### 4/5 — Good app, just one issue.

*2020-07-17, version 4.4.58*

Love the app, works great except for one thing with the new update. When listening to it, when receiving a phone call, the app use to pause the show, and pick up when the call is over. Now it just closes the app, and you lose where you were. If the can fix that issue, it’d be perfect.

### 4/5 — Too slow

*2020-04-16, version 4.4.40*

Too busy, too slow. Don’t want a page full of story graphics that are slow to load and too easily activated. Please move the live stream much closer to initial loading.

### 5/5 — NPR in my pocket

### 1/5 — WGCU

*2021-07-22, version 4.5.13*

I used to love this app, but lately it has started crashing all the time. Sometimes it recovers within a minute, sometimes it repeatedly crashes, sometimes it does not recover. Help!!!

### 1/5 — Will not play

As functional as a stone.

### 1/5 — I use to love this app

I need my NPR!
Please, Please fix

### 2/5 — Live streaming erratic

*2019-09-05, version 4.4.9*

The newest update makes it crash whenever I want to add a new station.

### 2/5 — Frustrating at times

The live broadcast "buffers" more than any other live streaming app I have used. This leads to missing often critical parts of the broadcast.

But not what I need thank you
