Fantastic app, keeps you updated with current events. Best news source ever, you see and here what's going on with our Senate, Congress and what the President's doing. Everything is live and taped so you can go back an listen again! No new media giving you a small clip and annotating of what's "happening". This app is water straght from the well with no middle man you get it yourself!

Simple to use. Doesn't take up much space. Has podcasts of certain shows. Has 4 different cspan channels with full programming schedule for each channel. No video/photo. If you're a fan of listening to cspan on the radio, this app is your dream come true. I like it a lot.

Good app. Keeps cutting off on the Tablet I've got hooked to Radio by acc plug-in. If it didn't have to update every week I'd put it on Cell Phone. Could someone disable the cutoff?

S70%
by S####:

Keeps cutting off. I'm using chrome therefore the app is a failure. I will change my review when it stops cutting off.

S70%
by S####:

App audio keeps cutting out every ~5 minutes. Please fix.

Z70%
by Z####:

Live streams of the most important political hearings, decisions of the Supreme Court, as well as oral arguments, and don't forget @washjournal

You can't go wrong having this app

S70%
by S####:

If maybe a little inelegant, the design is clear and the functionality is quickly rendered.

C-span app

I got the app so I can listen to it out on the road as I am a truck driver and as other people have said buffers every few minutes and then it shuts down and you have to restart it about every few minutes really really needs address really enjoy C-SPAN

W70%
by W####:

Current issue. Great wifi signal while mowing grass but it can't play for more than a few minutes without cutting off. Often issues. Will cut off randomly while driving. Does the app stop due to tower changing or is it a general underlying issue with buffering. Get better tech personnel to fix it please.

S70%
by S####:

After it had to buffer 4x in 10 minutes, I turned it off and went to a Facebook live video of the Jeff Sessions hearing. The video loaded fine and didn't need nearly as much buffering. If that can be fixed, it'll be better, but being able to download the audio afterward would be best. I'd REALLY like to get that at some point.

Most people complaining don't understand your shoestring budget. I'm just glad you are there at all. The low budget to purchase bandwidth would explain most of live streaming problems. Interestingly, I can listen to archived podcasts without any problems. One improvement might be a "buffer level gauge" like you see on old CD/DVD copying apps - something to let the listener know they are running out of bandwidth might soften some of the harsh comments.

S70%
by S####:

This app is genuinely worthless. What gives CSPAN? Keeps shutting off the feed, can't do my workout because I have to walk over every 5 minutes to keep turning it on. I mean really, this is bad for an app that has one. single. function. It is a simple streaming function.

S70%
by S####:

Awful technology. The app DOES NOT hold the signal. Continually drops feed, requiring relaunch. This app needs to be redesigned from scratch. If I could rate lower than 1 star, I would do so. Looking at YOU, Brian Lamb.

S70%
by S####:

I want to really like this because I love CSPAN but to many issues don't allow it. Schedules are hard to understand and don't always match actual programming. This along with the fact that I get about 10-20 minutes of programming (on any channel) before it stops playing. I have to replay consistently. Too bad because it could be great

L70%
by L####:

Pretty disappointing. Tried to listen to the Comey testimony. Constant buffering and the app would just stop playing the feed. Not sure about the design either. Why are there 3 stations? An explanation of each would be nice. Maybe I'll check back in a few months for improvements, but for now it's a no go.

Z70%
by Z####:

They ruined a good app. The earlier version was fine. Just updated. Now it stops playing after a few minutes, need to re-press play and wait 10 sec for buffering. Plus, no way to quit or exit out of the app!! Ridiculous!!

H70%
by H####:

Thanks to this app, I'm able to keep track of the confirmation hearings. I wish the feed was more stable and buffering quicker, but my connection may also be a factor. Also, it could use a UI update in line with Google's Material Design. Indespensible app, regardless.

S70%
by S####:

On 4G, The app - which has been repeatedly deleted and reinstalled - takes some time to buffer and then plays only for anywhere from 2 to 16 minutes before the feed stops.

J70%
by J####:

It crashes often but good place for unbiased news coverage and free access to live and recorded action in Washington. Sunday news shows are my favorite. Brian Lamb is a genious.

S70%
by S####:

The buffering would not be an issue if it restarted the stream afterward. As it is, I must constantly reopen the app and press play.

S70%
by S####:

C-SPAN changed my life. I have never seen such honesty and dignity in a news Network. It keeps my heart beating.

P70%
by P####:

I don't have the problems others are having. The UI requires more work for the intellectually misfortunates. Otherwise, the app itself works fine.

M70%
by M####:

Seems to work OK... no complaints. Boring interface maybe.

D70%
by D####:

C-SPAN had to be listened to if you are at all serious about your political news and public views

N70%
by N####:

Keeps shutting down. Fix this app i need my book and history radio. HELP US!

B70%
by B####:

30 seconds of audio followed by 90 seconds of buffering and then it just stops playing. Thanks for nothing.

H70%
by H####:

Have to hit play literally every five minutes even with full bars, clearly requires an update. Use a different app.

K70%
by K####:

Spontaneously stops every few minutes. Have to push 'play' each time to start it again.

S70%
by S####:

Whish it also included video. Thank you C-SPAN!

I70%
by I####:

Good content, however, the app pauses itself for no reason. I have to constantly tap a channel to continue to listen.

S70%
by S####:

Wow guys, this last update sucks. Buffering, disconnecting, won't switch between wireless and 4G. What was good, is now bad....

M70%
by M####:

The schedule layout needs some work, but overall the app doesn't disappoint. The notifications are related to major events that I would actually want to listen to. Well done.

S70%
by S####:

Cut out every few minutes to buffer. Uninstalled.

S70%
by S####:

Never seen an app that needs buffering as much as this app does. VERY WEAK & USELESS

B70%
by B####:

Want 5-stars? Program the app so it can be moved to external SD memory!

S70%
by S####:

The sound cuts out frequently. Too irritating to listen to.

S70%
by S####:

C-SPAN is wonderful, but this app is always crashing randomly

G70%
by G####:

Yes, the first channel does say radio. The second third and fourth show T.V. feeds.. I was looking to watch live feeds, not listen. Will uninstall.
