Ratings and reviews

Very disappointed in updated app. I used to be able to click ONCE to get the news, now its three. Previously it was easy to choose a different stream, like classical or current. Now it's a search and even a separate app. Worst of all, the stream will intermittently just stop. it acts like its still streaming but no sound. I have to close app and reopen to get it started. Occasionally I have to Force the app to close before I can open it again to get the stream. ☹️

Much worse than the previous app. About half the time, the app won't load. It will be stuck on the loading screen. Then it's difficult to reset it. Even if you shut down the app, it will still be in the background, so you need to restart your phone or hibernate it. Numerous times it will not play the audio that you select. I've had to switch back to listening to MPR on the radio.

Love MPR! Less enthusiastic about this version of the app. When it loads right away, it's great! But at least half of the time, it freezes on the loading screen and doesn't open at all. I still listen on my various radios. But it was nice to have the option of using other devices to stream. Previous versions of the app seemed to be more reliable. Don't know what changed. Is funding at the root of this?
