#1 Great app, works really well with VoiceOver!

Just downloaded the SHOUTcast radio app and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. Usually, anything that AOL touches puts a bad taste in my mouth but this one is surprisingly easy to use. No account is necessary, but you can connect to twitter and fb to post what you're listening to. Like other radio-related apps you're going to find some of the same stations, but that's not a problem at all. If you're a radio nut like me this app is a must-have. I was able to install it and was listening to a station in under a minute so that just shows how easy it is. Under the stations tab you'll find a search box which can be handy if you're looking for something very specific. You'll have to scrole a bit to find your results but again, not a big problem. Overall I'd say it's a great app! Works beautifully on my 4th generation iPod touch with iOS 5.1

#2 I found the App Hard to use

I found the buttons small and hard to find. Also, I was disapointed that the music would not mute while looking for access buttons thus drowding out voice over.
