Loved it before the upgrade – WBUR Review

I know, I know. There's always some Luddite grouch who hates an upgrade. But this upgrade has not improved my listening experience. Just the opposite. First: That heart-shaped pitch to donate $5 EVERY time I open the is getting real tired real fast. Hey, I just donated online during the pledge drive (No one can make me feel guilty for not supporting WBUR like Tom Ashbrook.) Second: It's got all these bells and whistles but I really want the app to do just one thing. Stream my favorite radio station live. And It doesn't do that anymore. If I turn it off (because I'm taking a phone call, or because I'm just not into whatever is playing) and then turn it back on, it starts the stream at the exact point it left off. In other words, it's no longer live. I have to close the app and reopen it in order to get it to be 'live' again. Being forced to take an extra step to do a simple function is the hallmark of an over-designed upgrade. I'd love to love this app as much as I love WBUR but I wish I hadn't upgraded.
