There's a new engine under the hood. Things should be a little snappier, and playback a bit more reliable.

- Added iPhone X support. Top-notch work if I do say so myself.
- Now uses Safari View Controller to handle links. That's a fancy way of saying Beetroot won't boot you out of the app to view most station pages or gig info anymore.

Awwww yeeaahhhh check out that new playback screen. Now it's even easier to support the community radio stations you love with quick links to donate, volunteer and buy merch straight from the player.
The playlist is looking pretty sweet too - Gigs, Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music links are at your fingertips without having to go anywhere.

Beetroot's getting smarter! Now it'll remember your regulars and suggest stations based on where you are. The more you listen, the smarter it gets!
And for any privacy enthusiasts out there: listening info is kept on your device, and your location is limited to state only.

Beetroot's been hitting the books and is almost ready to show off its new smarts. This update'll make sure you'll have access from day one.

I'm sneaking a little pressie into this update, but it's not quite ready to be unwrapped just yet. Here's a hint - Beetroot's getting smarter.
Also in this update is a little fix for a little bug. Now Beetroot'll stand up to a dodgy deep link.

Deeeeep links! What are they? They're like URLs on the web, but for apps. Now you can link straight to a station inside the app. LIKE MAGIC.
Thanks to Andrew from Surg for suggesting this!

This one’s for all you nerds out there! Beetroot’s been re-written to use native iOS navigation components. What does this mean for you? Well, moving about the app should feel just that little bit nicer. Plus if you like to swipe to go back, you’ll notice that’s a lot more reliable.
Also in this update: now playback stops when you yank out your headphones.
In case you missed it: Two new stations have been added in an all-new student category. The splendid SURG FM from Sydney Uni, and the wonderful Woroni from our nation’s capital. Welcome aboard!

I hope you like your bugs squishy. Lots of squashing going on in this update.
SQUASHED: Discover articles sometimes showed the loading spinner forever and ever and ever.
HIT WITH A ROLLED UP NEWSPAPER: App could sometimes crash if used with no internet connection
SPRAYED WITH AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF MORTEIN: Playlist wouldn't update if you lost and regained your internet connection
Also in this update are some behind the scenes changes to make things a bit zippier. So enjoy that extra zip. Don't spend it all at once.

Fixed a little bug where showing all stations in a state caused the layout to EXPLODE

Now Beetroot'll do its best to find links to Apple Music for every track and feature it comes across. Thanks to @JamesesCanavan for nudging me to finally get this out the door! :D
Also in case you missed it - Perth's radical RTRFM and Tassie's excellent Edge Radio are now on Beetroot! More stations on the way soon...

Quick little bug fix. Links to follow Beetroot on Twitter and to leave a review on the App Store were broken. Now they're less broken.
Thanks to Josh for letting me know!

Oh hey, I hope you enjoyed those bug fixes in the last release. You did? Well that is most excellent, because there are even more fixes in this one! \ (•◡•) /
- No more weird, sporadic delays when tapping the pause/play button or switching stations
- Playback should be even more reliable in spotty connections
- A sparkly treasure has been hidden somewhere in the Support tab

Adelaide's Three D and Fresh FM are on Beetroot! Thanks to Cheeburger for the request. Hope you like 'em!
There are also some sweeeeeet changes to Beetroot's design, and some fixes for some pesky bugs:
- Track info uses a solid colour from its artwork
- Improved recovery when connection is lost
- Prevent crash caused by dodgy track artwork

New toys! Beetroot has two new tabs - Discover and Support. With Discover, feature-albums are gathered from each station. If multiple stations feature the same album, their articles are shown together so can see a few different opinions. The Support tab gives you quick access to helpful links for your favourite stations. Community radio is built on the back of generous donations and the time of super cool volunteers. If you like what you hear, please take the time to support your local station.
Also in this version are a couple of tweaks to keep things running smoothly. Connections should be zippier, track artwork is more accurate, and links to Spotify are now more reliable.
Not in this update (but probably in the next one): Three D Radio, and some other sweet SA stations. Thanks for the suggestion Cheeburger, they're on the way!

How good was that last update! How amazing would it be if the same slick design changes made their way to the track layout? Boom. They just did.

As you cast your gaze over the crowded App Store update tab, you feel your heart skip a beat when your eyes land on a beauty so strange, yet so familiar. Is this what love feels like? No. But Beetroot's had a few design changes.
- Sweet new player layout
- Slick animations
- Quicker access to the current track's gigs/Spotify/iTunes links.
- See the current track and program AT THE SAME TIME
- Track updates are more reliable when iPhone is locked

PBS and 2SER are on Beetroot! Super excited to finally bring them on after so many requests. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Also in this update are some streaming improvements. Now Beetroot'll do a much better job of recovering when you've got a spotty connection. And check out that loading spinner! Who doesn't love a loading spinner am I right? Guys?
