Wonderful but frustrating

I adore this channel and have listened to it for decades. However the app is highly unreliable. When I try to read the information about the program, it immediately disappears. I end up throwing out the app several times a day. Then I reinstall it, and everything starts all over again. I can get the information I want on the website. But the app would certainly be more convenient if it functioned reliably.

Needs more reliable background information

I use this app even when listening over the air, to help identify the music I am hearing. As a result, I have learned more about some favorites, and have been able to look up more background information on Wikipedia and elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the information is delayed or not even presented for some pieces, especially at certain times during the day or night. It is frustrating when the only info is “so-and-so’s overnight classical” or something unhelpful. This may not be a defect in the app as such, but the overall service is dependent on somebody supplying the proper supporting information.

Needs work

Update on previous comments based on new release mid-May 2016:

The addition of info on what is playing is a welcome enhancement.

Unfortunately it does not seem to fix the issue I noted - playing using my iPhone on a 50/50 wi-if connection the app periodically drops the connection and does not reconnect until I go into the app. The only workaround has been and still is to disconnect from wi-go and go with the cellphone LTE connection.
--------------------
Yes, needs playlists. We want to know at least as much as you can get on the web site.

But more important it keeps dropping out. We are on a 50/50 FiOS connection but get more reliable service by turning off that and using the cell phone LTE connection. Something is wrong with the way it connects to wifi and recovers from problems it would seem.
