Ratings and reviews

Too many places to click. This makes the app slow to load, and it is far too easy to hit a button you don't want, thus further delaying connection to the main (live) stream. In several years of using the app on a daily basis, I have never wanted any other than the main (live radio) stream, and have been delayed countless times by your TERRIBLY designed app. Please make a single link with a menu for the other links.

Maine public is great, the app.... not so much. It doesn't sort news stories consistently, showing "highlights" for days sometimes. Often shows long strings of podcasts in the news portion. The app crashes fairly often, and doesn't refresh the news feed without a full exit and restart, which it asks if you're sure you want to do. It doesn't have helpful features, like predownloading stories for viewing offline. And it's not layed out well in landscape, which it might not even support.

During this critical time to stay informed, your app continues to stop playing. Please check your security because the app cuts off so frequently during important reporting of the election. I'm very frustrated! All said, the radio portion of your app is far superior to accessing stations on a web browser. I love having the ability to rewind or pause, although the pause feature doesn't hold when a new program comes on. I end up missing the program I had paused.
