This is for radio farda. If you want to listen to an audio program you just need to stay there and if you lock the screen or swap the page to read something else it won't continue playing. For long program this is very bad. Also for sending feedback on the app the icon is there but it's just doesn't work. That mean from the app it self you can't send any feedback.

So disappointed. This is radio application. But if you want to listen to any audio program from this app and get out of the page to do something else while you listening to the program. It will stop working. Even if e lock your screen it will stop working. Please fix this .

Informative & many fail to recognise or remember the importance of such a radio beaming hope across to countries that meed to know what's happening with the world & broadcasting hope as well as patience. The same was true during the the 1970a in Central and Eastern Europe, where just listening to this Rado was punished by jail terms or worse but RFL kept on. A stable App and no lagging or issues with video. Keep up with the good work...

I like the news but the app just sucks. The audio played doesn't work, sometimes articles are half visible. It's sad that a news agency like RFE can have such a bad app.

Used to be a good app, but after recent update freezes right after being started. Tried to reinstall several times to no avail

At first use this app seems to offer well balanced news information.
