## Review summary

Users overseas value Ö3 for staying connected to home and enjoying news and good sound, but stability issues after updates (crashes, launch failures) and the removal of the track list feature hurt usability. Playback reliability also suffers, with streams stopping after a while. Addressing stability, preserving track-visibility, and ensuring smooth streaming would address the top concerns.

### Pros

- Allows listening from overseas and staying connected to home.
- Integrated news and flash news keep users updated.
- Good sound quality and overall interface when the app runs smoothly.
- Easy to use for daily listening and travel (driving, commuting).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and the app won't open after updates.
- Loss of the upcoming/just-played songs view makes navigation cumbersome.
- Playback stops or cannot stream reliably after a short time.
