i have this installed on my ipad2 and my samsung galaxy s10+. it's worked perfectly on my ipad for years and years, not a single glitch. the android experience, however, has been egregious. it crashes constantly, quite literally every minute. and really, who wants to listen to any programming in one-minute incremements? i uninstalled/reinstalled several times, nothing's helped. ultimately, i've had to delete it off my phone. please, wnyc, fix this issue for android users.

Thank you for your feedback. We recently released version 3.0.12, which fixes the vast majority of streaming issues and crashes experienced in earlier versions. When you have a moment, please update to the latest version on the Play Store.

How can I love a station so much, and hate it's app almost as passionately?? I could deal with the constant crashing (frequently right in the middle of an important interview) if I then wasn't subjected to a 'commercial' (the same one I had just listened to the previous 3-5 times it crashed in the past half hour) before I can continue listening! I'm begging you to fix this.

April 21/20, This app is a love hate relationship. Love station, hate app. Crashes & shuts off every 5 minutes or less, then mid program starts again and repeats ad promo. Love station but way too much work to make app work! It's had this problem consistently for years. Great station but the most unreliable app out there. Shuts off every few minutes. Same experience on all cell phones for 2 years, with latest updates. No other apps have this problem.
