No working Cannot steam correctly. I hey 5 seconds and then it stops. All on wifi that streams netflix, YouTube and Amazon just fine

Thomas Soroka

Plays for one second and quits I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times. It won't play any live stream for more than one second. I and no problem with streaming any other station but C-Span.

4 for now but should be a 1 and could be a 5! I have had this app since 2012. I use to listen to it throughout my day at work and it worked great (at that time it was a 5). I gave it a 4 because I don't want to scare people away from the app for good, but I am having the same issues as everyone else with the stream. So, if I just came into the app blind I would give it a 1 as well. It has been a while since it has worked correctly. If it goes another month without resolve im switching to a 1 as well; however, if fixed this app is an easy 5!

What happened? UPDATE 2/28/15... almost a year later, and still no fix. What one was an awesome app is now a wasted opportunity for such a valuable public resource. Boo! WHAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF FIVE STARS? This app worked great on my Razr Maxx. I recently switched to the Note 3 and now the app won't work. The stream plays for about 15-20 seconds then drops out never to begin again. Come on!

Doesn't work This app allows me to hear a word or two and continuously cuts out. Most of the time it doesn't resume playing.

Help Worked on my kyocera. Worked on my LG. Will not work on my ZTE. The pod cast works. I can get cspan radio on "free talk radio" (nice app) but I can not get cspan 1,2, or 3. Just like so many others, play for 10 sec and cuts out. I need my book tv. HELP!!!!!

Only plays for a second So disappointing! I have a Galaxy Note 3, and as others have noted, the app only plays for a second or twoi, and then silence. Uninstall and reinstall didn't work. I wish this glitch would be repaired.

Catherine McAteer July 27, 2014

It doesn't work I just had to try it despite what others said but they ARE CORRECT it doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy S4 acts exactly as everyone is reporting starts and pauses then just sits there silently 😣. Please fix it.

A Google User August 25, 2012

App issues The app doesn't even start up once open or starts once you click stop and then play. This app also stops often in mid stream and never starts back up again and that's even when on a wifi connection. This app could definately be a 5 star app but there are still some issues with it. Thanks for listening.

rkrause7408 July 1, 2014

Garbage. Worked great then one day I had to reinstall it because it stopped working. Now it plays for a second then stops. I tried reinstalling it but only to get the same result.

Tom De Martino July 19, 2014

Plays for 1 second and quits Then after a minute or so it plays for 10 seconds and quits permanently. Problem began approx 1 month ago. Prior to that it worked great. Reinstalled to no avail. Problem occurred prior to recent Android operating system update so that isn't the cause.

Gary Itano February 19, 2014

Tune-In Radio app is better. Was hoping to time shift a hearing I'd missed. T-IR didn't have it either, but was able to pull up a Communicators on Net Neutrality show that I'm hearing as I write this. Our tax $s should fund a proper app that streams video, as on non-mobile devices. Please thumbs up, if you concur. Thx.

Jason Lansky July 7, 2014

Used to be great...now it is worthless. As others have described, it will play for a second and then stop. Restarting phone does not fix it, uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't fix it. C-Span app...RIP.

A Google User November 3, 2012

I love C-SPAN! I have been searching for. C-SPAN app for a while, and was so happy when I found this. As others have already noted, it does not stream live programming very well. I am hopeful that the author can fix this problem because it seriously compromises the usefulness of this app. The podcasts are a nice touch, but I have already been downloading and listening to them, so I don't really need the app for this. In short, this is better than nothing for a C-SPAN junkie, but it still needs work.

Alicia Smallwood May 7, 2013

C'mon CSPAN! I LOVE CSPAN. But this app truly STINKS. If i can ever get a podcast our the radio to start (can take up to 10 tries, and that is being modest!), it stops randomly. So then i have to go through the whole process of trying to start it again! Also out would be great if you could copy events from the schedule in to your own calendar.

Nathaniel Kennedy September 10, 2014

Doesn't work I hope the developers get this fixed. I'd be willing to donate time and capital to support.

Knox S April 24, 2014

Radio doesn't work None of the broadcasts work at all. I'll keep it only because the podcasts seem to work but this app is terrible. I had it on iPhone and it worked great.

Princely Robinson May 19, 2014

I paid for this app and it is of no use to me. It plays for about 2 seconds then stop. Please fix it promptly or refund the purchase price.

Todd Farrell April 4, 2014

Now pausing in background Used to work better. My droid RAZR Maxx HD pauses it after going to other non music apps. I'm on my second of this model and it didn't do this before, plus it's not crashing so I think it's something the app is now doing on purpose. I would like to turn this off.

Carrie Hedley September 18, 2014

Plays fine for me I just couldn't find the House Benghazi Hearings. C-span isn't covering it on TV either. But app played just fine for me. Droid RAZR M using home WiFi.

Susan Kaufman November 5, 2014

As with other comments cuts in and out. Cant get schedules either. Podcasts ok. Fix this app i need my book and history radio. HELP US!

A Google User July 30, 2012

Love C-Span! The app is perfect. I would like C-Span to add Washington Journal podcast. It's their call-in early morning show. They have host and invited guests and callers can interrupt them with the phone calls and call them on their bullshit. Most callers sound like retards, but their comments are very informed. Also a must have is Howard 101.5 channel on shoutcast from WinAmp App.

tom shinskie September 11, 2014

Super app. Thanks There might be an occasional glitch but it is terrific to have access to this information. UPDATE: There does seem to be a new glitch - others are reporting it as well. Sound comes on for a moment - goes off and then 'usually' comes back on after a 15-30 second wait. Still a very useful app but not ***** until this is resolved - dropping 2 stars. Thanks for the app just the same.

Jimmy Denton December 5, 2012

Will not open Great idea, if only it would open! I get main menu, but that's it. LG Esteem 4G lte, running Gingerbread.

Aminne Gafour November 11, 2014

It does not work! Audio is heard for a fraction of a second & then nothing.

Sonny W. June 23, 2014

Doesn't work! Will not connect.. Keeps buffering. Note 3

A Google User August 5, 2012

Waited for a long time - still waiting for wifi I don't believe that it is using my wifi based on stream cuts.

A Google User January 18, 2013

Work in progress The stream takes a long time to connect and does not always connect on the first try. However, I have added the stream address to Winamp as a favorite and it loads every time so I do not think it is the stream. I use the app for the programming schedule and not the stream because the stream within the app does not work. I too would love Washington Journal to be available as a podcast. This is the best show on C-Span!!

Deirdre Fox November 11, 2014

Doesn't work How you guys haven't fixed this app in all this time is beyond me. Plays for a second then stops. For over a year this hasn't been fixed. I just uninstalled then reinstalled this. Let's see if it works. So far, so good... but in the past, it's been very unreliable

Jason Wolfgram May 21, 2013

Doesn't work The stream doesn't play on my HTC 3D

A Google User January 28, 2014

The best Political App If you like politics like I do, this is a app for you.This app keeps you inform of what's going on in the World and Washington. A++

Matt Fulmer April 3, 2013

Does not work. Droidx Dl and tried to stream non of the channels work.

A Google User September 21, 2012

Still needs work Nice features, but just about any background processing or data transfer (e.g., Gmail notification) will interrupt the audio stream, which then has to be restarted. There's a long wait for that. If I'm listening to radio, I expect the app to prevent other apps from interfering. Also, the program screen should detect the time and show me what's currently airing, rather than requiring me to scroll down.

A Google User July 25, 2012

C-Span Radio Excellent app and finally available. Works well out here in corn country.

damikco stockard November 18, 2013

Now 3 app dose not work! Please fix this app it work good for my note 2. Nor good at all for my note 3.

A Google User October 4, 2012

Slow or not working I love cspan, but this doesn't work well, if at all..

JESSE VARGAS March 6, 2013

THIS APP SUCKS! Wow. ..... You would think that this would not be too hard to get right. It's not like it's solving the worlds problems and then giving you a shave. It is supposed to stream content, nothing more. It takes a while to get started and then cuts out every few seconds. Weak!!

A Google User September 13, 2012

At least its not just me I been waiting for this ever since I got my android. I would listen to cspan all the time on my blackberry but Im missing it so when I say this I got excited. But I can listen when the streaming cuts out every five seconds. Fix that, and you have me back. I love cspan but this ap needs a lot of improvement

Don Bistrow May 8, 2013

Broke Quickly POS quit working within 1hr.

randall hazard November 25, 2014
