User Reviews

Users praise the app for easy access to local and NPR news and strong content, but repeatedly report stability and playback issues (crashes, buffering, looping) and intrusive ads (full-screen startup ads, auto-playing ads). Live streams can fail to play, and some lock-screen controls are inconsistent. Overall, content quality is high, but reliability and ad experience need improvement.

Pros

Easy to use app to stay updated with local and national news.
High-quality journalism and varied content (local news, NPR programming, interviews).
Good listening experience with strong reception, often better than traditional radio.
Lock-screen pause/controls are available for easier listening.

Cons

Significant stability issues: frequent crashes, fails to load, and the app is not reliably reliable.
Playback problems: buffering, looping, and interruptions during audio playback.
Intrusive advertising: full-screen ads on startup/reopen and auto-playing ads that disrupt use.
Live streams sometimes do not play or are unavailable.
