Unreliable
Great content but streaming cuts out very frequently - especially annoying when trying to listen to the news on All Things Considered. This has been going on for quite some time. Please fix this!

Unreliable
Great app when it works. Sometimes it will not let you change the sleep time. One night I had it set for 4hours. The next night I set it for 2 hours and pressed save. Over 2hours later the app was still going. I checked and it had reset itself back to 4 hours and would not let me change the time. The only way to change it was to completely close the app and start over. If not for this irritating issue it would be 5 stars. Follow up. App still defaults to its own sleep time. Only now it is 2 1/2 hours instead of 4. Subtracted one star. Update: App has improved. The only issue I have now is that if you set a time on the sleep timer you cannot change it without completely exiting the app and starting over. You can scroll the number to what ever you want. The time returns to the previous setting. Update: There have been some improvements. You can now change the sleep timer with no issues. But it still defaults to 2 1/2 hours. So be sure to check it every time you use it.
