PAINFULLY Sloooooooooow – WBUR Review

12-18-17 Didn’t think it could get worse but it does. Forever to load, refresh screen sometimes takes 40 seconds. Horrible. Starts stops, crashes frequently. Have deleted and reloaded many times. WBUR, how many notices and bad reviews does it take for you to fix this. This is an ongoing issue for 2+ years. This phone is an iPhone 6S Plus with 128Gb of storage. All other apps are fine. This is the exception. Please FIX! P.S. I am a software engineer. This is embarrassing to an otherwise fine station. I love-hate this app. Great to have time shifting and saving of favorite programs. BUT why is the interface still SLOW. It takes sometimes 30 to 40 seconds to get past the loading/buffering phase. Can’t change or update UI during this time or even be sure the button press was registered. Come on, this should be trivial to fix. Trying to scroll is a painful exercise. No excuse. This is the only app on my iPhone 6 Plus that does this. 32016-Previous versions were more consistent. Now audio stream frequently is get in never ending fragments of continuous repeats. Please fix, very annoying!0
