Ratings and reviews

The app, not the news, has a lot to be desired and got even worse after the new update. Yes, other audio apps on my phone always get stopped by navigating around the MPR app due to some internal media player problem. The biggest new complaint is that there are 2-3 specific sharing links, for only Facebook, Twitter and email. Without a plain Share button to link to internal apps for sharing, this becomes a worse app than using a browser, and that's essentially all it is anyway.

Great new but has lots of other problems. I really dislike how when I have a music app playing opening the mpr app stops my music, no other news app does this. I also hate how the top half of page attempts to refresh and you have difficulty navigating until it finishes, but it usually doesn't finish or takes 2-5 mins to finish. Force quitting the app solves this but is annoying.

Functional before May-June 2019, though the interface is outdated. Clunky scrolling has been replaced with NO scrolling -- like many others have found, you can't scroll down to actually read stories... It's inexplicably broken. I like the local headlines, but I'm going to have to look elsewhere now.
