Tab Bar at the bottom of the main pages
First of all - AWESOME APP !!!
The amount of functionality and configuration is incredible.
Reading here in the forum about all the suggestions as well as all the different configuration and personalization option - AMAZING - Respect for the work!
My suggestion:
Is it possible to add a "Tab Bar" ad the bottom of the UI on all the main screens?
The Tab Bar would contain the main menu points
* Home (Podcast)
* Radio
* Player
* Playlist
* Download
And would make the navigation between the different screens much easier.
Example:

Why add it:
1.) A phone with a big screen requires the use of a second hand to click the Menu icon in the top left corner - big gap/stretch.
2.) The user must click twice to switch to other main screens. The only possibility to have one click is by using the return button (not possible to go forward)
Implementation:
I would suggest adding the Tab Bar on to the bottom of the main pages (listed above).
This space is currently occupied by advertising and I think some people would nag that they cannot click buttons and always click the advertising banner.
A possible solution would be to enable this Tab bar after the user has bought the application. This way no one can complain to click the add-Banner instead of the tab bar and users have also a motivation to purchase the application for a more friendly UI.
