Review summary

Users praise Vermont Public app for its excellent VPR content, especially classical music and news, and better experience than other public radio apps. However, many report significant issues including frequent crashes, poor handling of network changes leading to lost signals and interruptions, intrusive ads, playback problems, and unresponsive controls. Despite these, the app is valued for bringing Vermont's programming to listeners anywhere and its calming music selection.

Pros

Excellent programming and content quality, especially for classical music and news.
Provides access to Vermont Public Radio (VPR) from anywhere, including out of state.
Better user experience compared to other public radio apps like NPR, WGBH, and WBUR.
Variety of on-demand programs and features available.
Hosts and music selection are pleasant and calming.

Cons

App frequently crashes or shuts down randomly during use.
Connectivity handling is poor, with the app losing signal when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular or in dead zones.
Audio playback issues such as stuttering, failure to recover after signal loss, and not saving playback position in on-demand shows.
Intrusive and frequent advertisements, especially on reconnecting, which interrupt listening experience.
Unresponsive interface, slow reactions to user input, and usability issues like difficult navigation in program listings.
