Iowa Public Radio App for Android
I use this app to listen to NPR at work on weekends. It sometime stops, but usually works well.
I'm a big fan of NPR and love the ease of use of this app. I have been using it for some time now and plan to continue to into the foreseeable future.
They should warn you thay streaming will stop if you have power saving mode on. Is there anyway to continue playing it while keeping the mode on?
A little slow to load but overall good app. New app has improved the lag
Like this app far better than NPR One. I get to hear my shows
Getting much better. Crashes less. Like the direction it is headed.
On demand feature is great when one misses the regular broadcast. Only downside is too many programs discussing American politics.
My ONLY gripe is the station will buffer and disconnect for lengths of time.
Works but can not turn off, like Pandora
Nice layout, to boot.
It looks better than my little FM radio thank you.
I can listen any time, anywhere!
This app lets me listen to the programs I love.
Great app, even better programming.
I use this everyday! Great upgrade IPR!
I love IPR
Love this app because my only radio is in the car. Love the information and hiw the app is set up. My only complaint is that it sometimes just quits and I either have to restart the stream or even the whole app. When that's fixed I'll give it a 5 stars.
I tremendously enjoy IPR and listen to it every night. However, I'm currently experiencing 18 dropouts/breakdowns per week with the app (& have experienced as many as 28 dropouts per week in the months I've used it.) I've uninstalled & reinstalled FOUR times now.
The app is very buggy with a number of error messages and strange behaviours. I still use it because my local radio is pretty weak at my house.
Feature rich and well thought out. For some reason, though, on my motorola droid turbo the apps volume is curiously low.
Love that I can listen to my local news, as well as NPR staples, wherever I am.
Iowa Public Radio goes everywhere!
I love this app! It is one of the few apps I feel that I couldn't live without! It is so diverse with all of its different options and programs, I never run out of new and interesting things to listen to! I play it in the car for my kids and for myself at work. I have never had any technical problems with this app it always works for me. My favorite program is the Moth! I listened to it on my 13 hour drive from Denver to Illinois with my family. We laughed, we cried, it was awesome to have this app!
After waiting so long for IA to finally get app. More info on web. More interesting articles. Bland. Not as user friendly as I hoped. Repetitious articles. Love WPR

The app has a few performance issues that need to be fixed. It frequently stops and won't restart. Also have a problem with it hanging up my devices so the devices need to be shut down and restarted. The app is on 3 devices and these problems appear on each device.
All my news and local music in one place
A bit too slow and clunky. Disappointed I'm not allowed to continue listening to a stream while jumping over to read a news article.
App occasionally crashes, but usually after I've reopened the app after the phone has been in sleep mode.
I enjoy IPR and having an app is nice, but keeps stalling. I'm looking forward to seeing this issue solved.
Good first try. Crashes occasionally. Like the direction it is headed.
Navigation is a little slow and clunky, and sometimes you have to force the app to stop (just like the NPR app). But it works and has Studio One music, and I like the integration of podcasts.
The app is a great tool to access streaming from IPR. Having the 3 different streams is great. The only nitpick i can make so far is the fact that the active icon does not disappear from the information bar at the top of my tablet, even after I've closed it & cleared active apps from the tablet.
Love IPR but the app seems to have buffering & stall issues that I don't get with other streaming apps. Hopefully it'll improve!
Would rate 5 if it worked well. Right now, playback randomly stops every 30 seconds or so.
More useful than sensational
Good stuff.
Love the show on Sat mornings
Some buffering issues, but works well enough.

App stops playing if you shut off your screen to save power. If you get a phone call app does not stop so you can talk. Please fix these minor annoyances.
