While in Vermont, we fell in love with the local NPR station, and listen to it all day. I was so pleased to find the app so I can bring this awesome station with me wherever I go! I’ve not had any issues with the app’s performance, works great for me. Show more

Disconnect in content streaming or listings between app on smart TV and app on phone or IPad. App on phone and IPad is clunky; not intuitive.

Thanks VPR!

New app only shows TV schedule for main channel. VPTV Plus, Create and Kids schedule no longer shown - main reason I have used this app in the past. Instead, app cluttered up with out of date hyperlinks. I like Stewart Ledbetter’s show, but do we really need a link to a 4 week old “Vermont This Week”? Show more

Tired of the politics and money-grabbing fundraising of my local NPR affiliate. Good to hear thoughtful local programming and lots of National/international news provided by NPR.

I have really enjoyed this app. I am a new user of it.

Vermont Public (love the new name by the way) always comes through with great content and this app showcases it in a straight-forward and easy to navigate way. What else to expect from Vermont Public? Show more

This latest version does not play through Apple Airplay as it used to and it has to restarted every day in order to play at all. It also quits playing at random intervals. Show more

Unfortunately, the latest release of this app is, if anything, worse for rural users than previous versions.. The app’s Home Screen has so many dense graphics on it that it takes too long to load. Even worse, the app will not play the stream until all the graphics finish loading. The app should be designed to work in Vermont where cellular and WiFi signals vary greatly in strength and availability. It should take the user’s bandwidth into account when it loads screens and keep track of when it has played the introductory sponsor list so it does not play them every few minutes as it switches bandwidth sources. Too bad the app was not developed by one of the many Vermont based mobile developers who know about Vermont’s internet connection issues. Another big failure in this app is when it loses whatever signal it is using, it gives up and requires the user to hit the play button again. The right way to implement the app is to have it retry until it gets reconnected again. Test the app everywhere it is going to be used instead of in a development lab with high speed Internet.

When trying to play music, it does not start playing. Deleted the app and reinstalled- that did not work.

Well designed app. Very much in line with standard public radio stations across the US.

There has been an on again off again issue with the app dropping transmission almost at random between Wilmington and Mount Snow on Rt 100 and Handle Rd. It appears to be working now. Show more

Works like sunrise. ?

The bugs have been worked out over the last year or two, the app runs flawlessly now. The FM radio broadcast of VPR is spotty in our location, and streaming on archaic DSL was unreliable. High speed EC fiber and a new cell tower are welcome arrivals in our area of rural Central Vermont! Streaming VPR has now released us from playing ripped or downloaded music from a hard drive. Wish there was more bluegrass and folk and other genres included in the program of the VPR Replay stream, and more vocal music on VPR Classical. Show more

Like I said, super easy and I always have VPR no matter where or when!!

Thanks to all who worked to achieve an excellent mobile app for those of us who love Vermont Public Radio! Some drop out but otherwise excellent. Thank you!

Use the app at least five days per week. I have to restart the app every time after answering the phone. Or when going out of reach of WiFi and headset. Each time I have to restart the app. Can you people fix that please. WBUR app developers and others have figured it out… Show more

Excellent content, few ads and they’re mostly local and relevant

Stream live from any device, catch up on past content, check scheduling, make a donation, contact the station. A must have for any VPR consumer.
