WYPR Public Radio App for Android
Love wypr
Great layout, has sleep timer and they fixed the glitchy issues!
Glitchy, but usable. Except today, when the stream is down and has been for about a day now. App randomly crashes and needs to be restarted. If your WiFi drops for a second and the connection resets, it plays the 30 second online ad again (usually right in the middle of a story I'm interested in. NEVER during a pledge drive.)
Keeps cutting out,making me miss half of the broadcast wish it would stop.
This app has many bugs and needs to be remade.
Stops frequently causing missed content
Stable app
This is the best way to get WYPR since I'm close to another station. Consequently, the frequent drops are frustrating. However, it is Exceedingly Better than before when they were both annoying and frustrating.
Annoying startup process, so can't use as a wakeup alarm, but only way to reliably listen given WYPR's poor signal strength / spotty coverage throughout the local area.
Straight forward product. Sometimes it's hard to find the program within ypr but I generally just need it for classical music and National Public Radio shows.
Great way to listen to WYPR, and find stories that I missed. Also easy to share stories
Pretty good but not easy to navigate.
Audio frequently drops. It seems like the app is constantly reloading. Looks to me like most people only use the app to listen to live wypr. Get rid of all the other bells and whistles in the app until it can be developed properly. That will likely solve the problem and in the meantime the majority that just wants to listen to live wypr can do so wo the frustrating audio drops.
Decent app for core functionality, but recent update sends lots of notifications that can't be disabled in the app (that I can tell at least). Had to disable them at the OS level.
Great way to access my favorite station.
There are often times when the live radio goes silent for several seconds to a few minutes, it's very frustrating.
Sign in screen keeps popping up annoyingly and the app cuts out frequently
Works well, does what I look for.
Soso
I love using it to hear what I've missed on WYPR, but its not that great for live listening
It cuts off suddenly unless I'm using WiFi or have a strong Bluetooth connection. I have a Samsung S5 and sometimes have to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it to play. Other than those issues, it's great!!
Listening to to the radio and the program will just stop playing. When I restart it, it says that the app had crashed.
The radio station and content are fantastic. The app, however, is awkward and slow. :-(
It cuts off after a few seconds of streaming live radio.
Now I can get to the current program with no problems. Searching for past shows easy. Samsung S7
Constantly restarts, even on a wifi connection. Unusable.
Turns itself on. Really annoying at 3 AM.
This app has improved in stability. I love WYPR and this app allows me to listen when I'm away from a radio. :-)
Drops streaming constantly; can listen for perhaps 10 mins before it stops streaming. After closing and reopening app, often won't start again (hit play symbol, begins to load, then stops). I've uninstalled and reinstalled app to no avail. No problem with other streaming stations.
Very glitchy. Perhaps even worse after the recent update. I appreciate getting WYPR on my phone; just wish it ran more consistently.
Keeps cutting out,making me miss half of the broadcast wish it would stop.
But the latest update kicks me off every 5 minutes.
Can another developer pick this project up? For the sake of WYPR listener's sanity! Stops screaming often. Not worth the frustration of it stopping in the middle of a story. I just bought a radio...
I'm using it on my Android device and he keeps crashing and seems very unstable. I do like the programming but the connection with my Wi-Fi makes me turn it off.
It would be great if it didn't constantly stop streaming.
Functional, but doesn't close properly. Always forced to manually kill process in the task manager
So easy to use, not a lot of complicated frills, straightforward and convenient. Everything I need at my fingertips.
Works well, but still uses a lot of band width due to all the pics that have to load.
Keeps crashing and stops streaming.
