Glad to have the GPB app
Having the GPB app makes it so easy for me to listen to GPB anywhere I am I connect to my Bluetooth speaker in other rooms in the house. I can use earbuds out in the yard. It’s nice to be able to listen to whatever is currently streaming or she’s any other category I want. There’s so much content that sometimes I’m a little overwhelmed in trying to find what I want but it’s nice to have all that content!

Middle of the road
I’m not sure exactly what part of GPB I’m responding to here-so sorry. The app? The programming? For several years I’ve had trouble finding what is on and when but that is with the app or without it. I’m a contributor and get the monthly mag but things change. I think it’s the specificity with which I canNOT search GPB.
NPR has also changed its app navigation as well as some features I’ve come to rely on. Now, I find the NPR app just plain hard to use compared with 2-3 years ago.
The “live” NPR button is gone! So I’m driving along, listening to NPR in my car, drive into the garage and want to continue hearing the program. Until recently I would immediately pick up my iPhone NPR app hit “live” and continue listening. Now there is a disconnect as I sit in my garage trying to find the program I’ve been listening to in my car. Rarely to I find the program. Seems like the Savannah GPB/NPR station has just vanished? I appreciate you asking. Listening to NPR is a daily source of frustration I’ve not experienced until maybe six months ago.

GPB app
There are randomly occurring PSAs that interrupt programs. Also, more than once, there is radio silence that lasts for minutes to hours. Downloading the app anew does not remedy this sudden silence. Also, when transitioning from a home network to mobile roaming, the app has to be reopened.
12/6. My prior comment remains relevant. The “updates “ to this app have not remedied these issues. If anything, the issue of a frozen transmission when transitioning from home wi-go to mobile is worse. The only fix is to delete the app and reload it. I access four other public radio apps, none of which have these issues.

Mobile
Super easy to enjoy all the things that GPB radio offers, wherever I am.
Performance
Sometimes the show will not stay on and I need to reboot phone or reinstall
Buggy app; GPB lacks good content
GPB cancelled its popular Political Rewind show under pressure from CancelCulture GOP operatives. The app is incredibly buggy and makes it hard to listen. 2 stars
Essential
The news programs on GPB are an essential part of my life. Lately our radio stations do not come in, so I am grateful to have a streaming alternative.
Seems to need frequent refresh
I listen to radio a lot, using an fm radio, Alexa device and my iPhone. On iPhone I use the GPB and NPR apps. The GPB ap seems to need to refresh itself fairly often and randomly interrupts programs with repeats of its station identification
