CBS Radio News for iOS updated with support for Apple's CarPlay
Shortly after launching a new CBS News channel on Apple TV, CBS has updated its CBS Radio News app for iOS with support for Apple’s CarPlay automobile dashboard standard.
As noted by 9to5Mac:
The new UI allows users to browse and play the network’s library of on-demand shows such as the CBS Evening News and 60 Minutes. Users will also find that the Now Playing screen presents them with their local weather conditions.
CBS Radio News is the latest of Apple’s launch partners to be updated with CarPlay integration, following similar optimizations for Spotify, Rdio, iHeartRadio, and Stitcher.
CarPlay has been activated for certain aftermarket stereo systems as well as for in-car dashboards of Apple’s partner carmakers. In particular, Pioneer has enabled CarPlay in a number of its in-dash multimedia receivers.
The new version of CBS Radio News also includes the following minor improvements:
- Resolved issue with double audio playing unexpectedly.
- Coaching screen added to explain application functionality.
- Various bug fixes.
CBS Radio News is free to download from the App Store.
