GBH News users praise strong local reporting, credible national content, and the app’s versatility across live audio, articles, and video. Many rely on it daily for news and weather, and several note improvements in the UI and easier access to recent episodes. However, recurring issues dominate: streaming reliability is a major pain point, with frequent drops, looping playback, and short repeats.
