"The app stops a lot when notifications are going on in the background. Pausing is ok but to completely stop without restarting is too cumbersome. So I go to iHartRadio missing all of the WBEZ app features."

"Works for me but PLEASE, as others have mentioned, have it added to android auto. Been about a month since question about AA was asked. Any updates? Phone is Galaxy A50 running Android 11 if that matters."

"I love that I can reach my local public radio station in chicago from anywhere that has internet to where I can connect my device... I do have cell phones that no longer have SIM cards but still can connect to the internet via Wi-Fi in public. This gives me the added boost of being able to use some of my devices that would end up as hazardous waste in the trash heap... I do not believe that recycling really works, particularly with cell phones. This is not an excuse not to recycle, rather an in"

"I love the app. Usually I use it to listen live on my phone, since unlike older phones it doesn`t have an FM receiver. But there`s also a nice selection of podcasts and standalone stories, so there`s always something interesting to listen to. Older versions were a bit buggy but I have had no problems streaming in recent years"
