Ratings and reviews

The app is more responsive and cleaner looking. When listening to live broadcast, if you stop and play again, it continues where you left off. which is great. On demand features: some cut-off mid way, and others have no listed content. Advertisements: volume is turned up. Radio voices: most invite listening, but some reporters' voices sound bored/ sad, shrill, congested, or too affected.

A great way to keep LAist with you while traveling, or to time shift shows that you may have missed. Nicely organized, particularly when one can find a particular segment (such as the Sunday puzzle) of a longer program. Of course the best feature is the quality, integrity and civility of the content. Public Radio is a national treasure.

When listening to On-Demand, the recording stops every few minutes. I hit play again & the recording is stepped back a minute. I have to jump forward to the spot it stopped. Then in a few minutes or less it happens again. This goes on until the recording is complete. I have deinstalled the app & reinstalled twice. Nothing changes. This has happened in various locations, so it's not that I'm in a bad signal location. This is a fairly new occurrence beginning July 25th.
