If any App is redundant or improved version of it is available, the out dated app shouldn't be there for download. Confusion need no be there.

Excellent broad coverage from sources near and far. Independent non-biased reports.

Very good but ads are too much

Sir/Madam! I would like to inform you about the fact that I am unable to listen to the VOA Radio Newscasts because it stops after playing for a few seconds. As a result, I immensely miss high quality news items. Therefore, I would like to make a request to you to kindly rectify this problem at the earliest. Thanking you.

Horrible. Can find a live audio stream. Can't minimize play-back audio without it stopping. Programs not always updated/available for long periods of time (i.e. who wants to listen to Africa News Tonight when it's posted along with the following Daybreak Africa???) My 7th grade daughter could code a better app than this. And she said she's available!

I was glad to find this app. It brought back memories of how I found VOA and others channe surfing on sw and mw. However, nostalgia won't make up for the lack of background playback! I can't put on some headphones, lock the screen and throw my phone into my pocket! I can't even navigate away from something I'm listening to browse other content! It seems this and some other functionality used to be in older versions. Please put them back! They are fundamental to a good media playback experience.
