  1. 5/5Great App, wish it would go into landscape mode on my iPad.

    I’ve used this app for years, especially when I travel to connect with Michigan Radio, so far, anywhere in the world. My sole gripe is that it only presents in portrait mode on my iPad, making it awkward on my landscape-configured iPad. Surely this isn’t a difficult thing to include in future revisions?

  2. 2/5Recent problem

    The stream stops playing when you go to another app or even just to your Home Screen on the iPhone. This was a problem years ago that had been fixed for a long time. But the problem is back again. Makes it much less convenient to stream Mi Public.

  3. 3/5Irritating stutters!

    Every day the transmission is interrupted and my screen tells me that Michigan Radio is “buffering”, often at critical moments in the news A few seconds or minutes later reception resumes This does not happen with my other NPR stations such as KERA in Dallas or WJCT in Jacksonville I wrote to the Ms Turner, the head of Michigan Public, asking that she have the problem corrected But the answer was— Nothing can be done at this end So the problem lies with the developer, Jacobs Media, which should solve the problem by upgrading the app Go do it for heaven’s sake, Jacobs!!!

  4. 3/5Inefficient app

    Cannot see what’s currently playing (or upcoming schedule) from within the app. To see what’s playing, must click drop-down menu, choose “Show Schedule,” which then opens a browser window! For developers: check out WGVU’s app; it is much more user-friendly.

  5. 2/5The app intermittently stops playing. Here are some details:

    The app intermittently stops playing. Using it here at the house with WiFi available. . Plays for 5 minutes then stops for 5 seconds. Plays for 1 minute then stops and restarts after maybe 10 seconds; or 20 seconds or just plain stops altogether. Sometimes it will replay the initial boot up station promo. Most times it just restarts where it left off. It doesn’t actually crash and disappear. I tried using a lower playback fidelity and that hasn’t cured the problem. I don’t know what else to try. In the last hour have successfully used the Apple “Podcasts” app and had no problems whatsoever. iOS 13.3.1 iPhone XS Max 256GB
