Like a teen with their parents’ old car, we at EM:RAP have had only one thing on our minds: speed. We wanted to make our app snappier, and what followed was more than just tinting the windows and slapping a beefy muffler on your dad’s Tercel. Instead, we improved the app’s startup while removing the need to pull to refresh.
We also now support jumping between the website and the app with the tap of a button. So give it a try, and see just how quickly you’ll get to where you’re going.
Einstein said the closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time passes for you. We’ve taken a cue from his theory of relativity and improved our playback speed menu in the Android app. We’ve also fixed a few bugs in order to keep the app from spiraling into the nearest wormhole.
Whether you need to fit an hour-long chapter into 40 minutes, or you’re just curious what it’s like talking to someone stationary as you approach the speed of light, this update is sure to fit your needs.
Don’t you hate it when you pick up a book you’ve been reading, only to discover your kids have removed your bookmark and—somehow—eaten it? Finding where you left off can waste precious minutes. We know the feeling, so now the app will resume where you left off—just press play! Also, playback will now pause when interrupted by external audio. We’ve also made several small internal improvements to keep our app happy and healthy.
Remember that notebook you had as a kid, the one you’d written the titles of all your favorite songs in? Remember when your teacher docked you marks because “Stairway to Heaven” had nothing to do with your homework? Well the faculty at EM:RAP know how important lists of favorites are, which is why we’ve built chapter-level favoriting into the app. Now you can tag chapters as you browse or listen, then reveal them all in the favorites tab. It’s just like that old notebook of yours, but better!
Remember when TVs came with a set of rabbit-ear antennae? Remember those Saturday mornings, how you’d get up from the rug to fiddle with them each time the sound and picture cut out, and how mushy your bowl of cereal would get in the process? We do. The EM:RAP app has been reminding us lately, each time its audio would cut out.
Well, we’ve fiddled with the app so the sound should carry on like normal now. Give it a try. We can't promise you'll hear it over just how crunchy your cereal will be.
If a horologist tinkers with watches, then what do you call someone who tinkers with apps? An appologist? We ask since that's what we've been up to lately: tinkering with the innards of the EM:RAP app, replacing cogs and springs in an effort to keep things ticking along. You might only notice some of these changes, like how Crunch Time EM and FM have been moved out of the Main Episodes feed, but we've made plenty more internal updates which will contribute to the general well-being of the app.
There was a nasty rumour going around that the app was crashing for some of you. At first we thought, our app? How could that be? Alas, it turned out to be true, so we dropped everything and put the kettle on and stayed up way past our bedtimes to fix it. Now the app will remain running when you start it, just like it was intended to do.
We've made a strange discovery: each time we update the Android app, primary and rural care practitioners everywhere turn a deep shade of green.
In case some old fashioned envy is at play, Dr. Mel Herbert has prescribed a primary-care update to the app, including our brand-new Right on Prime and Crunch Time FM episodes.
Check out our monthly reviews, updates, and 25-year back catalogue while preparing for your boards. Relax and enjoy hours of unparalleled primary care education, available now.
We couldn't help but notice the app has been crashing for some of you shortly after it starts up. That's almost as bad as having a fender bender without first leaving the driveway. Well, we've re-adjusted the mirrors and checked the blind spot, and are ready to hit the emergency medicine highway once again.
It's no fun when you misplace something you need. You look in closets, peer under beds, dive into dumpsters. We know what it's like. Just the other day we noticed the odd episode might go missing in the app, and we've been busy shaking out the couch cushions and rummaging in drawers to find them. We're happy to say they're all present and accounted for now, and we promise they won't go missing again. The same is true for downloaded episodes. They now stick around, at least until you delete them.
If you were to ask us which three things we dislike most, we'd have to answer with: traffic jams, apps that crash, and those hardened bits of toothpaste you often find stuck to your sink.
This update doesn't do much for midday gridlock and doesn't go near that sink of yours, but it does keep the app from crashing when loading old episodes. What's more, chapters you've already listened to will now start from the beginning when you revisit them. And those vexing visual bugs? We've squashed 'em.
-Play notification no longer remains once playback finishes—unlike Odd Uncle Jimmy, who stuck around even after the Thanksgiving leftovers were put away.-Play Chapter button re-enables once playback stops, now that we've given it a stern talking-to.-The app no longer forgets your progress, unlike Granny, who forgot your kids' names at Thanksgiving dinner.-Improved the media player under the hood. Like listening to your usual shows on a new radio, it sounds the same but feels much nicer.
Fixes an issue where users were only able to log in intermittently.
- Written summaries are now integrated into the chapter screen. Play and read at the same time!
