Buggy
Worked well for the first few years, but now it’s extremely buggy. I reported the issues twice, only to be told to do all the things I had already done to fix it. They might as well have told me to turn it off and back on again. I don’t think they care.
Love being able to find shows and to listen live!
New to the area, but having a great NPR station makes it feel more like home already
Enjoy listening to 91.1 Classical
I love being able to listen to music on my phone. The only reason I don’t give this app 5 stars is because I would like to see a playlist, in addition to the song currently playing. I do like that the current song info is displayed.
Does not work
The stream constantly breaks down, requiring the user to restart the app. Incredibly frustrating!
Consistently Fails
Every time I use this app, it stalls. Not every 5th time or once a week. It’s every single time. The only way I can get it to stream WPLN for longer than 30 seconds is to go to the App Store and open it from there. Arrrrrrghhh! It’s inconvenient and feels harmful, since WPLN and NPR have informative and balanced news programs.

Finicky Connection
Sometimes it works great, other times it loads and loads and then when playback begins it will jump back 10 seconds and behave erratically. I’ve switched over to the NPR One app due to its rock solid performance and inclusion of WPLN coverage.
Love npr
Yay
Expect it to stop and reconnect several times per hour
I love WPLN. That said, even listening on the app in the house it drops several times per hour; always restarting with ads of businesses funding WPLN.
I’ve been using the app for years and this problem has been going on the last six months. It’s also why my new default apps are for Minnesota Public Radio (KNOW), Austin, TX (KUT), and BBC radio.

Good but needs better buffering...
This is a handy app but if you pause content that you’re streaming and restart it a couple minutes later it will often start playing from your paused point in the content but after a minute or two glitches back to real time. Also the random station ID ads in the middle of programming is frustrating...Despite the shortcomings the app is still more convenient than listening via the internet or radio but YMMV.

Total improvement on the old app
Works like a dream. I heart Nashville Public Radio.
