Ratings and reviews

When it works it works well, however the app seems to re-initialize when crossing over from wifi to cellular data and also I suspect when going from different wireless standards ie 4G to 5G. This is annoying because it will stop the radio stream and play the intro commercial when you first open the app. When driving on the freeway this has happened to me several times a minute which makes it unusable. When you sit still in one place it works great, this is something the devs should look into.

very good app, easy to find what Im looking for and great streaming. go kbps!

generally good. slow to play sometimes. NPR content is good. no
