BACKGROUND PLAYBACK
MP3 and AAC+ stations (and many podcasts) can be played in the background while you run other applications on your iPhone or iPod touch.

NOTE about Sirius/XM: Sirius/XM have recently changed their streaming format to use Flash technology. As you may know, Apple does not allow Flash on their devices. Due to this, Pocket Tunes no longer support playback of Sirius/XM stations. Sirius/XM provide a free iPhone player that you may find useful. 2009 NormSoft, Inc.

Sirius-XM listeners: check out this app! Finally, satellite radio can be streamed on an iPod Touch! Either service will work, and the audio quality is terrific.

Not ready for prime time! Wait till the work out the kinks. Or the price drops. Dropping streams with a strong wifi connection. Doesn't return to stream sometimes after interrupted by a phone call. Somewhat disappointed considering the high price.

It works!! I have both XM and Sirius subscriptions and an Iphone. My new car did not come with either service, but it had USB, Ipod, and AUX outlets under the armrest. I bought the App and uploaded my subscriptions to my Iphone and I now have both subscriptions on my Iphone. The sound quality is good. The App works!! This App should be a serious consideration for those who have an AUX input and a satellite-less radio.

AWESOME. Welcome Howard & Sirius Thanks so much to Pocket tunes!!! I have been waiting for Sirius for the iphone and now it is here. 5 stars alone for that!! I am sure that they will tweak the app as time goes by with constructive criticism. I was a beta tester of the STAR PLAYER. It was great, but it is not available. I am sure the Sirius app will be great, when it comes, but this is here now and it is for Sirius AND other applications as well. The $9.99 is well worth it and I will also buy the Sirius app when it comes out to stream Sirius only.

Sirius for Iphone If you want to listen to Sirius on your Iphone, this is the app you need. Flawless streaming over 3G connection and extremely simple to use. All you need is the subscription that allows you to listen to Sirius over the internet. If you are a Howard Stern fan, this app is highly recommended. Thanks Pocket Tunes.

Sub par I bought this because I wanted to be able to listen to Sirius when I wasn't in my car or at my computer. It's awesome that I can actually do it, but it's definitely sub par. I'm on WiFi (and was when I first used it) and the connection is lame. The connection drops constantly, and I have no idea what it's doing, as there's no popup notification telling me that it's re-buffering or anything else. Maybe it's just now, but I'll try later and if I find that I can listen to a Sirius channel without the connection dropping out, I'll give it a higher review. As of now, though, I don't feel as if I got my $9.99's worth.

I'll be a SOB!!! This is my new favorite app. If you wondering if it really works.....it does!! Finally a way to listen to Sirius on the go without having to buy another radio. It's a small file and loads very fast. You don't need a wifi connection either. E and 3G work as well although 3G is the better way to go. Accessing Sirius is very EZ and you can add individual channels to your favorite list for even quicker access. A+ for this one, guys!!

For Sirius and Howard Stern Pocket Tunes ROCKS! I love my iphone, but there have been a couple of things I have been wanting to be able to do for 2 years, one of them has been listening to SIRUS and Howard Stern on it. Thanks to Pocket Tunes Radio I can finally do that. I don't understand why there has been so little press about this app; for 9.99 its very worth while, now if it can only play can control my sling box!!! Thank you

So far, not good All of the reviews seem to be "Howard this", "Howard that." Tried using this many times with Live 365. The site thinks I am accessing by computer. Keeps wondering where my Flash player is. Duh, there ain't one. That's the point. Have written to the company. We'll see if they if they send me to Live 365 for answers.

I WOULD PAY $50 FOR THIS APP AHHH YEAH DROPIN LOADS!!!!
Being able to sit at my "Office Space"esq cubicle and listen to Howard makes the day go 10x faster. And to me that is priceless.
AS FOR THE QUALITY OF THE APP: It let's me stream Sirius over 3g and it works better then I expected switching from wi fi to 3g and back. Took me 5 min of searching how to access Sirius but only 30 seconds to set up.
The quality of Sirius' Low quality' streaming connection which sounds like 32-64 Kbps mp3 quality is fine for Howard but the music fidelity leaves a little to be desired.
The only other thing I could ask for in this app would be a recording function. That would make it a virtual Stiletto replacement.

Great for Sirius users and more! This app is great for listening to Sirius through the iPhone. I had no problem getting into it or bookmarking my favorite satellite channels for quick access. Sirius really dropped the ball by not making an app quicker. Hopefully, they won't try to do something to prevent you from using this one.. You may want to upgrade the Sirius Internet quality for 3$ more a month, as it sounds a little muffled without it. I never realized how many great internet stations there are. Its a pleasant surprise. Just one thing, they have to dress up the screen a little. It's very plain as it is. Worth the 10$ I say!
