Use to love WBUR’s app, but I’m having an ongoing problem with it shutting down while in use. I use it mostly for podcasts and find It’s very sporadic about when it wants to work. I can choose the podcast and look at the available episodes, but as soon as I try to load the content it exits out of the app entirely. This has been happening for months both after my phone has been on or when I first turn on my phone in the morning. I’ve tried reinstalling it and closing it after a “failure to launch”. Unfortunately nothing seems to deliver the content most of the time. I really like the app and features, but it’s getting to the point where I may just stop trying altogether. Hopefully someone will figure out a solution soon.

Love the app and WBUR, especially Here and Now, with this app will not work correctly. It worked fine for maybe a year and then an update screwed it up. It works great the first time I open it up in place for a while but then eventually it starts closing if I switch between topics. Then it takes three or four tries to open it and have it load the program. Each time the app just abruptly crashes in the process of failing to load the stream.

As much as I love and continue to use this app, there seems to always be some issue with it, whether it skips fragments of a program, or just plain won’t stream the live audio, or it crashes. Currently, it’s crashing when I try to play live audio. I also suspect that running it recently affected my phone’s ability to make or receive phone calls. I had to reboot my phone to get my calling ability back. I did recently update my iOS to 12.1 and that may have triggered some bug. But at this moment, the app will only play content from the program list. It will not play live programming and it keeps crashing. Please fix your app! Thanks!

I’m a daily user (sufferer) of this app. The most frustrating thing by far is the buffering (which will sometimes cause a show to stop to rebuffer multiple times). The thing that annoys me the most is that you cannot rewind a program past a certain point - sometimes I can rewind a program a full two hours, but other times I can’t rewind 30 seconds... I was listening to Con Salsa which ends at 3 am - I paused the show at 2:58 to hear the end, and when I clicked play to resume at 3:01 it had timed out and wouldn’t let me rewind to where I had paused it. What an absolute piece of crap.
