Some app updates have really short change logs, but don't let that
deceive you into thinking this isn't a big deal. Tune-In Radio was
updated today with only "We've fixed some bugs to improve your TuneIn
experience" listed as what's new. What bugs did they fix? Well, the only
one that matters to us is that they got rid of the persistent
notification that plagued users running Android 4.3.

If you're scratching your head right now, here's some context. The Android 4.3 update
introduced a "bug" where some applications place persistent
notifications in the notification bar. These cannot be removed, even
with the option in app settings. It turns out that this was completely intentional,
as Android developers wanted to draw attention to apps that were
inappropriately running in the background without alerting users. The
hope was that app developers would be publically shamed into fixing the
bad behavior. TuneIn Radio was perhaps one of the most well-known apps
needing a fix, and today it's here. Win.
