app comes up ok but when I try to open WHRO FM it says "loasing" for a short while then goes to "stopped". when I try again, some response for extended period of time. what's up? it has been like this for a long while. the app always used to work perfectly but now I cannot get any of the former offerings to work. I removed the app and reinstalled it but some results. what's up? Paul Zahn, Mathews

Well, I took a chance: the pesky, flashing ads loaded right away but, the programming wouldn't come up: it would indicate that it was loading but, would then stop. Cycling the app didn't do any good. Uninstalling now. I guessed I will just have to get my NPR news from WAMU. This app needs serious work before it becomes a viable product.

I love this app when out and about because it works great over cellular network, but when I am at home on wifi it says I have no Internet access.

Like others have said, this app says Loading and then says Stopped. I can't get to the programming.

I use it when working outside. It continually stops working, sometimes restarts, usually I have to restart it. Very frustrating. Please fix it.

I love public radio, but this app stinks. It seems crazy that commercial free radio creates an app filled with FLASHING ads. Oh, and it hangs consistwntly and never actally streams any audio.

Love the app about 3 weeks ago it started turning off with full WiFi signal. Turns off every 2 minutes trying to reinstall it. Hope it works.

Love 1920s radio on my wifi radio. Thanks for this app for my phone now.

I love that I can now stream Out of the Box when I'm nowhere near a radio!

I've loved this app for several years now and always download it again when I transfer to another phone. Currently on GalaxyNote4 for two years . Thank you for such a great app. Everyone complains about ads but other popular streaming apps like Pandora have commercials! This is a really great alternative that plays continuous Big Band Classics thanks WHRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEPING IT ALIVE! !!!!!!!

Used to work, but now, with a new phone and Android 6.01, it doesn't.

Two outstanding public radio stations, additional streaming content. Not sure what the other reviewer's problem is with minimizing. On my phone just hitting the "Home" button allows multi-tasking with no problems. The stream pauses for phone calls or alerts and then resumes. May occasionally have problems on flaky wireless connections, but what streaming app does not?

While I love the music and the ease of portability that app offers, the fact that I can't minimize it so I can hear the music in the background while using my phone's other functions is a drag.
