The app works much better than the radio reception I get in Canton. When I worked in Asheville, I went through three different stations on my commute. But using the website is not intuitive. Update: I have tried to use the Alarm/Sleep feature. Alarm turns on at default time; resetting it and reinstalling app have not helped. The Sleep feature will not turn on and offers no way to set it to play the Classical rather than the News station.

Content needs to be updated on a more frequent basis. There seems to be lots of starts and stops with programming even with a constant signal through the carrier there are periods of dead air and in some cases with certain programs they will stop and start over again several times. This is after updates and clearing any cache.

Nice to switch between WCQS and BPR. Buffers more than I'd like though. Update: 3/20 not experiencing buffering issues anymore. Love that I can listen on my phone when working outside or moving around the house Update: 9/17/21- has returned to almost constant buffering, worsening in last few months, no changes in my internet, reinstalled app. I love BPR! Thank goodness I still have a radio in the house.
