I liked how the radio was before because I could just press search and the radio would automatically find the next music radio station, but now a big square box pops up with a list of stations which blocks my view while I am driving.

Please fix this, developers, then I will give a 5-star rating.”
- “The sound doesn't turn off even if it's off in the settings section. If you want to listen to music and drive, it's very disturbing due to the engine sound.”
