I have no trouble getting into the app, I just have to find it on my phone manually and double tap. It’s just launching it with Siri that causes trouble. Yes, an inconvience, I know, but it would be nice to conquer this issue.

I too, hope, you could get into it, Bill. I've got to verify my apple id that I got the other night, after I get that squared away I'll be able to get the app. Do I just search for xm radio in the apps store or would I input the information on the web page? I really appreciate this list and all the assistance. I've got so many questions and I've learned a number of things on my own, and I'm also reading the Dressner book. Anyway, I guess I'll go ahead and ask 2 other how to questions here. With upgrading to the se phones on my t-mobile account, Both the phones had the wrong date, and both say oklahoma city, oklahoma no weather information. Oklahoma is which is where we live. We don't have these 2 phones pared up to the bluetooth keyboard yet, and we don't know how to pare them up, in other words we don't know which key that we need to press, if I'm remembering right. The reason why I'm mentioning the bluetooth keyboard is, because if we need to go into settings for both the weather, and to set the date and time, those settings are further down the screen and with the bluetooth keyboard if it was pared up I could arrow right until I get to those settings. I suppose I could use the roater to get further down the screen, but the way I've heard it described I can't seem to do it right so that will take more practice. Now the time was correct on both phones, it was just the date. I think I just got lucky with Wayne's phone today, somehow in exploring the screen I did get into where you input the date and time, so his phone is on the 24 hour time which is how he likes it, and the date is correct now. Though I can't find it on my phone. Then on his phone, between asking Siri the weather, also the hourly forecast some how it began having the weather information showing on the screen the current temperature, the high and low for the day, the hourly forecast and the weekly forecast, which I think it's through accuweather. I can't seem to do the same where the weather is concerned on my phone. Both phones are signed up with the wifi fine, so I'm not sure what to do or what I missing. Like a lot of things, it's probably something simple. I've got another question but I'll ask in another message. Thank you, Paul, and anyone else that can help me.

If you know the channle that you are looking for, it’s easiest to search for that channel in the search tab. If you want to browse by category, you want the channel tab. They have improved accessibility some recently. The app is pretty good now. Good luck. I love my Sirius/XM. Not sure why it’s not working for Bill, but I can get Siri to open Sirius/XM by saying open XM every time. I wonder if this is working for anyone else?

We have xm radio, and we just signed up on the site to listen to it online, and it sounds really great, better than we thought it would, and we'd like to get the app. Thank you.
