not an issue with my iTouch or Motorola Droid. I just moved from Sirius online only to the Xmp3i and Added on Online. Everything on both services worked fine.

It's not very consistent on my Nexus One. Ironically, it plays better on 3G than it does on my WiFi, but I think that may be WiFi issues with the phone as opposed to the app. Still, it does come in handy when I have to use a car that doesn't have Sirius XM in it since I can just plug it in to the tape deck/input, as opposed to bringing my entire car kit to the new car.

Update: Since upgrading to FroYo, the app has taken a bit of a nose dive. While it used to run quite well on my 3G, now it is doing this annoying thing where the audio will get caught in loops, where it will be playing normally then trip up and start playing a particular part over and over again. 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 have been using Froyo for a month, and Sirius XM has been great on my Droid. We used it for probably 8 or 9 hours on the trip to Florida. It doesn't like multi-tasking much (particularly if you just have one bar of service), but I ran it for 3 hours straight one day (phone was on the ac charger); it did not even heat up much.

Now if they would just get rid of the male enhancement commercials that they run over and over again.

I had the audio loop problem once, come to think of it. But we were in Alabama, and the cell service wasn't great. I wasn't sure if it was just a connectivity issue or if it was a particular channel. I remember we were using Blue Collar Comedy when it happened, and we just switched to a different channel and the problem went away.
