Ratings and reviews

App is great... when it works. It randomly stops every few minutes after the first hour of use. (Android device) UPDATE: I figured out how to keep the app from pausing so frequently. Once I turned off notifications for my device by putting it in Do Not Disturb mode, the random pausing stopped. Not so handy if you're on your phone or laptop and need notifications. So I use it on my tablet, which I don't depend on for email, text, or calls.

App is very unreliable. It crashes often, usually as a result of other activity or notices on my phone, which is problematic. My phone's own app manager calls it out for frequent crashes and asks me if I want to Uninstall it to improve the reliability of my other apps. It could use a little developer investment.

I was super excited to be able to listen to CRB in Philadelphia but recently the app just stopped working. The play buttons are just pictures. Super disappointed! I will go back to MPR.
