Ratings and reviews

It is really chsllenging to use. Some times multiple presses still does not work. uses too much data in the background. Lowered my rating because it does not seem to be any effort to try to resolve this huge memory drain. anoying app keeps asking me to review. i am still stuck with it still no better.

Works for me. 5/16 update: Been using this app for a few months now. It's the best I've found so far, BUT am frustrated also. It cuts out, goes dead abruptly. Don't know if it's the app or the station. Haven't found an alternative so....1/2021 update:. Still more reliable than not. Not being a TV person, I really appreciate this app.

Use mostly to listen to WGCU radio 📻 live via Wifi. App not as reliable as other NPR players. Used to be better. After clicking on radio, then listen live, page with Play ▶️ comes up. Tapping that, there is a 2-3 sec delay before spinning progress circle. Sometimes no response at all, no matter how many times touched. 2nd main beef: after an interruption from other app, it halts playing. Unlike other NPR apps, does not recover. Starting from top, one must listen again to longish sponsor.
