Works okay. I almost exclusively use the live stream feature. One major point of annoyance -- and what drives my three star score -- is that the stream doesn't automatically pause when Bluetooth disconnects. Instead, it toggles to the device speaker, which breaks UX conventions and is a real pain as I have to manually pause the stream in the app to prevent NPR from mumbling in my pocket.

There's a lot to hear, but also a lot of bugs. Just now it insists there's no on-line connection while all other apps work. Went thru a period where this app took over my phone by playing when turned off, etc. It would be better if the darn thing just played the current programming instead of all the bells & whistles that are full of bugs.

Whenever there's the slightest interruption in a data connection, or when my phone switches from one wifi hotspot to another, the radio feed stops. Sometimes it restarts by itself, but just as often I have to restart the app. And whenever it restarts, it first plays a promo spot for one of the sponsors. Very, very, very frustrating! In fact, I can't use the app as I had hoped: to listen to KUOW when I'm in locations where I can't receive the broadcast. :-(
