Ratings and reviews

In general the app is good. My concern is that during breaks or commercials the sound automatically goes up..for those of us that listen to tpr at our office its is frustrating that i have to lower the volume since i share office space with coworkers....then after the commercial break i have to raise the volume back up so i can hear it. Please fix this.

Love TPR's content, but this app is a mediocre delivery system. Frequently stops playing for no apparent reason, then you have to be force-fed their app-opening marketing spiel when you re-open the app...no big deal once, but REALLY annoying when you're trying to get back to what you were listening to for the second or third time.

it's ok. gets the job done when looking for local TPR station. The app does tend to randomly cut out or stop streaming what I'm listening to sometimes but I dont know if that is something that can be improved by adjusting my wifi/internet settings or whatever. Seems to be a ubiquitous problem regardless of where I am. It's a little annoying but besides that the app is convenient for listening to local NPR or nationally broadcast dailies that I may have missed like Marketplace or whatever.
