Love the app!

I’ve been listening to NPR since the early 1980’s. Started listening to WNIJ in the 1990’s and when I found the app I loaded it. So handy, and having the ability to hear a show podcast is wonderful. I support WNIJ and intend to continue listening to the station via the app. Great work!

Unstable stream

Suddenly stops streaming, and restarts itself with the WHOLE intro blurb b4 returning to the program. Then, this cycle repeats again and again. I have NO way of listening than by streaming. I have tried removing the app and re-downloading. VERY Frustrating! Can't listen to the station I $upport!! Am I the only one w this prob?! HELP please ...

Love this app

Keep up the good work!

My morning go to

Love WNIJ and the people there who provide my morning updates. It’s how I know what’s going on in the world!

Never reliable

Given the importance of accurate news these days, it’s a profound shame that this app will not deliver consistent service to keep listeners informed. This app constantly cuts out at purely random times then cuts back in replaying a 15-second loop of broadcast until I just shut it down in frustration. Awful.
