At Home and on the Road
Whether I’m driving, walking, or puttering, I can carry my favorite (really my only) radio station with me. When I’m out of town, I can keep up with local news as well as NPR faves like Wait Wait, On the Media, and Fresh Air.
Listen to my local on the road
I love that I can listen to The Public’s Radio while on the road. Mostly use the livestream and it works great.
Good Vibes
Informative, fun and chill. I truly appreciate my local npr station. ❤️🔥
Major upgrade, reliable access to all Publics’ Radio content
App works well for listening to live feed and new version is very reliable. Quick and easy access to recent archive content. Also allows you to click on articles to get to the main website. Really appreciate this NPR station for Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts
I would like to listen to feed directly on my HomePod but I need guidance as to what specifically to ask Siri for to get "The Publics' Radio". It can't seem to understand any of the obvious ways of describing the station.

Major upgrade, useful access to all Publics’ Radio content
Works well for listening to live feed plus quick and easy access to recent archive content.
Live streaming- it works!
It works!
Great station, easy to use app.
The sleep feature is a nice add.
Excellent
A major upgrade and a great resource.
For me, the app works as it should.
YMMV but for me, this app always turns on when I want to listen to it and stays connected the whole time. Glitchy apps piss me off but this is not one of them.
pushing two buttons is annoying
this one randomly cuts out less than the last app, however, having to push two buttons to get the live stream is not a wonderful change
Please update
I listen to RI PR constantly and like to stream it on the app. However the stream constantly cuts out every 2-3 minutes making it unbearable. Please update the app to alleviate this. A longtime sustaining member
Keeps cutting out
For as long as I’ve had this app, the audio pauses itself every few minutes. I’ll listen for a few days, then I can’t take it anymore and don’t open the app for weeks at a time. Pleas fix this bug!!!
Stream randomly cuts out
Longtime user of this app and I love how accessible it makes my local public radio station. However, the stream has recently taken to cutting out at random intervals, usually within 1-3 minutes, which is frustrating. The app hasn't been updated in ages and certainly needs continues bug squashing and refinement.

Terrible app. Please fix.
Terrible app. On my Android phone (Moto G), the stream goes silent after about 5 minutes. On my iPad, I have to kill the app to stop it from playing because its play/pause controls don’t work. Been this way for well over a year or two.
Good app
I like having the app so I can listen at work. I only wish it was apple car play compatible so I can listen to it easily in the car.
No longer interacts with Apple Music?
I love the Public’s Radio, but the app has all of a sudden stopped working with my Apple Home Pod. It’s not an issue of Wi-Fi or network as all other apps still integrate with my speakers. The only way i can broadcast it in my speakers is if i open the app on my iPhone then play it from there through the HomePod. This had been an occasional issue but has been consistent for the past few weeks. Bummer! NPR is my main news source and I enjoy the ability to play my local affiliate throughout my house. Is there an issue on my end? Or is this how it will be?

Please add a sleep timer
Love to listen to RIPR and often listen to the BBC to fall asleep. A sleep timer would make this app more useful. As it is, I either have to wake up to turn it off, or let it run all night.
Other than that, I like the app. Works great.

Very useful - please keep improving app
Thank you to RIPR for releasing a new app for iOS. It does a good job of allowing you to listen to the radio station.
Please continue to work on the app to make it a fantastic app.
- Screen rotation is not respected. This causes really strange behavior when switching between apps.
- Central pause/play button in app becomes out of sync with audio stream when system sound occurs
- The stream should auto restart after a background system sound.
Thanks.

Wait! What?
This app opens and connects quickly and easily. It then disconnects just as the story on the radio turns an important corner. This is not just a WiFi to Cellular issue. It happens on just WiFi all the time.
I have a similar issue on my Amazon Echo with the Publics Radio skill (or lack thereof!).
The best way to get RINPR is still on a radio.

Transition between WiFi and cellular needs work
The app provides great access to programming, but cannot handle the transition from Wi-Fi to cellular or cellular to Wi-Fi. Each time you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network the app stops playing. A previous review noted this issue over one year ago. It’s time to get some attention.
