What I don’t understand is that this app used to be able to cache the livestream. The user could pause, rewind and fast-forward to catch up, so we *know* it’s possible. This functionality disappeared around the pandemic (when it was still the KPCC app.) Why torture those of us who are information junkies (and pay $100s to LAist) by taking this functionality away? Is it so you could pump every restart with a contributor’s ‘ad’ (which, coincidentally, got more aggressive around the time the caching functionality disappeared and the app became prone to crashing..?) Please tell us this isn’t a ‘cash grab’ effort by a PUBLIC radio affiliate, gone wrong?! As an end-user who misses content constantly because of app crashes, I can tell you it has the opposite effect: having to listen to the same sponsorship ‘ad’ before you can get back to the content you are missing simply gives one a negative association with that contributor statement. Please bring *back* caching functionality!
