Easy to use

Gives your everything you want in your time. Live or recorded.

Easy to use

Being on the West coast and retired, I love listening to Hawaii public radio when I’ve gotten up too late to listen to my local station. I will be joining. Thank you.

UI/UX = Abomination [use radio instead]

I spend an hour taking screen shots and typing a THOROUGH (and fair) critique of this app. Sent to HPR.

Tried to contact HPR “management” several times to find “someone” who cares enough (or wasn’t too overwhelmed by other things) to respond.

Elicited one lame apology but NOTHING else—substantive or not.

SAD.

MAYBE, if NPR was not a non-profit and received NO public funding (close to 4 million dollars) and no grants (and other handouts) they’d act more like a BUSINESS that actually understands how to WORK for dollars.

Useful, but has one major flaw

I like the concept of links to podcasts of HPR shows, as well as many other shows. However, at least once per week, when I hit the string button and wait, nothing happens. I end up having to either switch off my iPhone completely and switch it back on, or uninstall the HPR app and then reinstall. So, no five-star rating for HPR! BTW, I am a sustaining member, so I listen to HPR a lot.

Love HPR

After being away from Hawaii for several years (after living here for 22 years) I am glad to find a way to reconnect.

Only station I listen too

These people put live into their work and you can tell by what you get when you tune in

Great!

Live in GA and great when hear feed five (sometimes six) hours ago, and the uniquely HPR content.

Great content, frequently unplayable

I’m in HPR member. I really wish the airport but about 25% of the time it is not playable. I close the app start again, turn off my iPhone and turn it on again, but it still won’t play.

I called tech support and didn’t get anywhere.

WiFi isn’t the problem.

Instead sometimes I just go to the podcast of the programs that I’d like to hear but I end up missing the news which is important to me.

Thanks for the wonderful HPR programming. Wish I could hear it.

Getting better all the time!

Not that I’ve experimented with the HPR updated app that much but of my favorite programming, I’m able to easily find the programs I prefer. And it’s great!

Gotta Love HPR 😍

I listen to HPR daily to keep up on current issues and events, as well as to unwind at the end of the day. Thanks so much for having such a great radio station!!!
