Used to be great, now it’s terrible
Why did you ruin an app that worked well? 9 times out of 10, the Listen Now doesn’t work because it gets stuck on the Message from our sponsors and won’t play anything. It’s almost useless. I will say, the 1 time out of 10 tries when it does play, it has my favorite feature which is to pause and rewind the livestream. Which your competitor across town doesn’t have in their app.

Pop-Up Ads
A few hours after installing, this app, which represents non-profit, non commercial radio, displayed a spammy pop-up ad from one of their sponsors. I’m deleting this app now.
Stopping alarm now also stops app play
Whenever an alarm rings while I’m listening to WBUR, WBUR’s audio pauses while the alarm rings. This has been the case for a long time and is correct behavior. It used to be that when I stopped the alarm, WBUR automatically resumed playing (mostly, although every once in a while it wouldn’t resume and I would have to hit WBUR’s play button). Since the release of a couple of days ago, when I stop the alarm, WBUR *never* resumes playing. I *always* have to hit its play button, which means that I have to pick up the phone and look at it instead of just pressing one of the physical buttons on the phone without even looking. Playback fails to resume regardless of whether I hit the alarm’s stop or resume button or I stop it with a physical button. Also, it now fails to automatically resume play after being interrupted by a phone call. I can see that playback is *trying* to resume - WBUR’s play/pause button flips twice, which means that playback is resuming but then it instantly re-pauses itself. Please fix this bug!
