Ratings and Reviews
Some Simple changes and bug fixes would make this a four-star
I’m glad to have the ability to listen to over the air radio on my phone, but this app could use some work.
A) The news articles on the landing screen should have the option to listen to the story without having to go to the website.
B) The bottom of the screen with the play control covers up the link to the Npr website and in some cases it impossible to click to go to the website.
The play button at the bottom of the screen seems to be completely useless since you have to go to View the website version in order to listen to the story, and ironically the play button covers up that link
Very disappointed
My husband and I have been supporters of WPR for a very long time because I am an avid fan of Chapter A Day. (My parents listened to the program during the school day back in the 1940s and 50s!) The update is so different and not accommodating. I try to listen each day during the broadcast time but sometimes can’t. Before the update, I could find the program later in the afternoon or evening and listen and keep up with the story. Now I must wait at least until the next day and sometimes Monday of the following week to listen. I don’t like the Main Page at all. I can’t get to the choices I want. The previous Home Page worked well. I also encounter many of the same buffering problems and get “kicked off” the program when I pause. It’s not that I’m an older adult not navigating the site well. The previous format made sense and was easy to use. I feel my choices are limited, now. At least when I go to Florida this winter I can TRY to keep up with the stories. Thank you for continuing Chapter A Day all these years. It’s just harder to enjoy, now.
On Demand 5 stars, Listen Live 2 stars
LOVE the On Demand section. The lineup of WPR and national programs is outstanding. The live streams, though... 🤦♀️. The initial promo/Info spiel at launch can be absurdly long (don’t count on catching all the top-of-the-hour news unless you launch the app well ahead of time), the feed is unreliable, and ID spots sometimes break randomly into programs rather than at the standard breaks. I have superfast WiFi and robust cell service, and my phone is my radio, so the buggy performance is maddening. I have the WNIJ, WBEZ, and WBUR apps on my phone so I can switch when the WPR app lets me down.
