GPB Reviews

The one thing I want to use this for is listening to the local headlines each morning. That’s difficult to do even when GPB is supposedly working as it should, taking me to the this app website and having me press the Play button—not the big, “press me” Play button at the bottom of the screen on GPB , but the website’s Play button that I find once I’ve scrolled down a bit. Fine, I’ll take another sip of coffee and force my morning brain to recall and fumble through that procedure. But this latest update (I believe?) has caused even that hidden-website Play button to be unresponsive! How to listen to the local headlines? Delete GPB and just Google them each day—it’s easier.

The NEW app is definitely a downgrade. They try to push everyone to audio and video. What happened to simply reading articles? No longer regularly use GPB…..Disappointing to say the least

There are randomly occurring PSAs that interrupt programs. Also, more than once, there is radio silence that lasts for minutes to hours. Downloading GPB anew does not remedy this sudden silence. Also, when transitioning from a home network to mobile roaming, GPB has to be reopened.

12/6. My prior comment remains relevant. The “updates “ to GPB have not remedied these issues. If anything, the issue of a frozen transmission when transitioning from home wi-go to mobile is worse. The only fix is to delete GPB and reload it. I access four other public radio apps, none of which have these issues.

I tried to listen to an hour long show and it quit (shut down app entirely and required me to find my place each time) probably 8 times. VERY frustrating.

I have been using GPB for years to stream this app. The recent update starts with a hook or bump about this app. Fine. Then the bump will spontaneously play. Sometimes every 30 seconds to a minute. Restart, and it will jump in every 5 minutes or so. Restart, and it will interrupt every 2 minutes. It is making GPB almost worthless because of the frustration.

I don’t understand GPB and I don’t like it. The “live” show in GPB is different from the this app NPR programs on my radio. I used to be able to browse the old app for different this app NPR affiliated programs and pick the one I wanted but I can’t see a similar function here - so if I want to listen to my local station I have to open the old app which y’all have crippled. Pretty unhappy with the change.

Sometimes the show will not stay on and I need to reboot phone or reinstall

I listen to radio a lot, using an fm radio, Alexa device and my iPhone. On iPhone I use the this app and NPR apps. The this app ap seems to need to refresh itself fairly often and randomly interrupts programs with repeats of its station identification

I use GPB daily, and love it when it’s not acting up. Lately, it sometimes gets stuck in a buffering loop. Also, now that it starts with a sponsor message, that interrupts the programming if I drop from my WiFi at the far end of the house.

I’ve used GPB for years to listen to NPR. When it works it’s great but there are periods ranging from minutes to days where it won’t work at all. It’s terribly frustrating and I would like to see more consistency.

I’m not sure exactly what part of this app I’m responding to here-so sorry. GPB ? The programming? For several years I’ve had trouble finding what is on and when but that is with GPB or without it. I’m a contributor and get the monthly mag but things change. I think it’s the specificity with which I canNOT search this app.

NPR has also changed its app navigation as well as some features I’ve come to rely on. Now, I find the NPR app just plain hard to use compared with 2-3 years ago.

The “live” NPR button is gone! So I’m driving along, listening to NPR in my car, drive into the garage and want to continue hearing the program. Until recently I would immediately pick up my iPhone NPR app hit “live” and continue listening. Now there is a disconnect as I sit in my garage trying to find the program I’ve been listening to in my car. Rarely to I find the program. Seems like the Savannah this app/NPR station has just vanished? I appreciate you asking. Listening to NPR is a daily source of frustration I’ve not experienced until maybe six months ago.

I travel a lot for work and love having this app News at my fingertips. Particularly like Two Way Street and On Second Thought. Oh, and being able to listen to my morning and afternoon news anchors no matter where I am in the country.

Having the this app app makes it so easy for me to listen to this app anywhere I am I connect to my Bluetooth speaker in other rooms in the house. I can use earbuds out in the yard. It’s nice to be able to listen to whatever is currently streaming or she’s any other category I want. There’s so much content that sometimes I’m a little overwhelmed in trying to find what I want but it’s nice to have all that content!

GPB keeps me connected to the BEST radio station, in America. This station caters to providing us with information, in regard to what’s going on in our world, so that we may have a greater understanding, and be able to form more substantial interpretations of what’s going on!!! No bias!!!

Thanks for being there to help us decipher this news.

Haven’t had any problems and gets me to the programming I need.

I love GPB . It’s a great way to stay connected to all things this app. I use it daily.

Now I can take this app with my where ever I am. I also signed up as a sustainer through GPB easily.

Check it out every morning. Very simple, and it works. Exactly what you hope for in an age of product diminishing updates.

Great shortcut to all of Public radio has to offer.

Absolute best for all my programs on the weekend. A couple of Bluetooth speakers and my garage time goes by way too fast. Thank you...

Super easy to enjoy all the things that this app radio offers, wherever I am.

The news programs on this app are an essential part of my life. Lately our radio stations do not come in, so I am grateful to have a streaming alternative.

I like surfing around the site in the mornings to pick up info…
