The app has a live stream as well as links to past shows and news. Definitely worth it to get news about Connecticut. ### 5/5 — App works well for me *2020-03-20, version 4.4.33* I have not had any issues with the app crashing ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-03-20, version 4.4.33* I love this app! It is so easy to use! I love being able yo take NPR with me wherever I go!!! ### 5/5 — NPR at my convenience *2020-03-06, version 4.4.33* Love having the ability to keep listening even when I’m not in the car! ### 5/5 — Love cptv *2019-11-03, version 4.4.26* Now I can take it wherever I go ### 5/5 — Convenient and easy to use *2019-11-01, version 4.4.26* I am happy to have the new and easy access to all things CT Public. ### 5/5 — Great access to local npr/pbs *2019-10-12, version 4.4.17* This app is easy to navigate and a great way to to get to your favorite local public media. ### 5/5 — Great local news and stories *2019-08-23, version 4.4.17* I’m a member of Connecticut Public and it is great to get the local news, podcasts and be able to watch CPTV all in one place. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2023-04-08, version 4.5.75* Keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Opens but no sound on IOS 13.5 *2020-06-02, version 4.4.54* As the subject header says... WSHU uses the same type of app; No problems. ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2020-01-30, version 4.4.33* Another terrible scam to make you believe you will be able to watch at least a few programs without paying. There is nothing public or kind about asking ordinary (not rich) people to pay for your good interviews and educational tv. ### 1/5 — Quit working *2019-10-31, version 4.4.26* I downloaded this to my iPad mini and it was great for 2 weeks then quit working. I deleted and reinstalled 3 times to no avail. Now have it on my iPhone but that’s not where I really want it. Bummer. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t update! *2026-07-06, version 7.3.2* The programs I listen to don’t update on the app so I end up going to the show’s websites to hear the latest episodes. Very frustrating ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Needs Chromecast support *2021-03-23, version 4.5.10* This app gets better all the time. A much needed addition is Chromecast support so we can listen via Google Home speakers and devices. I hope you can add this in an update very soon! I would give this app 5 stars if it had this feature. ### 3/5 — App continually crashes *2020-01-30, version 4.4.33* I rely on CT Public for news local-national-international, and for connection to the many world cultures. Especially during the Impeachment hearings, reliability of continuous connection is essential. I have the app on new devices and old. It sporadically crashes for no discernible reason. No other apps I use behave with this unreliability. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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 ### 5/5 — It works *2022-02-27, version 4.5.44* Great to Stream Our local public radio. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-02-23, version 4.4.67* Easy to use app; great quality programming. ### 5/5 — Better than the radio *2021-01-11, version 4.4.67* I quite often have a lot of problems with the radio transmission, but the app is always clear...I need my Morning Edition! ### 5/5 — Good app! Nice set up for great content! *2020-10-30, version 4.4.67* I love this app! It has a nice intuitive set up and has all the great CPTV content! ### 5/5 — Big Fan *2020-09-18, version 4.4.54* I listen to NPR whenever I am in the car or my kitchen. The app enables me to listen to CT Public when I am out of the FM signal range. Nice! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
