Ratings and reviews

9/1/24 I unistalled the app and reinstalled it. Now it is working! Hip Hip Hooray!!! 8/30/24, the app is still not able to connect to the internet. No matter what connection is being used, phone's or Wifi. This device is a Samsung S24 Ultra. Yesterday:Since a few hours ago, the app indicates there is no internet when other apps like KCRW have no issues. This is a very new issue that has been happening since a few hours ago.

The newest version is just so-so. It has some features that work and fixes a long-standing bug, but certain podcasts that used to work now appear to have no content and are unplayable. The ads are irritating but understandable -- donations probably aren't keeping up, so you need more revenue. Fine. Edit: several weeks later and still certain shows appear, but have no playable content on the platform. 😕

Update: they must have updated the app. It works well again, and has a new format- hallelujah. App worked fine for a year, and now won't connect to the internet. I uninstalled and reinstalled, no joy. Checked permissions, restarted phone- all my other apps are working fine. I really miss this one.
