Ratings and Reviews
NWPB APP
I enjoy the TV and radio programs I obtain while using this APP. Unfortunately, there are occasions when I have a problem getting to The Newshour. During these times, I open the APP, choose The Newshour, a Masterpiece or other type of advertisement runs, and then the system becomes frozen. I shut down the IPad, restart, and go through the routine listed above again. Normally I am able to get the Newshour and all is well. Yes, it’s a first world problem, but exceedingly frustrating none the less.
Unreliable
Great app when it works. Sometimes it will not let you change the sleep time. One night I had it set for 4hours. The next night I set it for 2 hours and pressed save. Over 2hours later the app was still going. I checked and it had reset itself back to 4 hours and would not let me change the time. The only way to change it was to completely close the app and start over. If not for this irritating issue it would be 5 stars.
Follow up. App still defaults to its own sleep time. Only now it is 2 1/2 hours instead of 4. Subtracted one star.
Fabulous connection to NWPR
I've used this app since I got my iPhone years ago and the app makes it so easy to listen wherever you are. I recently moved to NM and found the local PR stations lacking, so I continue to listen to this app to keep me up to date. I do wish it would skip telling me that they’ve updated the news stream when I hit Play and just play. The app is pretty basic and could use some improvements, but I find it to be sufficient for my needs and have no real problems with it.
