For the Station & Content: 4.5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For How Often The App Crashes: 3.0 Stars ⭐⭐⭐ For the UI Experience (esp. Sharing): 1.0 Stars ⭐ Sry, but you do make sharing on this so difficult and a couple of networks share buttons: FB & BlueSky specifically say "The App is Not Set Up" when you try to use them, as of 10/23/2025? Copy Link is also unreliable, so you have to start an email and then copy the link from there and then delete the Outlook or G-Mail Draft.not very implemented tbh :/

App provides great listening service for news, however-it's a bit buggy. If you pause it, it will start playing again when you play other audio, and the option in settings to stop audio when app is closed does not work. Once you navigate away from settings, it will forget it. If you need to use your microphone, the audio will also start again, and to stop it you need to Force Stop the app under app settings. Definitely needs to be fixed.

The app, not the news, has a lot to be desired and got even worse after the new update. Yes, other audio apps on my phone always get stopped by navigating around the MPR app due to some internal media player problem. The biggest new complaint is that there are 2-3 specific sharing links, for only Facebook, Twitter and email. Without a plain Share button to link to internal apps for sharing, this becomes a worse app than using a browser, and that's essentially all it is anyway.

MPR is fantastic, this app is awful. More often than not it displays the headline and won't load the article. Sometimes the article appears for a second and then disappears.

Old app worked great. The new app doesn't work 90% of the time. I can't stream, can't load stories. I supported mpr every month financially for years, still love the broadcast, but this app is a waste.

I used to be able to hit the app button and get what was playing on the radio on my phone that doesn't work anymore, grrr
