QRadio 9.0 teaches Song History that one station often has many names, and adds Hotel Mode for networks that should not cost you data.
- Merge stations in history: Trojka and Polskie Radio 3 become one entry, which takes the name and logo of the station you merge into. You can separate them again later.
- Manage Stations: one screen to merge, separate, or delete everything a single station recorded. The number of songs is named before you confirm.
- Save history only for favorites: optional, so stations you try from the catalog leave nothing behind.
- Station branding stays out of history. Bumpers and slogans are filtered by how often they recur rather than by a word list.
- Rename a catalog station or give it your own logo. The catalog's own name stays underneath.
- Hotel Mode: QRadio never falls back to cellular on its own, Shortcuts included, and it tells you why playback stopped.
- Arrange the tabs in the order you use them. The order syncs to your other devices.
- History updates as songs arrive from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch. There is nothing to refresh.
- Steadier HLS playback, with a cushion against dropouts. Playback resumes where it stopped instead of rewinding.
- Lower battery use while streaming.
- Shortcuts: a new Stop Other Devices action, and the Play tile's station list stays current.
- Catalog: find a station by typing its stream address.
- Apple Watch recovers its stream after a dropout in standalone mode.
- TV stations that broadcast video now play their audio. The picture is ignored, so a music TV channel listens like any other station.
- Filter history by date: today, the last 7 or 30 days, all dates, or a range you pick. Relative periods follow the clock past midnight.
- Better song matching. Fewer instrumentals, megamixes and remixes standing in for the original recording.
- Station branding filtering no longer mistakes a song for a jingle when several of your devices record the same play.
- Fixes a crash that could end playback when the app was reopened.
- Stability fixes.
