TuneIn Radio returns to Windows 10 Mobile after taking hiatus to fix issues

For those who use TuneIn Radio on the phone, the last few months have been a rollercoaster ride. First the app is coming, then it comes out in December, then it disappears, and now it is back again.

As it turns out, the developer hired by TuneIn Radio had some issues with the Windows 10 Mobile version of the app. So much so that the app was temporarily pulled until streaming errors and performance issues could be resolved.

In an email response from TuneIn Radio customer service about the missing app, the team responded:

" The Windows 10 OS was just recently released to a limited number of users. With this release, we're still working to optimize the app for the new mobile experience. We appreciate your patience as we work toward creating the best possible app for our users. Rest assured that this issue has already been properly addressed and finishing the final touches for the updates. We appreciate your patience in this issue."

Evidently, that day is upon us as starting on Friday the app was made available again for Windows 10 Mobile users.

Loading version 3.0.1715 of the app is certainly much faster for response time and in fact, at least on our Lumia 950, the app now feels zippy. We also had no issues in streaming media, which, after all, is the point of the app.

Anyway, if you lost the app and were unable to download it over the last few weeks you can now cross that off your bucket list.
