Customer Reviews

Annoying bug (2 stars)
Since the latest update, I can't navigate away from the app while listening or allow my phone to lock; the podcast/story stops.

More dev testing needed before release (2 stars)
1.This version no longer has internal volume control.

2.On my iPhone 3GS, streaming shuts down when returning to the home screen or when the screen locks. In other words, the app treats the iPhone as a single-task computer you cannot open other apps or allow the screen to lock.

Boo!

Change for the worse (3 stars)
Lost in this update: the ability to choose external speaker. The old version allowed me to choose between the phone speaker and an external Bluetooth speaker that I use. This was important because if I answered or made a call using my phone's speaker, I could then go back to my external speaker to listen to NPR. Now I can't.

Also, unattractive icon that no longer stands out.

What's stayed the same: sound/live streaming j
