App only lets you listen parts of C-SPAN

I donโ€™t know why you promote the app on your channel if it partially plays the radio? Please fix this issue.

Unreliable

It randomly stops playing, randomly closes, randomly crashes.

Keeps crashing

Every 5-10 mins it stops and I have to go into the app and restart it. WHY? Please fix this bug!
When you do Iโ€™ll post a new review. Thank you

Want to love but it keeps crashing

Iโ€™m really enjoying being able to listen to this radio while having the screen off and letting it run while I do my work. But too often it crashes. It frequently pauses on its own and wonโ€™t resume unless I get back into the app and re-enter the stream. Other times it will just crash out of the app completely. Itโ€™s very frustrating and defeats the purpose of having it stream with the screen off. If that bug could be fixed, that would greatly improve the experience of the app.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoy listening with your screen off, but sorry you are having to re-launch the stream or the app. We'd like our users' experience to be as smooth as possible and will have our development team investigate any stability issues.

Buggy app for live streams

Constantly disconnects and pauses when in the app or outside the app.

Latest update makes app unusable

I loved the app before the latest update, but now the stream cuts out after one minute or so and must be manually restarted in order to continue playing the content. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING such that I no longer want to use the app. I hope this is fixed quickly, however, because C-Span is my source of unfiltered information about what is happening in our nationโ€™s capital.

Save currently played podcast episode and position within it between app launches

The app has a wonderful set of lectures/interviews that one can download on the iPhone before going for a walk. Unfortunately, unlike built-in Apple Podcasts, the app does not remember what was the episode that was playing when user exited the app, nor the position within that episode. As a workaround, user can always make screenshots of the app before exit, to remember the name and exact position within the listened episode. It would be nice if the app saved this data between launches. Thank you.

Communicates

I have a program running that I cannot close.

Broken for blind users

The current version of this app is pretty much totally broken for blind users of the iPhone. Most the buttons are unlabeled and in the past this app is work perfectly fine. It is very disappointing that upgrade was so badly damaged an app for blind users.
Thank you

Good for Democracy

I am happy that this is available since I have unplugged from cable and without this I would not have access to c-span at all.
