★★★★☆ Diesel Wolf (Diesel) · Oct 23, 2025
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 :/
★★★★☆ Danielle McKay · Oct 20, 2025
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.
★★★★★ Justin Kwong · Aug 25, 2025
Yay! The new app is amazing. Way easier to use and find stories and programs of interest. Would give you 6 stars if I could!
★★☆☆☆ Brendan Sweeney · Jun 14, 2025
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.
★☆☆☆☆ Carol Brekke · May 11, 2026
Very disappointed in updated app. I used to be able to click ONCE to get the news, now its three. Previously it was easy to choose a different stream, like classical or current. Now it's a search and even a separate app. Worst of all, the stream will intermittently just stop. It acts like It's still streaming but no sound. I have to close app and reopen to get it started. Occasionally I have to Force the app to close before I can open it again to get the stream. ☹️

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
