RRSF,
The app needs work
I listen to GBH through this app almost daily and have for years. But sometimes the app just won’t play, or I need to quit and reboot it several times to get it back. The problem happens consistently when I walk from Wi-Fi to cellular and other times as well. Furthermore, unlike the WBUR app, there is no option to briefly pause without having to listen to an ad cycle. This is especially inconvenient when I take out an air pod and then lose 20 seconds of what I was listening to. On the WBUR app, it not only allows pausing without making you pay an ad toll, but it keeps your place so you don’t have to miss anything. I love GBH so I put up with it, but the glitches are a constant annoyance.
Ancient Wood,
Love GBH BUT….
Love WGBH, but I’m in Maine and stream it through this app…BUT that’s only when the streaming works.
It is a glitchy mess. Sometimes you can listen for an hour, then it glitches out and won’t play, or an alert comes up with “audio problem”. Sometimes you will get 5 min. Then it happens again. At that point you need to close out of the app, wait 5-10 min. And try again.
I make sure my phone is updated, app updated. No other issues with other apps, only this one.
Please fix this!!

Absintheur,
It does play WCRB - it’s just hidden
In the preview screenshots they show a panel where you can select other GBH services, including 99.5 classical - I had to hunt around (and write a negative review in frustrated panic) before I finally found this menu - you have to “select steam” (a tiny button next to the main “play” triangle button). Too techy (not at all intuitive) for us mortal classical music lovers, but the functionality I wanted does exist, it seems to work, so four stars.
Bfleurjuste,
Streaming not great
Unfortunately, the app seems to have issues with streaming. Every few minutes, the stream for 89.7 seems to stop and resume after a moment or sometimes after a minute. WiFi and cell signals where I work and live are fine, so there’s something not working with at least the streaming ability of this app.
wmw42,
Please, please do better
I love WGBH, but this app forces me to go to WBUR for most of my listening. The only time I actually use it is during Jim and and Margery’s show. It is so unclear to me how an app can be so bad in the year 2022. Even sitting in my house it constantly drops the stream and has to pick up again, each time repeating the darn tag line. I’ve learned that if I want to walk around my house and keep listening uninterrupted I have to turn Wi-Fi off. I simply don’t understand how every other radio station can handle technology, but this one can’t!
torpoulin17,
Can’t see full article titles
This is a great news app, especially for listening to the local station. However, the layout of the app makes it impossible to see the full article title before clicking. Makes for a poor user experience since you don’t know the story you’re clicking into.
Avid Rita,
Shuts down frequently
Very annoying--streaming cuts out frequently, requiring reboot, but often it simply will not reload. This happens occasionally with other stations, but not nearly as often as WGBH.
I listen to a lot of NPR, on both WGBH and also WBUR. I like WGBH for best local coverage of Greater Boston and also Boston Public. But I usually listen only to WBUR when streaming on iPhone because this WGBH app stinks.
The only exception: when WBUR is ( much too frequently) fundraising, I cannot tolerate listening to that. And I am a monthly contributor to both.

KitaHC,
Took away the most useful part
In previous versions of the app, you could see at the bottom what was playing now, and what was coming up next. Now the only way to find that very useful information is to tap through to schedules, find the right one, find the right time, and enlarge it to read the tiny print on your mobile device. Basically, it’s impossible to do while you are walking or running or working in the garden.

Terrific station, terrible app
For an excellent station like WGBH to have such a disaster of an app is maddening. The streaming cuts out constantly and also resets whenever the phone bounces between Wi-Fi and cellular connections, which means when I’m walking down the street the app stops every 30 to 90 seconds and then plays underwriting announcements, then requires me to dig the phone out of my pocket and press play again, etc. Really horrible.
Tom from Hingham,
With the new GBH app nothings is working!
I’m a huge GBH fan and have been listening to public radio for years - my overall favorite station has always been GBH…morning addition, 1A, J & M , the world etc…love listening to it all, BUT…after the app was changed and updated the station keeps stopping and falling out…I have stopped listening through the app and only listen on the radio when I drive.
Please FIX!!!
