I’d like to know what their retention rate is.

I, too, downloaded it but deleted it after the trial period.

My guess is that it’s no more than 10%.

I already pay for XM/Sirius.

Not going to be nickle and dimed for more dough to listen on my iPod or IPhone, Mel.

Maybe it was downloaded 1 million times because it does not have access to Howard Stern!

GOOD NEWS!! There is a DVD movie out about the whole Sirius XM/Mel K. story called: Stock Shock. Very good flick and explains stock market manipulation as well. Stock Shock is at amazon.com and stockshockmovie.com

No one has said this, but Sirius had this app “ready to go” months ago and suddenly pulled it. I wonder if there was an APPL review/edict that forced the removal of Howard due to either AT&T Internet traffic concerns or APPL’s apparent monitoring of indecency?

While the lack of Howard may be an issue it’s not the only one.

I have the app but it was not particularly easy to sign up for a Premium account even though I already had an XM online account.

Secondarily I have to agree to the previous comment about the $2.99 added cost when the advertisement for a “free” app makes it sound like you can listen at no additional cost.

Thirdly the UI needs some work. Finding channels by channel number doesn’t seem possible and adding channels to Favorites requires going into the channel to add.

Good start but needs work.

This 1 Million downloads makes total sense. We have been waiting for a sirius radio app for so long, but when I go to get it, after I tried to sign in with my information, I was shut down because I am not a premium user. I don’t want to pay an extra $2.99 a month for a service I will use about 100 times a year.
