Comments on PBS Radio for Android

★★★★★ AmpsWatts4 ! · Mar 4, 2022

I use this app mainly in the car coz it has a greater dynamic range than the radio.

★★★★☆ Jack McQuinn · Feb 15, 2024

Good app on my phone, would love a feature to Chromecast to my tv, or even have an app for android tv, so I can listen in from bigger speakers!

★★★★★ Knux Delux · Jul 20, 2022

Adore being able to tune in to my favorite shows at times that suit me. In that respect it treats the different shows like podcasts. If you wish to tune in live, then it is just like tuning into your personal digi radio. I find the app simple and easy to use. Love the feature of having access to the shows' song lists (in order too). Very cool.

★★★★★ Adam Cortes · Apr 23, 2023

Great app and station overall Only thing when streaming live radio on app it just stops playing randomly constantly

★☆☆☆☆ Adam · Dec 31, 2025

Maddening. The stream stops every time I get a notification, or sometimes for no reason at all. I used to use the Community Radio app instead, but that also suffers from bugs. Time to get a DAB radio and be done with it!

★★☆☆☆ John Kostaras · Apr 6, 2021

Love PBS but this app just gets the wheel o death and nothing happens...

★★☆☆☆ A Google user · Jan 31, 2022

Great app. However my stream sometimes stops randomly, even if I have downloaded the show. Also I cannot fast-forward/rewind on downloaded playlists. A fix would be greatly appreciated

★☆☆☆☆ John Waller · May 24, 2023

Yesterday afternoon (23 May 2023) the app was working fine (within the limits its idiosyncrasies), but I went out for a couple of hours and when I came back the app didn't work anymore, it would just freeze on the startup screen. I guess the app must have automatically updated while I was out. I restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app a couple of times, but it made no difference. This is on a Samsung Galaxy S9 (model SM-G960F). It still works on a Galaxy S10.
