A little lost on the interface on iPad.

There is no search button. When I select Add (+), I can search, but when I select from the search results, nothing plays - it seems to add it to some list, but any controls to actually make it play are either off screen or... something.

I’d like to be able to just search & play. The background loading of multiple streams is only useful if switching a lot, but on mobile it is a bandwidth-buster.

Sounds like I need to work on the UI for switching stations!

The search results let you add new stations to a queue, but they're not playable until you press "Reload Stations" on the modal—which isn't obvious or intuitive. At the very least I can add some instructions for loading new stations.

I've also explored adding a drag and drop interface, but that's a little trickier than search (technically and design-wise). Will need to think more about it. Thanks for the feedback!
