Content is as expected,it's public radio. The app crashes constantly. I have to Uninstall and reinstall it about once a week. I listen to NPR as I drive to Riverside County every day, and can't fuss with it while driving. Fix the app do it stop crashing please.

Have rarly, if ever, been able to listen to an episode of any show on KPBS without App crashing several times. I love the NPR content, but this app sucks when Compared to NPROne app which works seamlessly. Several times a week uninstall and re-installs have failed to resolve the issues and provide relief.

Mostly good but can get ad happy. There's an ad when you start the stream (totally understandable), but often times, it will interrupt the actual stream with its own ads less than a few minutes after it starts
