Makes listening so easy.

### 3/5 — How buggy are thou? Let me count the ways…

*2022-09-14*

How thee crashes and crashes and crashes yet again. Verily thy ad about streaming support doth play far too oft and for too long.  Frequently have I deleted and reinstalled the post a persistent crash from which it doth refuse to recover.

### 4/5 — Useful!

*2022-08-09*

I use the NHPR app while traveling so I don’t have to search out other NPR stations. Definitely saves my aggravation during a long drive

### 5/5 — First time user

*2022-07-19*

I usually listen on the radio. Today that wasn’t possible so tried the app. Works great!

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2022-05-20, version 4.5.36*

I love NHPR and the app.  It keeps me connected to NHPR whether I’m in NH, VT or Ohio (and beyond).

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2022-03-16*

Very easy to use. A quick way to listen to the radio :)

### 3/5 — App needs work

*2022-03-01*

I love NHPR, but almost every day I have to delete and reinstall the app for lack of access. Sometimes several times a day! This is especially frustrating if there is something I want to catch right away or continue after listening in the car. For NPR news programs, I often have to listen to maine public because it is more accessible!  I live in Durham and contribute monthly to nhpr. Good luck with improvements’
