App stops playing after10-15 minutes

App stops after 10-15 minutes an has to be opened and hit play again and again. I add m a member of HPR.

Love NPR, Love Most of the App

Love NPR, and love how organized and well-designed this app is. The links are WAY too sensitive though. Like, you’re trying to scroll, and it’s almost impossible not to open something you don’t mean to open. Otherwise, beautiful app and beautiful content. Mahalo.

It’s okay, but you’ll never know what you’re listening to.

The app itself works well, if you just want to listen to music or read the news on the app. However, if you want to find out what is currently being played on the radio by HPR, it’s almost impossible to find out. The music-playing bar at the bottom says “currently playing” and give us the name of the program, but does not give the title of the song, which, unless you want to use a music-identifying app, is kind of irrelevant.

Sub optimal

Can never get or recover the driveway moments as promised by the app. Invariably, the program is not listed or cannot show the content to get me to the missed sections. Been a sustaining member for 15 years but really, you would think the app would be better

Great station

The only station worth listening to. I appreciate all the hosts and the

Have HPR with me wherever I go

I use the app all the time. Streaming on my devices at home streaming from my phone when I’m out and about. Took it with me to the East Coast of the continent when I was on travel stay in touch with local news.

Driveway moments

I’ve always loved driveway moments as a time to relax and switch gears but with longer more complex reporting I have to admit I sometimes need to get moving before I really done listening. The app has been a godsend. I connect in my car and continue listening uninterrupted. It so much more convenient than trying to find the report after the fact. Mahalo

Too sensitive

I find it impossible to scroll through the app. The lightest touch whips me away to my browser and whatever topic the app selected. This doesn’t happen with other apps, so there must be a way to de-sensitize your app.

No dark mode; too easy to mistap to open browser

There is no dark mode. That makes it hard to use in the night.

After the change to the layout of the stories, it is now far too easy to open a browser unintentionally.

Still Great!

Still live in GA and great when hear feed from five (sometimes six) hours earlier, and the uniquely HPR content.

Hi

Awsome!!!!!!???

I love HPR but I wish the app was more friendly to use in the car

I love HPR but I wish the app was more friendly to use in the car. Please improve the functionality in cars

Radio in the palm of my hand!

I mainly listen to HPR while driving so it’s nice to be able to go back and listen to an episode or musical piece that I like. Having it archived here is awesome because I can share it with friends too! Also love the listen live feature because I am not always by my radio but always have my phone with me. Thank you HPR!

Once was great, now awful

Lately, HPR-2 has been ruined with constant short gaps in the music. Additionally the commercial interruptions that start with, “Support for streaming provided by…” now interrupt the programming frequently, sometimes two at a time. Together, these changes have ruined what once was my go-to source for local classical music. There’s no transmitter on Kauai, so it’s the app or nothing for most of us.

Excellent App

Now listening from Bangkok, Thailand. My favorite Honolulu programs sound the same as when we are home.
The lovely music calms me and makes me feel close to home.
❤️🙏🍀🌈😎

My Island Jams!

Great to have the aloha sound with me on the mainland!

Great!

I love HPR and the ease of use as well!

Awesome!

I always listen to HPR when I’m driving but didn’t even think about downloading the app. No regret when I did. I’m able to listen to it Live wherever I go.

Discrepancy between streaming and live programming

Love the app, but doesn’t always work well..Cuts out sometimes and music interrupted mid stream by station promotions.

there seems to be a delay between live programming on the radio and streaming on my phone via the app, which results in missing the continuous thread of the music. Really frustrating when you’re listening in the car and then want to continue w same program on your phone while shopping, but it sounds like they have different programming on app than on the radio. However, it’s great if you simply want good music with you always...
