## Review summary

Users celebrate NTS RADIO for its rich, human-curated music content, a clean UI, and active developer support that adds features like track saving and live listings. However, the app struggles with stability and playback reliability, including frequent crashes and sound dropouts. Many users also report missing or broken core features such as rewind/seek, persistent history, and smooth casting to external devices. Additional complaints include poor navigation with limited date filtering and battery drain on iOS. Overall, content quality shines, but app reliability needs significant improvement.

### Pros

- Rich, diverse, human-curated music content and programs (live channels and DJ sets).
- Clean, intuitive UI and good cross-platform usability (works well on desktop).
- Active developer responsiveness with bug fixes and feature updates.
- Features that aid discovery, like saving tracks and live track listings in updates.

### Cons

- Frequent stability issues: crashes and audio dropouts during playback.
- Inability to rewind/seek within a show; scrubbing is not supported.
- Playback history is not persistent and often resets.
- Casting to external devices (Chromecast/AirPlay) is broken or missing.
- Navigation/search limitations (no date-based filtering; some playback interruptions during navigation).
