I love GBH but this app is trash. Get the NPR One app instead and select GBH as your stream and listen there instead (and access other great NPR content as well.) Show more

I love WGBH, but this app forces me to go to WBUR for most of my listening. The only time I actually use it is during Jim and and Margery’s show. It is so unclear to me how an app can be so bad in the year 2022. Even sitting in my house it constantly drops the stream and has to pick up again, each time repeating the darn tag line. I’ve learned that if I want to walk around my house and keep listening uninterrupted I have to turn Wi-Fi off. I simply don’t understand how every other radio station can handle technology, but this one can’t! Show more

Often it plays the initial ad and then just hangs. When it does work there are 10-15 second blank times. You can’t go back to hear what you missed. PS the WBUR app work just fine, including being able to go back over something you want to hear again. Why can’t GBH provide the same? Show more

App stops streaming more often than not. Despite app being updated, its live stream is more off than on. I live in MA so this is not a distance issue. You should be able to do better than this, WGBH. Show more

Whether I’m on mobile data or Wi-Fi it constantly drops for no reason. I do not have the same issue with other streaming apps, including the other Boston radio app, WERS. It rots when Scott Simon or Margery suddenly drips mid-sentence. Thank you. Show more

This app has been glitchy for years. Won’t be donating till they fix it, as it’s the main way I listen.

Welcome to the 1990s

Used to mostly work. But the live stream is now unavailable/so flaky as to be useless. Very disappointing and it means I listen to this station *much* less these days.

Very annoying , the audio keeps shutting down , then buffering for a long time and not able to download. Please fix that app

I love listening to GBH especially since I moved out of the range of the station but this app is so frustrating! It drops all the time and then buffers so long I end up canceling the app and restarting it so I can listen to the station again. I am a regular donor to GBH. Please update the app!!! Show more

A request: please make the GBH app compatible with Apple CarPlay, the way the CRB app already is. That would make it easier to listen and keep up with GBH News. Show more

Love WGBH, but I’m in Maine and stream it through this app…BUT that’s only when the streaming works. It is a glitchy mess. Sometimes you can listen for an hour, then it glitches out and won’t play, or an alert comes up with “audio problem”. Sometimes you will get 5 min. Then it happens again. At that point you need to close out of the app, wait 5-10 min. And try again. I make sure my phone is updated, app updated. No other issues with other apps, only this one. Please fix this!!

What has happened to public radio? There are as many annoying advertisements as there are on conventional AM/FM, corporately owned, stations. How the mighty have fallen.

This app is my standby local news radio app. I’ve been so disappointed in the last few months when it will not load audio. It has not worked since around October. I’ve tried contacting support but it isn’t available through the app. Please fix! Show more

Ever since I’ve had this app there are regular interruptions of no sound. I’ve had the app for years. No other video, live stream etc does this except for zoom. Does anyone else have this problem? Show more

This app is glitchy and at times, unreliable. It cuts out for seconds at a time. Very annoying particularly when a guest is in the middle of an important response!

This is a great news app, especially for listening to the local station. However, the layout of the app makes it impossible to see the full article title before clicking. Makes for a poor user experience since you don’t know the story you’re clicking into. Show more

It is absolutely terrible. It goes off constantly.

I want to stream 89.7 BPR at work but can’t ever get it to los. The data and wifi are abundant where I am so it is not that. Fix this please! Show more

Very annoying--streaming cuts out frequently, requiring reboot, but often it simply will not reload. This happens occasionally with other stations, but not nearly as often as WGBH. I listen to a lot of NPR, on both WGBH and also WBUR. I like WGBH for best local coverage of Greater Boston and also Boston Public. But I usually listen only to WBUR when streaming on iPhone because this WGBH app stinks. The only exception: when WBUR is ( much too frequently) fundraising, I cannot tolerate listening to that. And I am a monthly contributor to both. Show more
