The basic version of this app will remain free in the future and we are constantly working on improving the app. We have planned quite a lot of additional functionality, for example a podcast player that we will deliver as a free update. We will have to spend some more time developing this before this feature is ready. Also planned: support for DAB+ USB sticks. 

Do you have any requests or wishes for features that we absolutely need to hear? Send us an email at dab@konsole-labs.com. Our goal is the development of an app that really gives you added value as a user. 

Besides feedback you can always support us via in-app purchases that buy us the next round of coffee while we work on making this app better each day. We will be showing our gratitude by unlocking the premium feature “social media slideshow”.
