### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-09-22*

Thanks for this. Now we can listen to quality, objective programming any place!

### 5/5 — Always great content

*2020-09-21*

I so appreciate this app, especially since I no longer have a radio outside of my vehicle. And when I’m out of state, I can keep up with what’s happening back home.

### 5/5 — Keeps me connected

*2020-07-24*

Love to listen and the programming keeps me informed and provides a wide variety of information and opinions.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2020-07-04, version 4.4.58*

I think this is a good app. So far I haven’t had any problems using it.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-05-28, version 4.4.11*

I drive OTR, lots of times no radio signal, cell signal spotty , but I can depend on this app for my NPR! Thank you !

### 5/5 — Thanks for Getting Me Out of the Car!

*2020-03-14*

This app has allowed me to leave a compelling story on MPB and get out of the car because I can take the story with me.  For me, it works as I need for it to.  I open it and click the livestream and it’s there in a split second.  Thank you, MPB!

### 5/5 — Wonderful, quick interface and quick performance

*2019-11-15*

The interface is great as it exposes tons of good shows that I didn’t even know were in MPB. Also, it’s so very, very fast. I can open the app once I get out of the car and have the stream pick up as I am walking into the house.

### 5/5 — Love this app, I listen daily!

*2019-09-26*

I start my day with this app and would be lost without it!

*2019-07-24*

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-01-01*

I listen live as much as I can. When I can’t, I like to go back and catch up w the app. Gives me a chance to hear what I want, local or national, when I clean :).

### 5/5 — Easy to use, attractive

*2018-11-07, version 3.9.7*

Works great! I love catching up on my shows on demand.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — November 26. 2020

*2020-11-26, version 4.4.69*

Currently It WILL NOT OPEN.  My IOS is Ip To Date. Yet It Will Not Play

### 1/5 — MPB app crashes

*2016-08-07, version 3.7.37*

I have iphone 4 with OS 7.1.2. Updated MPB radio app this morning and now it crashes while loading -always. I use to listen to MPB every morning thru my phone. Will miss it. Please fix soon!

### 1/5 — Latest update is worse than before

*2016-02-10, version 3.7.14*

App isn't working even over Wifi. At least previously it would operate in the background to listen to Think Radio. Now it stops and won't restart unless the app is restarted and then still doesn't always work.

### 2/5 — MPB

*2019-09-06, version 4.4.11*

Ok...nothing great.  Crashes on my iPad routinely and have to reload.  Somewhat of a hassle.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2017-04-26, version 3.8.9*

I select the podcast I'd like to hear & get 5 seconds of it, app shuts down, & I'm returned to home screen. Also, the on demand list is small on the apps main screen.

### 2/5 — This was my favorite app

*2016-02-24, version 3.7.14*

Accidentally downloaded the new version to my iPhone. It fails to load and then crashes. Have it on my iPad and it is fine.  Hopefully it'll get better. Loved the old version on the iPhone. Listened daily.

### 2/5 — Technical difficulties

*2015-06-03, version 2.0.8*

LOVE MPB and listening to their shows, but this app needs some serious updating. Anytime I pause the show for longer than a minute or two, it restarts the app and doesn't save my spot and I am unable to scan through the episode because the scanning bar at the bottom doesn't show up with the new iOS software. So I have to listen to the entire episode from the beginning again or hit the fast forward button repeatedly. Please update!

### 3/5 — Drips on cell service

*2024-05-15*

A shared problem between ATT and the app.   Content is great.   Annoying when it won’t stay connected.

### 4/5 — Hard to find

*2020-07-30*

Shows with several episodes are hard to find again. It would be great if there was a place like on Netflix when it said, continue watching and showed the episode next in line.

### 4/5 — Great addition to my life

*2018-10-29*

This app is pretty straightforward and gives me access both to somewhat live mpb streaming, and previously played shows.  Especially love the archived Gestalt Gardener episodes.
