Reviews
Not compatible with slide out keyboard The app wont open if my slide out keyboard is open. If the app is already running and I open the keyboard, the app automatically shuts down.
Much better Seems like they're aren't any reviews since the last update. Latest update works great and looks even better. Definitely recommend giving this one a chance if you gave up on the old one.
WBEZ I had various problems with older version, but now new version works better on Android ICS RAZR, but does not even open on my Android JB Asus tablet??
Don't bother unless you want WBEZ specific content. Other reviewers have offered the solid advice that the NPR app is the one to download if you just want to listen to the live stream. If there are local programs you're interested in, this might be worth the download, but expect it to be unresponsive and to crash.
Difficult & Frustrating Can hardly ever get stream to play and it takes far too many buttons to get there. Use the NPR streaming app instead. I'm sorry WBEZ spent part of my pledge money on this piece of crap.
Drops a lot Like others have said, Great when it works. Hard to get Stream restarted when it drops, & it doesn't shut down without a fight
