User Reviews

OPB News is praised for a clean, easy-to-navigate interface, helpful features like Listen Live, bookmarks, and customizable sections, and for balanced, in-depth local reporting. Users like the reliable access to schedules, alerts, and saved stories. However, many reviews repeatedly cite reliability problems: the app frequently crashes or stops playback, audio drops or goes silent, and sponsor ads can interrupt listening. Occasional errors and load delays are also noted. Overall sentiment is positive about content and design, but inconsistent listening performance is the main issue affecting usability.

I deleted this app again probably forever. I can never get rid of the reminder to go to the app and find out what it wants me to do. I cannot tie the me to the app for it to knowI am already a sustainer. It makes me so mad I’m ready give my money to someone else. The only thing I can think is that the only way to get rid of the reminder is to give them money through the app. Done, done, done!

I am listening on the app for the first time in a while and now I cannot use some other apps while listening to live stream! Specifically, play stops every time I open the Amazon app. I usually love using this OPB but now am very disappointed.
