Ratings and reviews

I like the convenience of the app over using the website to listen to the news or programming, however the sound quality with the new app is not good. Perhaps it is my phone, a Google Pixel, but the sound is rather tinny like an old transistor radio. There's also some feedback. I have uninstalled and tried a couple of times but finally just decided to go back to the website.

The content is ok, but the stream stops everytime I get a phone call and doesn't autoresume. once stopped, I have to pull out of the phone and restart the stream. Then it will play a leapfrog commercial each time. So bad I am forced to listen to NPR from another city. also when you tell Google home to play WABE, it pulls the classical music instead of live stream. get your sht together WABE!!

New problems pop up. When listening to daily or weekend updates, the app resets back to the beginning article whenever you turn your phone screen back on or open the app again. Last couple of weeks whenever I try to listen to the entire Weekend report on demand for Saturday (doesn't do it for Sunday oddly enough) it will only play the first story over and over even if I try to choose another article.
