Since starting my job as Quality Assurance Engineer at All In Media<\/a>, one of the big clients we’ve been working with has been Radioplayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve blogged a couple of times about Radioplayer<\/a>, so I was very excited to be working with Mike and Leo again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radioplayer launched their desktop app in 2011, followed by their mobile apps last summer. So the next step was of course tablets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as we can tell, people in the UK currently do between 10-15% of their web browsing on tablets.  And when they are<\/i> using their tablets, they tend to linger longer on them, than they do on their PCs or phones. [Source: Radioplayer<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The new apps, for Android and iOS, are all about discovering new stations and getting more from the stations you choose to listen to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main highlights are an enlarged station view, columns for all the stations to pick and a supercharged search function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My job throughout the project was to test the app and ensure that it met the client’s expectations. I even managed the project from our end for a week whilst my boss was away! So after many hours going through a 100+ point test list, the apps are ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Hill, MD of UK Radioplayer Ltd, has done a short demonstration of the new iPad layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
