Crap App
Constantly malfunctions. Constant interruptions in the middle of programming for “commercial breaks” otherwise known as requests for donations over and above the ones that air during the programming. You will miss out on the most relevant part of the story
Never updates
I always have to update it but it never updates. I have to do this over and over again.
PURE CRAP!
Twice the commercial interruptions. The programming is interrupted at random intervals typically when critical information is about to be disclosed. Annoying and frustrating to the maximum degree. In less than 30 minutes there have been 6 unnecessary interruptions-the same commercial every time. Quite remarkable for a “self-styled” commercial free station-supported by listeners.
Needs a few improvements
Use this daily but needs two improvements: 1) should turn for landscape view 2) requires update almost every time I launch. Not sure why as it only opens App Store but doesn’t have to download a lot.
Clunky
Needs work to make it less clunky. Every time I open the app, it tells me I can’t use it until I update it, but there isn’t an update to install. It finally opens after several extra steps. Quality content as always.
Only works when iPad unlocked
Love the concept but it has stopped working properly. It shuts off every time my iPad screen locks. I have restarted, deleted and re-installed multiple times but it still shuts off. I don’t want my screen open.
CarPlay Support Removed
Why did the new version remove CarPlay support!?! That was a key feature.
