I want to give people more tips on this app and specifically the latest update. When you double tap on something in search results to have it play, it often does not or it may not ever go automatically to the now playing screen. This could be viewed as a feature or a bug or just something to be indifferent to. It is no problem though. IT shows the track and artest name in the bottom left cornor of the screen when it is playing after you double tapped on it from search results or whatever listing possibly. There is a button to pause the playing track in the bottom right cornor at that point. Double tap on that artest or track name in the bottom left cornor and there you go, your now playing screen comes up. Then double tap the np info button in the top left cornor and you get more options on your now playing screen. Also now when you are in the search screen, there is a side menu button near the top left of the screen. Double tapping that brings up a menu that is mostly different parts of the app you can navigate to from there. Your play lists, search, settings, and some others. The app has a little bit of a complex navigation path, but if you learn it, it works really well and this update has improved accessibility in my opinion. It does not look like they meant to, although who knows, but just how they changed things seems to work a little bit better.
