Poorly designed. Barely updated. Podcasts are not uploaded in a timely or even consistent manner

Can't keep connected for more than a few minutes at a time. Wifi or not, doesn't matter. Other streaming apps I have don't have this problem.

The signal freezes or drop ever few minutes and it doesn't matter if I am listening over WIFI or AT&T mobile. Very poorly done app I think.

Really like listening to Boston Public Radio (and WGBH in general) when I catch it airing but unlike the WBUR app, seem to encounter nothing but problems with this app. To begin with, it shuts down when my screen goes to sleep or I turn the screen off myself. Also, again unlike On Point (WBUR), no luck accessing recent episodes thru Tune-In.

App works well, I just prefer WGBH

This app shuts itself off automatically, and repeatedly even tho I've uninstalled and installed several times. other radio apps stay on, so I know it's not my phone, but the app itself. Please fix it.
