Slacker Radio has just been updated and includes outstanding features for iPad users or those who enjoy on demand music search and listening without being connected to Wi-Fi. This is a universal app and the latest update brings Slacker Radio to version 3.0.
With the 3.0 update, Slacker Radio now offers an optimized user interface for iPad owners and support for Slacker Premium Radio subscriptions via in-app purchases. With the subscription service, radio listeners can use the on demand features and "station catching" that doesn't require you to be connected via Wi-Fi.
"With slacker Radio Plus or Slacker Premium Radio subscription, you can store your favorite Slacker stations on your iPad and listen even when you don't have a wireless or Wi-Fi connection!" according to the app description.
On demand allows listeners to search for songs, artists, and albums on their iDevice, with a subscription, and play them through the service.
The pricing model available for the on demand access and station catching ranges from $9.99 for a two month subscription to $19.99 for a four month subscription. Here is a list of features the app now offers (via the app description):
