WBUR

An Intelligent radio alternative for refugees from the dumbed-down and juvenile CBC. It's a perfect app.

It is really frustrating to be in the middle of an important story and the app just stops. Sometimes it restarts after a few minutes but more often I need to close the app and restart it. Sometimes even that doesn’t work. As a dues paying member for 30+ years, I am annoyed.

I listen still to WBUR almost daily despite having moved from Boston 20 years ago. However, while I like supporting them through an App and having access to the podcasts and stream, the App feels like it was put together 10 years ago and it consumes an enormous amount of CPU and battery. I have become more concerned about using badly written, battery inefficient apps now that I have not been charging my phone during the day in many years. Sadly, there are other options to listen to the podcast and streams so, please put a little effort into the App. Ideally, use native APIs, frameworks, with a decent iOS like UI (or one that just feels modern). But for now, I’ll listen elsewhere…

El programa de José Masó lo escucho en Puerto Rico, Con Salsa. Disfruto mucho. Otros programas que ofrece WBUR aparte de noticias mundiales, también tiene espacios de muy interesantes temas y diversos sobre las tendencias actuales tanto científicas, culturales y sociales. Aquí podemos incluir invitados y diálogos importantes. Además la programación de PBS, Noticias del ámbito mundial, europeo árabe centroamericano y países orientales son espacios que edifican mi conocimiento del mundo actual en que vivo. Otros programas decarácter (“Witty”) son inclusive muy interesantes. También provéen programación en cuanto a memoria musical clásica instantánea de los oyentes. WBUR La considero un foco de iluminación intelectual en muchos sentidos pues abarca grandes dimensiones. Roberto Juliá 🙋🏼‍♂️

I’ve been subscribing on my own and through my employer (Raytheon) for over thirty years and plan on contributing for thirty more. Keep up the, “Good” work WBUR!

This used to be an app that I could start up and then put my phone in a charging stand while I listened. Now, once my phone goes to sleep, so does the app, interrupting my listening! If it has something to do with the “sleep” settings, I guess I’m too stupid, because nothing helps I guess I’ll have to give up until the next revision, but this version of the app is useless

I was forced to do an upgrade a few days ago, and I haven’t been able to listen since. All it does is spin. there was a brief. One evening when I could listen for a short period of time and then it stopped. And when I tried to restart it it went back to spinning.I use the old app for years and it worked great mostly except for a few periods of time when there were issues of it shutting itself down, but it had been working fine recently. I hope this issue gets fixed because I miss listening.

I find the news programs to be factual, balanced and thought provoking. Given all the noise, fake news and distortions of science that surrounds us, WBUR is a safe haven where the information can be trusted and is reliable. Whether you agree with their opinions or the subject matter that they stress , WBUR does not fabricate or distort. Critical that this source of information not only survive but thrive.

I like the ease with which I can be in touch with the news anywhere I might be….at work, at home or away on vacation. The App enables me to receive my favorite programs anywhere, anytime.

Despite a good connection by phone or WiFi reception goes in and out - especially when moving
