Ratings and reviews

I primarily use this app for live streaming. Over the years its performance has been very sketchy. It used to cut out frequently. This was resolved for awhile. Then my phone upgraded to Android 14 and the app became completely unusable. It started working again after awhile. But now we're back to frequent cut outs. In the last couple minutes alone the stream restarted 2-3 times. Very frustrating.

Whatever struggles I had with this app months ago has all been resolved. The new updated app is crisp and seamless. A great layout and design for easy navigation to get right to the theme of the stories you want or listen to live radio without interruption. After using the updated app for an extended period of time there is no lagging or hangups like with the old app. I encourage you to give the OPB app another chance and you'll be delighted like I am.

This app lets me read articles or listen to programs, archived or live. One can chose special interest sections, create "My OPB" and more. Best of all, it's easy to use. I'm almost 80 years old; if it's not intuitive it's not for me. This app, I could figure out without my grandson"s help.
