Buggiest App on My Phone

On average, every two weeks I have to delete this app and reload, because it crashes and refuses to play audio
Nice for streaming jazz

I love being able to steam KJZZ and the 24 hour jazz station. The access to text news is a nice bonus. Only wish it displayed the song and artist information for the jazz station, like you can get on HD Radio.
Working much better now

EDIT: the app now initializes and runs, a major improvement over previous (see below). My rating is raised from 1 star to 4. But the app doesn't quite deserve 5 stars yet, as there are still some bugs to work out. (For example, when switching from Schedule to News and then back, the bottom menu says Schedule, but the News view persists.) Also, I think a story needs more than two written paragraphs to qualify as a "news" story. But these are fairly minor issues that, again, I'm sure they'll overcome soon. On the whole, I'm much happier with the app's performance now. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I keep getting the message that 'the app cannot be configured from the server', regardless of whether I'm on my employer's firewalled WiFi or 4G. I'm sure they'll get this sorted out quickly, but until then, one star for an app that doesn't work quite yet.
Could be better

Being able to listen to KJZZ when a radio is not available is great. However, of all the streaming apps I use this is the poorest. The signal constantly drops, and won't restart, meaning, I have fish out my phone kill the app to relaunch, which I have to do 3 or 4 times on a 30 minute bus trip. If it were not for the great content provided by NPR I would delete this app. As if to illustrate my point it dropped as I was writing this
Problems with continuos play

The app plays for a few seconds then pauses to buffer. I miss about half the programming. It is very frustrating. I don't know if I have erred or if the iPhone 4 I have doesn't support the app
Nice but stream stops often

It's nice to have the option of this as an app but stream stops every 5 minutes or so, sometimes it starts again but other times I have to force close.
