Obnoxious Name Change
Michigan Public Radio apparently needed to justify the existence of a marketing team who thinks simplifying themselves to “Michigan Public” will somehow enhance their branding. It hasn’t. Instead, it’s made this app impossible to find via the most logical keyword. I’m sure a new team will be installed in 2-3 years whereupon they will change it back.
United StatesRecent problem
The stream stops playing when you go to another app or even just to your Home Screen on the iPhone. This was a problem years ago that had been fixed for a long time. But the problem is back again. Makes it much less convenient to stream Mi Public.
United StatesThe name came branding change needs to be reverted back.
I am a VERY long time supporter of Michigan Radio, and for a variety of reasons am extremely disappointed by the rebranding of a storied institution, and will no longer support this station and company. Please fire the agency that presented this idea, and return to the name we all know and trust.
United StatesThe redesign is terrible
Functions inside the app open up a web browser?!? What’s the point of an app if you’re going to push me to a webpage? Functionality I used all the time seems to have disappeared The app is virtually useless. The rebranding to Michigan Public from Michigan Radio is awful. Whoever you’re using for this guidance should be fired.
United StatesGreat App, wish it would go into landscape mode on my iPad.
I’ve used this app for years, especially when I travel to connect with Michigan Radio, so far, anywhere in the world. My sole gripe is that it only presents in portrait mode on my iPad, making it awkward on my landscape-configured iPad. Surely this isn’t a difficult thing to include in future revisions?
United StatesFix the buffering!
This is unlistenable in its current state. I miss my functioning Michigan Radio App.
United StatesBuffering problems for years
The app would be fantastic except for the buffering issues. Doesn’t matter if I switch devices or if I’m on cellular or Wi-Fi. The app doesn’t stay connected to the stream very well. When you start to stream there’s a message about organizations that make Michigan Radio possible. The biggest problems with the buffering is that it replays this message every time it disconnects/buffers even if you just heard it 30 seconds ago. So frequently when I’m listening to a story I miss it because I’m listening to the same message repeated over and over. Very frustrating.
