Very confusing
Signed up for GPB and “donated” in order to access Passport programming. Watching on my ipad using gpb.org I can watch but can’t Chromecast to my TV, but on the app I can Chromecast but can’t watch Passport programs. Frustrating isn’t the word….
Has bugs
If you pause the app automatically closes and you lose your place and cant rewind back to where you were.

This app is spectacular…all that amazing content on demand. Well designed and easy to manipulate.
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.
5/28/25. I support 4 other public radio streaming services. This app remains the least stable of them all. I hope you will continue to upgrade this very important service.

Thank you for your content.

I like surfing around the site in the mornings to pick up info…
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.

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
Clear unbiased reporting on GPB
This app is very good and is non-partisan in presenting facts.
Thank you

The NEW app is definitely a downgrade. They try to push everyone to audio and video. What happened to simply reading articles? No longer regularly use this app…..Disappointing to say the least
It works
Great shortcut to all of Public radio has to offer.
I love this station!!!
This app keeps me connected to the BEST radio station, in America. This station caters to providing us with information, in regard to what’s going on in our world, so that we may have a greater understanding, and be able to form more substantial interpretations of what’s going on!!! No bias!!!
