Recent reviews

This app interrupts the broadcast news content at random intervals with advertisements which play over top of the news broadcast. I've missed important news when these ads interrupt. I would gladly pay a fee to not hear ads but that is not an option. I can't believe OPB has sunk so low.

App is way too sensitive, and is always starting over with the commercial. When I listen to other NPR sources, like KUOW, it's solid as a rock. Something in error with OPB app. Running 4.0.5-rc.1
