Very frustrating ### 5/5 — Longtime listener *2026-03-01, version 7.3.2* Connecticut public is my go to station every morning and all day. CT public prevals truth decay and satisfies my appetite for inspiration and knowledge with its diverse menu. ### 5/5 — does what you expect *2025-11-16, version 6.3.8* shows articles, plays audio, and can watch from this app ### 5/5 — Great way to get local news *2025-03-11, version 6.2.30* I use the CT Public mobile app daily to listen to WNPR live, to stream my favorite podcasts, and also my kids love the PBS kids games. It’s convenient to have all the radio and TV shows in one place! ### 3/5 — It’s MEH *2024-03-25, version 4.6.28* It’s clunky and takes a while to load. When I click listen, I just want to listen to a live stream. I don’t want to have a choice of all the other shows that are available. At that point, I get frustrated and move on. I have found myself listening to Connecticut Public Radio and public radio in general far less since the institution of this app. Now I just listen in my car and I’m not not in my car all that much. ### 5/5 — Just what I wanted! *2024-02-26, version 4.6.28* This app is user friendly and has been glitch-free. Now I don’t have to sit in my car to finish listening! I appreciate this app as an option. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-01-01, version 4.6.28* Nice app and thrilled to be able to listen to Connecticut Public Radio on demand ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2023-04-08, version 4.5.75* Keeps crashing ### 5/5 — It works *2022-02-27, version 4.5.44* Great to Stream Our local public radio. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2021-10-14, version 4.5.26* I love CT public radio and am an avid listener. I love to listen during my commute. I recently switched to using the app while driving so I can also use gps on my phone at the same time. I frequently have difficulty starting the broadcast using the app. It will freeze, hang and take multiple attempts with force closing to get it started. It will also just quit at times. All this leaves me messing around with my phone far more than I should be while driving. ## Frequently asked questions about The Connecticut Public App ### What can I watch and listen to on this app?
