I'm listening on the BN app on my regular droid and it hasn't stopped yet. How long did you go before it stopped? Steve Jobs said the Droid X also has issues with the Death Grip....wah.

I have Brewzor and the only other brewing app I have on my Droid is BJCPDroid, which is the style guide. Nice to have it at your fingertips. I tend not to brew with my Droid since I'm confident it will end up in the brew kettle.


The BN app is touch and go. It could go for like half an hour before it stops, or it could go for five minutes. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it. It also seems as though it freezes up - sometimes when I click for it to continue playing, nothing happens. I have to restart the phone to get it going again. Also, when it does restart, it tends to start from the beginning (from when I first started listening) instead of where I left off. Kind of annoying to listen to 40 minutes (or whatever) only to have to listen to it again. Not that it is all that bad but I do have other things I'd like to do.

But how do you actually stop/close the app? When I hit the phones' menu button, nothing happens. In fact, I think only the "home" button does anything.

If I get it working to my satisfaction, I'll be posting it to the market and doing updates there and this will be a dev, bug, and announcement thread.
