Alarm clock?
On the radio it was mentioned that the app had an alarm clock, and while I see the alarm clock icon in the Apple Store preview image, I don’t have the feature on my app. Is it no longer available? This is a feature I’d happily pay for!
Sounds great, try it out
I love The Current, and the app works great! I was just listening for hours with AirPods and the sound quality was good, with no drop outs.
Like the current don’t like the app
The app disconnects on a regular basis, so you have to restart your phone to get it to work again very frustrating. Of course this happens during one of your favorite songs.
Garbage
Hardly ever works. Waste a lot of time attempting to stream this station. Gonna listen to records instead
Terrible Audio Quality
Remember 64kbps MP3s, RealPlayer, or AM radio? That’s what this sounds like. The content, the DJs, the playlist — none of it matters if it sounds like junk. We’re all surrounded by devices capable of high-quality audio everywhere, from headphones to home stereos, even to smart home voice assistants. This sounds awful, MPR. Your listeners deserve better.
I haven’t been able to use the app in moths
is this app still working? I haven’t had access to it in months. I love listening and can stream, but prefer the app.
Love the Current but app has poor sound quality
I love being able to access the Current from another state, but about a week or so ago the sound quality of the app went dramatically downhill. It’s very “tinny”… and the change is noticeable because quality used to be much higher. It’s almost too bad to listen to, but I’ll keep trying for a while longer.
