Reviews

Love this app
Hbhkkfyrdvhdbjjhjgfh

I love this app but it has a lot of flaws. Many stations do not work. Many stations spend a lot of time "buffering". The "on air" function does not work. It crashes. I wish the developers would do some kind of update. Despite this, I cannot go thru my day without using this app

"Programs on air now" never works anymore
Wishful&frustrated

Nothing ever shows up when this option is chosen. No list at all to choose from. Also can no longer get KSMU or other Ozark public radio stations, although they are listed. Numerous crashes with the option to "report" the glitch. I do report it --have reported it every time over the last couple of years, but nothing changes for the better. The app keeps getting less and less reliable. Also... Aren't the increasing ads incompatible with the original Public Radio concept? More and more disappointing app... Please change and make it functional again.

No more 5

Totally disappointed that this app does not work with IOS 11. Loved this app and being able to find NPR Stations when I traveled. Alas, no longer. NPR you disappoint.

I want to give this a 5 star but....

I used this to listen to a local kalw public station. Now it just spins and has not worked for last few months.

It no longer works

The developer hasn’t updated the app in ages and is no longer valid for the new iOS. This breaks my heart, I was able to still listen to my hometown NPR station even though I moved across country. I really wish they’d bring this back to life.

Doesn't work

The app doesn't do anything. Doesn't play radio. Doesn't play programs are podcasts. Just shows perpetual buffering spinner. All my other streaming apps start instantly and play smoothly.
