I've noticed recently there are problems with casting stream to Chromecast speaker from your app. I use the couple of different apps and all cast music correctly (on Android 13). Is there some general issue with your app at the moment?

Not sure where all the negative reviews for ad breaks are coming from, I've been a user for about 6 years now and have had no issues. I get 1-2 adds at the start of the stream and then no interruptions from there for hours of listening. I use this to listen to the current daily!

I love listening to The Current, especially to start my day. The recent app update constantly stops playing on my Android phone in the app and in a browser. Please fix this issue! As a sustaining member I want to continue to listen to the great music!

I love The Current. I am a member and contribute monthly. I really want to give the app a better rating. However, the constant ad interruptions are incredibly frustrating. I always miss a favorite song because of this, and then I have to listen to 3 more ads before the next song. There are more ads in this app than on the actual station. This is the third time I have tried the app. I uninstalled it previously because of the ad interruptions. They have only gotten worse. Uninstalling again.
