## Description

The MPR Radio Chrome extension no longer provides listening. This page informs users that all listening features have moved to standalone MPR apps: MPR News, YourClassical, The Current, and Carbon Sound.

For continued access, download the new apps today at mpr.org/app to enjoy the same stations and programs across devices.

## Review summary

Reviewers praise MPR Radio for quality content and helpful MN-focused news and weather, plus the ability to stream daily while traveling. However, recurring issues dominate: the app is often unstable, with crashes, freezes, and splash screen hangs; UI is hampered by oversized text and hard-to-find playback controls; CarPlay/Maps integration can break; and performance worsens after iOS updates on newer devices. Overall, strong content value but reliability and usability need improvement.

### Pros

- Rich, varied content including MPR/NPR streams, news, and music variety
- Helpful for travelers and those away from home to stay connected with MN and global news
- Daily streaming of MPR content and curated streams

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and streaming interruptions (crashes, freezes, drops)
- App sometimes fails to load or gets stuck on a white splash screen
- UI issues due to oversized fonts and hard-to-see controls
- CarPlay/Apple Maps integration breaks when Maps is active
- Performance worsens after iOS updates on newer devices (e.g., iOS 17.4.1, iPhone 15)
