Good app & content; one annoyance
By Edge 554 (Pcmac user)
this app produces great content, and this app makes it easy to access without a radio. Indeed, their journalism isn’t limited to audio. I mostly use this app to *read* news stories of local interest. Photos too.
the app provides a news service — accessible with this app — that goes above & beyond the apps provided by the local TV news & newspaper companies, and it rivals paywall-based news sites. Oh yeah, and there are NO ADS!
One complaint, though. If I’m listening to something on my iPhone (music, podcast, etc.), and then open this app, whatever I was listening to will stop. Annoying! The designers may have assumed that I came to the app to listen to their content and that I want to stop listening to my own. This would be an incorrect assumption, though. If I want to play content from the app, I’ll tap a play button.
As an aside, if you like this FREE app, I suggest that you show your financial support; become a member of the app or your local public radio station.

Very limited content
By Ksustainer (Pcmac user)
I’m a sustainer & have been a member since my college years in the 1980s. I love the radio content of the app, but almost every time I want to hear more/read more about a story and the announcer says “find it on the this app app,” I cannot find it. Today, again, this was the case with the ‘this app Presents’ show of which I missed the last 10 minutes. The app has NO category for ‘this app Presents,’ nor any search field to find shows or titles or speakers. This happens all the time. Just use your internet browser to find things. Skip this app.

Why can't we share?
By effieclinker (Pcmac user)
I love getting my news from the app and often come across articles I want to share with friends family and Facebook. Please fix the sharing feature so we can share more than just the picture from the article. It's pointless if we can't share a link and headline.

Great App!
By Kidpoms (Pcmac user)
Not sure why this has such a low overall rating, but we have this on all the iPads and iPhones in the house and use it daily. Whether it's listening to the news, classical or the current, we love it.
