Frustrating
I love NPR and listen to it on and off all day. I switched to the app because of poor radio reception . However, the station identification interruptions in the middle of programs (seemingly always when someone is making a critical point!) and sudden failures have almost driven me away. I prefer to support my local NPR station -especially now-but am running out of goodwill.

Too many interruptions
Not having a radio, I rely on the app to listen to my favorite npr shows, such as all things considered. Lately the station identifications are frequent and take away from my enjoyment of the content. I am a sustaining member.
Enough with the UHS ads
I appreciate that this is a free service but I’ve switched back to the NPR app because when using the WSKG app, if your mobile coverage changes in any way, the opening ad replays. So if you’re driving in an area with bad coverage, the program you’re listening to is CONSTANTLY interrupted and that annoying UHS ad is replayed. I’m talking 4-5 times in 60 seconds.
Until that gets fixed, I’m not using it.

Still loses signal
Good: it’s now more obvious what to click
Bad: The app has trouble handling the handoff from wifi to cell service. It goes on pause, and pressing play doesn’t always work.
It also goes on pause occasionally for no obvious reason, even in areas with strong cell signal. Again, manually pushing play may or may not work until the app is good and ready to restart.

When it works, it’s great, but when it doesn’t…
I love and support WSKG. I listen to WSKG radio on the app. You have to press a forward arrow button to start it, then 2 bars gradually turn white as it loads. Then the radio is audible. Recently it’s back to its age old issue of not starting at all. I hard restarted my iPhone and that didn’t solve the problem. I deleted and downloaded the app again. Nothing.
