Ratings and reviews

Sorry, but this app is awful. I recognize the need to generate income to pay for the app, but this app interrupts the broadcast news content at random intervals with advertisements which play over top of the news broadcast. I've missed important news when these ads interrupt. I would gladly pay a fee to not hear ads but that is not an option. I can't believe OPB has sunk so low.

I primarily use this app for live streaming. Over the years its performance has been very sketchy. It used to cut out frequently. This was resolved for awhile. Then my phone upgraded to Android 14 and the app became completely unusable. It started working again after awhile. But now we're back to frequent cut outs. In the last couple minutes alone the stream restarted 2-3 times. Very frustrating.

Unless I give access to seemingly everything, this app doesn't work on Android? A pop up shows up saying that the app was built for an older Android, so if I don't allow access to all my contacts it won't work right... And the app cuts off the last word or two on the right hand side of each line with no way to correct... This app is terrible until they can update for a newer version of android
