Ratings and reviews

It's becoming impossible to listen to NPR on this app between it's frequency of crashes and commercial interruptions. Yes, it's supposed to be listener supported but become so greedy it constantly inserts advertisements into your efforts to listen. Crashes and unexplained stoppages were once a day occurrences that now happen 3, 4 on 5 times a day.

Hey HPM, just FYI, usually when people say "commercial free" it doesn't mean free as in freedom or free as in free beer. It means without. So you guys can't really claim to be commercial free. Especially when I get a commercial everytime I start the app, pause the app, and also anytime there's a hiccup in my internet connection, in addition to the normal ads on the broadcast every five minutes. This app makes the experience of listening to NPR unpleasant.

Stops frequently. Often multiple times ina spam if a few minutes. And what is Teri le about this is that it replays sponsor add each time.
