Newest version (end of July) still broken
Was hoping that the endless spinning wheel when scanning for stations would be fixed with this release but its not. Although at least it looks like the Privacy->Location Services settings (iOS 8.4) do finally hold once you grant the app access while using the app (unlike prior version of the app). Sadly though even with the app having access to Location Services it hasnt been able to resolve the best stations here in southeastern Maine (and there should be PLENTY of dead air space for it to find some).
