Seems to consume alot of power compared to tune-in app. Also doesn't stop payback when headphones disconnect, moves straight to full blast from speaker which is less than ideal. Cuts out when one clears the list of app windows unlike Tune-in. Love wbur, but this app is less than ideal. I wish phones still had an actual radio. Sighhh. An update now means it crashes all the time,!

Too data intensive. Drops frequently and restarts program if you don't have perfect cell or WiFi connection. Really buggy. Even after downloading a program I will hit play and nothing happens even though the sound indicators are moving. Repeatedly stopping and starting playback or skipping forwards or backwards does nothing. Also gives a loud notification every time you hit pause or play which you're doing constantly to try to listen to anything. I only want to listen to hear and now.

Very disappointed when I switched from iPhone to Android to discover the WBUR app doesn't have the rewind/forward fast function while listening to live broadcasts. I often used to pause the broadcasts when interrupted at work, then start it again where I'd left off. Now, without that option I'm missing a good deal of the programs, which is frustrating. I'm certainly not getting the great experience I used to with my old iPhone app. Hope something can, and will, be done about this.
