User Reviews

Users generally like the app for its clean UI and access to C-SPAN radio and podcasts, and appreciate updates that restore functionality. However, reliability is inconsistent; crashes and playback issues, poor Android version compatibility, and UI gaps like missing schedules persist. Some users also face audio restrictions when using CSPAN Now and battery/background problems. Overall, the app is valuable but needs stability and compatibility improvements to deliver a consistent listening experience.

Pros

Clean, organized layout with no ads.
Access to C-SPAN radio audio streams and podcast library.
Generally reliable and informative when it works.
Updates fix issues and improve stability.

Cons

Crashes and instability, especially on Android 14 and after updates.
Some channels won't play audio or the app won't open.
Channel schedules are not displaying correctly in the app.
CSPAN Now's video-focused model or cable requirements limit pure audio listening.
Significant battery drain and background activity; notification issues.

I love this app. it's not working now though. I've tried all debugging and cannot get it to play. we cannot switch to cspan now because it's not available in android audio because it's a video player app, so please either come out with a solution for Google to allow the cspan now app to allow it for android auto or continue to support the radio app as well.
