Frequent Annoying Interruptions
This app is easy to use and specific programs are easy to find. I’d normally give it 5 stars. HOWEVER, when I listen for long periods of time, the programming is frequently and randomly interrupted to tell me who the sponsor of the streaming is and to provide details about that business or organization. Again, these announcements would be fine EXCEPT for the fact that they interrupt an ongoing program, the next several seconds of which you miss the program. Countless times these announcements interrupt the program at a critical point, causing me to miss information critical to the story. Even commercial radio broadcasts wait until a break in the program to insert a commercial. These interruptions in the programming on the NEPM app are essentially commercials.

Love it
It’s great to be able to listen to NPR on my phone. I really appreciate the work they do!
Nepm classical
We listen every day. Today, Saturday morning , is especially fine, with music I’ve not heard before. I love the new music and composers.
Mostly works
I don’t think the app needs to be complicated- a PLAY button is all I really need, and it has that.
My complaint is that it sometimes randomly (roughly every hour or so?), restarts the stream in the middle of a story or program, going back to the enforced ads that they place at the start of a stream. It often happens at a critical point in wait wait don’t tell me, and when you get the stream back, it’s at a later point, and you’ve missed the joke.
It might help if they dropped the enforced ads at the state, since you get all the same ads on the stream, dropping them would not be a big deal IMHO.
