Love the station, updates ruined the app

I travel a lot for work and love being able to listen to my local station knowing the schedule but recent updates that changed the appearance and ways to interact with the app are less than user friendly. Too much hunting around required to find information and shows, and there is nothing worse than autoplay while investigating which show to play on demand.

I enjoy NPR

I like NPR and WRVO in particular.

This is a handy way to listen to the NPR live stream when you can’t listen to a radio.

Brilliant, uncluttered access to programming

I live in a larger market with its own public radio stations and apps. But I choose WRVO first, because the app rarely hiccups and delivers the information I need with excessive interruptions. And I support WRVO as a member for the same reasons.

The app remains buggy

The stream will stop randomly, usually at a crucial moment. There are times when this interruption is momentary but sometimes the stream is unavailable for extended periods of time. Because of this I’ve rethought my decision to make a donation.

Radio station plays well

I can't pick up a good station connection on my car radio so this app works great.

Spotty availability

There have been too many days lately when I find the app is not streaming. It’s not an issue with my device because I’ve tested the app on other devices, reloaded the app, and restarted the devices to no avail.
Thinking of discontinuing my support of WRVO since this app is the only way I can listen. If it’s not available, what’s the point?

Recent trouble

I have been using this app for years on multiple devices with no issues. Suddenly, yesterday it proved impossible to use on 3 of my devices. Nothing changed, nothing new, just the WRVO app NOT working. Please advise.

Perfect

Works well. Allows me to listen to my local NPR station and the BBC whenever and wherever I want.

Indispensable App!

The WRVO app allows me, a frequent traveler, to bring a piece of home wherever I go, for which I am immensely grateful. The app is well designed and reliable. Not only can I stream live programming without issues, but I can also catch up on programs I’ve missed through the on-demand feature. Thanks, WRVO!
