Best looking news app I use, and the only one I don't directly have to pay for.
★★★★★Rebecca Jockusch· Sep 23, 2023
Excellent NPR station. Very good app. I really appreciate being able to pause and rewind the radio station.
★★★★★Jerolyn Benson· Mar 11, 2025
After my local public radio station messed up its scheduling, the BUR app allows me to continue to listen to my favorite programs at the times that I am able to listen to them.
★★★★★Renee Shapiro· May 12, 2023
I'm really glad to have the opportunity to listen to shows I love even if I can't be around when they're on the air.

BUR fix your app! You have to be able to close it without accessing the system task manager. Uninstalling. Update: 3 years later, this app is even worse. It loads the home screen, then goes white and is inaccessible. Uninstalling again.
★★☆☆☆Lance Ryley· Feb 1, 2023
I was hoping the 2023 update would improve things but if anything they are worse. You can no longer mark favorite podcasts or sort them. Podcasts don't remember their place if you pause. They automatically repeat after the end. No response when providing feedback App is fine if all you want to do is steam bur, but otherwise its junk.
★★☆☆☆Stewart Randall· Jan 6, 2023
Unlike every other Android app this one does not quit when you swipe up to close the app. App also stops randomly.
★☆☆☆☆dMitri DeVos (Ramblin' James Fox)· Apr 6, 2023
I've tried multiple times and installs and the stream stops after a minute or two. This has happened since the last update. Please fix. Samsung Galaxy s22 ultra.
