I hope they send me ads.

Tried to locate a previously aired spot I heard earlier in the week, By searching on the app for the specific article, from the specific program, at the specific time, on a specific date and got nowhere. Useless. Show more

I love to support my local public radio stations. I pledge to both and have both apps on my phone to listen to radio on the go. Please take a look at the WBUR app. It is very simple, uncluttered and functional. Everything this app is NOT. Show more

Seems like I’m hearing more ads than ever on NPR stations and it’s worse on the app. The balance seems to be tipping into the not-worth-listening any more since I am almost as likely to hear an announcement and description about products than news. Show more

This app is very glitchy. It randomly stops and sometimes restarts on its own, but often you have to go in and pause-play to reconnect. Also it would be nice if you could pause and resume the live stream as you can do on the WBUR app. Show more

Unfortunately, the app seems to have issues with streaming. Every few minutes, the stream for 89.7 seems to stop and resume after a moment or sometimes after a minute. WiFi and cell signals where I work and live are fine, so there’s something not working with at least the streaming ability of this app. Show more

All I want to do is listen to WGBH and this app never works!! Maybe 1/10 times it connects. Please fix!!!! Even the updated version rarely connects :(

Pro: it plays the station. So does TuneIn. Con: TuneIn shows which show is playing; this app doesn't. WGBH app shows gratuitous text news instead, and sends you to their awkward website for schedule. Show more

Clunky compared to WBUR’s app.

I use this app every day for top-rate news from WGBH and NPR; also for classical music from WCRB. Wish list: more access to on-demand content from WCRB On-screen information on streaming music content (as in the old app). Show more

This is the most informative station. I live by their news reports. NO fake or inflated news. You can repeat what you hear and know it is backed by facts. Show more

In previous versions of the app, you could see at the bottom what was playing now, and what was coming up next. Now the only way to find that very useful information is to tap through to schedules, find the right one, find the right time, and enlarge it to read the tiny print on your mobile device. Basically, it’s impossible to do while you are walking or running or working in the garden. Show more

In the preview screenshots they show a panel where you can select other GBH services, including 99.5 classical - I had to hunt around (and write a negative review in frustrated panic) before I finally found this menu - you have to “select steam” (a tiny button next to the main “play” triangle button). Too techy (not at all intuitive) for us mortal classical music lovers, but the functionality I wanted does exist, it seems to work, so four stars. Show more

I love listening to this app. Works great, too.

With the newest update, the info on WCRB what’s playing is gone.

Disappointed that all it does is buffer!!!!! Please fix

Starting over the weekend this app ( and the NPR app) began cutting out approx every 30-60 sec, rejoining after a minute or more. This is not stuttering related to internet connectivity ( no other processes or video apps affected). This is super frustrating, can you fix? Is there a WGBH only iPad app? Show more

Update: fixed it 4/12/17 below is prior version: Don't know what happened, but the app now freezes the phone, crashes and generally should be avoided until someone wakes up and fixes it. On the other hand, a similar app from another NPR station in Boston still works. Show more

My days aren't the same without WGBH!!!!

I am SO sad w/o Margery and Jim. I moved to Maine a year ago and stream WGBH up here on Southport. I need my fix, I can't switch to WBUR!!!! Show more
