With the newest update the info on WCRB what s playing is gone WCRB What s playing feature ediemck
Disappointed that all it does is buffer Please fix Buffering ALL DAY Alanma5
Starting over the weekend this app and the NPR app began cutting out approx every 30 60 sec rejoining after a minute or more This is not stuttering related to internet connectivity no other processes or video apps affected This is super frustrating can you fix Is there a WGBH only iPad app Bad stop start issues BakingNinja
Update fixed it 4 12 17 below is prior version Don t know what happened but the app now freezes the phone crashes and generally should be avoided until someone wakes up and fixes it On the other hand a similar app from another NPR station in Boston still works Piling on App is dead TriedItbutâŚ
My days aren t the same without WGBH Please fix for iPhones stuck on wgbh

App crashes on startup App only crashes not usable wlm3rd
Absolutely love listening to WCRB while working and this app does the trick Would like to see the ability to rotate the app to horizontal landscape mode Otherwise the app is great Love WCRB but lmairish
I downloaded the app expecting that the WCRB Early Music channel would be included in the app but it is not I am sure the rest of the app runs fine but not interested No Early Music channel on the app aphasiasticus2
I hope the pointless weather feature isn t what needed a new version of the app for because we lost WCRB streaming and I am now missing the BSO live Why would I want weather from this app If we re streaming the radio online chances are we re not local to Boston to want local Boston weather and if it s something to deliver our actual local weather I have weather apps for that I don t want it in the app I m streaming music with Selecting WCRB from the expanding left menu doesn t seem to quit the app but it bumps me out to my home screen If I scroll through open apps it s still displaying but still with the WGBH station info not the WCRB info Pressing it again just bumps you out of the app again rinse repeat ad naseum you never get through No WCRB access new feature but doesn t say what PopeJoan
The newest update 11 19 15 causes the app to crash when I try to open the WCRB streaming part of the app WCRB Crash Wferickson
Since the I ve used newest update of the WGBH app 11 18 2015 the application shuts down when the WCRB link is selected in the left side hamburger menu The WCRB link was working fine before iPhone 6 iOS 9 1 WGBH app version 3 1 3 15 WCRB link not working Jea333
Apps keeps crashing on an iPod touch Keeps Crashing rbm0622
A recent update has breathed new life into this app the audio streams work like a charm and the news feed is a nice touch Just don t expect any WGBH TV content this is strictly a news and radio app But for what it is it gets the job done Great app made better by a recent update ewestby
I just deleted this app from my phone What s the point of having an app that doesn t work as in it never streamed live take up space Done with being frustrated every time I try to see if it will work Deleted Srn67
Regardless of the quality of internet connection this app constantly cuts out and drops out Also it is very slow to load after opening Very poor quality and disappointing given my general trust of the GBH brand Constantly cuts out Boom1247
Push the play button and it just keeps buffering endlessly and never plays the live stream Love BPR but I cannot listen to it on my iPhone or iPad mini Please fix 89 7 WGBH will not stream Faithful Pats Fan
This app used to be SO much better but the audio stream cuts out EVERY TIME I use it You re better off using the NPR app and selecting the WGBH stream from their Stations menu What a Letdown BostonBennie
At the moment this app is unusable for streaming live audio When I press the Now Playing button I get a screen with a single play triangle and a Done button no information no feedback and sadly no play pressing anything but done produces no response no feedback nothing I m on a reliable LTE carrier and I still can t make this work Sad Mediocre at best Chip Morris
Stream stops all the time and the app closes itself half the time I open it Please fix Would be great if it didn t break all the time rice-rocket
Have yet to use this version without it dropping the stream usually at a key point in a story or news The last versions were so much better Please fix asap Cuts out every single time Shalini Coffee
Please fix this app I have listened to wgbh on my iPod for several years but after the recent iOS upgrade I effectively can no longer listen to wgbh online The streaming keeps stopping esp when I turn off the display or go to another app Consequently I will no longer hear about fundraising efforts Fix this app Teresa Swartzel
We re having the same issue Connection drops every 20 or minutes or so into programming Frustrating as we did enjoy many WGBH programs here in Texas Kay SKB987667899876
This app was great listened to WGBH all the time Now i am so frustrated i removed the app Can t browse past content only listen live and some limited selection of news With ios7 there were many issues with ios8 it is completely useless Shuts off all the time for no reason or plays ads after every 10 seconds of actual content Very very annoying Sure ios has to do much about it so only blame the app partially Still so very sad It used to be good now horrible especially with ios8 Gfuresz
Very annoying streaming cuts out frequently requiring reboot but often it simply will not reload This happens occasionally with other stations but not nearly as often as WGBH Shuts down frequently Avid Rita
I don t know who came up with this upgrade but I am now unable to listen on demand This is a huge step back Do not upgrade rrom
All TV related functionality has been removed from this version Do not upgrade if you don t want to lose all TV schedule info A Useful App now ruined with this upgrade MC560
This app lacks the most basic feature one would have expected right away being able to know what you re listening to when you were listening to a live stream I want to be able to listen to WCRB and know what it is that is being played information about the recording etc Very disappointing jdh98467
TERRIBLE Very unreliable in so any ways WGBH radio app Chiara1102
Live streaming not working after update Please fix Not working Harrisj1234
Very useful app for WGBH fans or anyone who wants to get news and music quickly and easily It even has some good recipes For those who have a member card its great to be able to look up where I can get a member discount close to where ever I am at the moment Great App for WGBH Fans
Love the Holiday Stream What a great alternative to whats on commercial radio these days Love it
At the moment this app is unusable for streaming live audio When I press the Now Playing button I get a screen with a single play triangle and a Done button no information no feedback and sadly no play pressing anything but done produces no response no feedback nothing Im on a reliable LTE carrier and I still cant make this work Sad Mediocre at best
Used to mostly work But the live stream is now unavailableso flaky as to be useless Very disappointing and it means I listen to this station much less these days Streaming broken
Thanks WGBH At last my iPhone is complete
I like this app except that BPR programing clips hardly ever get updated BPR is my favorite part of WGBH if it is not updated in the app I should at least be able to subscribe to a BPR podcast but those are not around either Why No BPR Updates
All TV related functionality has been removed from this version Do not upgrade if you dont want to lose all TV schedule info A Useful App now ruined with this upgrade
The scheduling page is clunky at best is often incomplete and does not provide even basic info such as which NOVA episode will be aired Disappointing
I installed it but it never loaded Disappointed Never loaded
I live wgbh but the app is constantly buggy and crashing constantly Great station needs improvements
Were having the same issue Connection drops every 20 or minutes or so into programming Frustrating as we did enjoy many WGBH programs here in Texas Kay
Now I can listen to my favorite programs at the gym in NJ live streaming WGBH
Now the live stream doesnt work at all and the app constantly crashes Used to work great
Its not the app as such but the content delivered which is the problem When I select classical music I want to listen to music but what WGBH gives me is people talking endlessly about the music Please WGBH keep the chatter to a minimum and just deliver the performances that you rightly tell us are so wonderful Music should be music not talk
Ive been using this at the gym and in the kitchen to get my fix of music and shows that Id miss when not in front of my computer radio or TV Worth downloading Lots of great on the go features
Very disappointing Buggy Cant open schedule Love the station not the app
It seems like this hasnt been updated in a long time I dont mean the app I mean the programs on it For example the last time Beat the Press was updated was in August And before that it was sometime in the spring Why bother if you arent going to keep content current Used to be great
Stream stops all the time and the app closes itself half the time I open it Please fix Would be great if it didnt break all the time
This app lacks the most basic feature one would have expected right away being able to know what youre listening to when you were listening to a live stream I want to be able to listen to WCRB and know what it is that is being played information about the recording etc Very disappointing
This app used to be SO much better but the audio stream cuts out EVERY TIME I use it Youre better off using the NPR app and selecting the WGBH stream from their Stations menu What a Letdown
This app has stopped working Its been down for at least a week or more Too bad as Im a big fan of the station but just cant listen anymore Please fix it App no longer work
Have yet to use this version without it dropping the stream usually at a key point in a story or news The last versions were so much better Please fix asap Cuts out every single time
Streaming in and out Has been out for days Clicked on app support and it sends me nowhere Ridiculous Streaming broken no app support
This app was great listened to WGBH all the time Now i am so frustrated i removed the app Cant browse past content only listen live and some limited selection of news With ios7 there were many issues with ios8 it is completely useless Shuts off all the time for no reason or plays ads after every 10 seconds of actual content Very very annoying Sure ios has to do much about it so only blame the app partially Still so very sad It used to be good now horrible especially with ios8
Contrary to some recent reviews this app works fine The problem as I found out when I checked with WGBH is that they are having difficulties with streaming whether its through the app or on their website Features like ondemand work as they should Theyll surely fix the streaming issue one of these days Its not the app its the streaming
TERRIBLE Very unreliable in so any ways WGBH radio app
This is a good app gives me easy access to listen online to the WGBH radio stations There seem to be problems with the app though such as some news stories dont load all the way and events dont load at all All in all its not bad though Good but still a little buggy
A recent update has breathed new life into this app the audio streams work like a charm and the news feed is a nice touch Just dont expect any WGBH TV content this is strictly a news and radio app But for what it is it gets the job done Great app made better by a recent update
Regardless of the quality of internet connection this app constantly cuts out and drops out Also it is very slow to load after opening Very poor quality and disappointing given my general trust of the GBH brand Constantly cuts out
Please fix this app I have listened to wgbh on my iPod for several years but after the recent iOS upgrade I effectively can no longer listen to wgbh online The streaming keeps stopping esp when I turn off the display or go to another app Consequently I will no longer hear about fundraising efforts Fix this app
A for effort C fir execution I moved away from the Boston area and the only way I can listen to the finest orchestra in the world is online Also I am a music teacher in a rural area and no budget this app is one of the ways they were able to become exposed to great musicians UNTIL all of the BSO mysteriously went missing Please fix it Pretty please I might even be willing to make a private donation If I knew it the app would work Love the station not the app please fix it
this app leaves a lot to be desired Needs a much higher commitment to content and updates As it is now it poorly represents our great WGBH Channel 2 in Boston I Love WGBH But
I dont know who came up with this upgrade but I am now unable to listen on demand This is a huge step back Do not upgrade
Live streaming not working after update Please fix Not working
You have to listen to the low bitrate version but at least it works This is how to listen to Classical New England
Live stream used to work perfectly Now it keeps crashing Recently I cant even get it to play Please fix it I miss listening to 897 Live stream keeps crashing
Push the play button and it just keeps buffering endlessly and never plays the live stream Love BPR but I cannot listen to it on my iPhone or iPad mini Please fix 897 WGBH will not stream
I just deleted this app from my phone Whats the point of having an app that doesnt work as in it never streamed live take up space Done with being frustrated every time I try to see if it will work Deleted
Have enjoyed using this app over the last few weeks Get my fix of classical and news and this american life Also get to stream Greater Boston TV which is cool The member discount section is great too havent cashed in any yet should have used it at the aquarium Great app for audio news stories and videos
I have yet to get this app to stream WGBH The WBUR app works fine Doesnt work
Love the station but not the app Cant even open the app now I use the NPR app to listen live The 1 star is for the app The station is five stars Crashes
Very annoyingstreaming cuts out frequently requiring reboot but often it simply will not reload This happens occasionally with other stations but not nearly as often as WGBH Shuts down frequently
