I use this app 7 mornings per week. The only problem is technical, sometimes the stream drops. I close it & restart it, which can take time.

The app doesn't crash as much as it used to, but it still randomly crashes at the worst times. Also, when you're done and then close the app, the widget in the notification bar never goes away unless you go to the NYC app info and "force stop" it. I give it 4 stars instead of 3 because this app is the most convenient way for me to listen to NPR when I'm not in my car or at home. My phone has an FM Tuner, but only works if you plug in wired headphones (I use Bluetooth).

Sometimes sound drops out. I don't know why. But very, very, valuable app! Public radio is our lifeline to real news and information right now. We must hang onto public radio.
★★☆☆☆Evan Sachs· Jul 9, 2024
Update: I have now tried the updated version, and it's unfortunately getting an even lower rating than before. With the old version, at least I could easily restart the stream after it randomly cut out. Now it stills randomly cuts out, but when I try restarting it, it just "plays" absolute silence! (Old review for posterity: Love the station, but the app is glitchy and keeps shutting off for no reason when I'm listening.)

I give up on this app. Stops streaming every few minutes. Uninstalled. There's no excuse such a poor app. Other NPR station apps work reliably.

NYC has fantastic content. Unfortunately, the latest app update consistently crashes when running in the background to the point that it's not usable. Very disappointing.
