Appmuse

This app is broken on iPad. It does not rotate to landscape mode for users who use a keyboard. Great news content. Poor app implementation. Please fix this! 12/30/2020 Update - communicated with MPR via Twitter. Not developed to support landscape which is a significant oversight/shortcoming to me. Deleted the app. Will get my news elsewhere. Show more

What happened to the timer auto-shutoff. I really miss that in the current version.

This app cuts out of the live broadcast on average 4-5 times per hour. It’s incredibly frustrating when you’re in the middle of an important news story and the host or guest is cut off for an advertisement. For that reason I’m no longer a sustaining member of MPR. Show more

Updated: the app was finally updated but still doesn’t support landscape mode. Frustrating. Would start contributing again if I could use the app... Please bring back the landscape mode. With a keyboard on my iPad I can no longer use the app. Show more

I love MPR and have enjoyed the app, but it crashes on launch on iOS 14 so its useless now.

Sadly the app broke on the latest iOS update.

Kinda defeats the purpose when the app crashes immediately upon launch.

Starting a few days ago whenever I try to open this app it just crashes. Your “support” link doesn’t take me anywhere that seems to offer support or a way to contact you for support. I miss my MPR news app. Show more

I wrote MPR about this and while I received a nice response, received no solution. Every time you move between WiFi networks you are forced to listen to a 15 second commercial on this non-commercial station. I’ve missed news and weather alerts and parts of great stories. Really not a good situation. I suggested regular — in between story — sponsorship slots, but this has not happened. I really dislike the app. Show more

I was excited that I could listen to MPR on my walks with this app. It is useless because every few minutes advertising will break into what you’re listening to, disrupting and causing you to lose key points in a discussion. Such a waste of time. Show more

I was hoping to be able to listen to all my favorite MPR and NPR shows on my phone without having to livestream the radio with spotty internet service. But the constant interruptions of “This program is supported by...” mini commercials is very aggravating. They come on in the middle of a sentence sometimes! These are IN ADDITION to the regular program breaks for sponsorship, which I understand is needed. But adding even MORE interruptions makes this just about un-listenable. Please fix this. I’ll be deleting this app. Show more

Spoken ads pop out everywhere, at the beginning, in the middle of news and elsewhere.

Basically, the latest update just displays mobile friendly web pages. It's really a step backward in usability. Very disappointed.

I looks nice when you startup on my 2017 iPad. But it cant rotate landscape and there is no way to use darkmode. Pease fix these 2 things and I would give this 5 stars. Show more

MPR News content is fantastic, but this new app is not improved. Most of the time I open, the screen is blank and I need to navigate to home to refresh the app to see any articles. Lightly scrolling down often results in accidentally opening an article. You cannot navigate from one article to the next. Weather has very little info. Show more

The new format does not allow you to advance to the next story without first returning to the “main” screen, requires too much scrolling, and opens stories when you’re just trying to scroll (like if you tap just wrong you open a story instead of advancing the scroll...So. Frustrating.). Also, the left/right arrows at the bottom of every story don’t usually go left or right (back/forth?) - why are they even there? Maybe make them appear only if they lead somewhere. Bottom line, I think the app’s previous format was WAY better and easier to navigate. Show more

The new version is much less usable on an iPad without the landscape view. Please correct ASAP.

I dislike the newest update which stacks all the stories. This creates a frustrating scrolling experience as you inadvertently click and open a story while scrolling. At least add a scroll column or bar Show more

Reads like a line sheet and opens everything when trying to scroll. Lame

Crashes when trying to open app on original iPad mini, does not rotate to landscape view on new iPad!
