## Review summary

Users praise the WSKG Public Media App for access to NPR/WSKG content (radio and TV) and for being a free, convenient way to stay informed. However, reviews repeatedly cite playback interruptions caused by ads/identifications, unstable live streaming with crashes and restarts, and poor handoff between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Some usability bugs (non-intuitive menus, watch tab crashes, startup issues) also appear. Overall, content quality is strong, but reliability and UX need improvement.

### Pros

- Access to NPR/WSKG content in one app (radio and TV)
- Free to use for streaming
- High-quality, varied programming
- Convenient, all-in-one platform for radio and TV content

### Cons

- Frequent ads and sponsor/identification interruptions interrupting listening (including ad replays during poor connectivity)
- Streaming is unstable: frequent crashes, restarts, and difficulty starting the live stream
- Poor handling of network handoffs between Wi-Fi and cellular: pauses and failed resumes on connectivity changes
- UX issues and bugs: non-intuitive menus, watch tab crashes, occasional startup problems
