Good way to hear news/music
Jan 14, 2018 This has worked well for me to hear the news away from the radio, and the music stations offered as streams. Interface is simple, although a bit cluttered. Would like a list mode for stories where the pictures could be made smaller or have no pictures so you could see more headlines without as much scrolling. Also the player controls at the bottom of the app are large. It would be nice to be able to shrink these down as well.more -
Great NPR station!
Mar 5, 2021 CapRadio is my companion, and I like just about everything about it. There are some things that disappear over time, replaced with other things, for instance the second hour of science Friday is now gone, but I know if I am sufficiently motivated I can look that up online. I like the visual links to additional stories that you can click on, but I often wish that the visual would be there when the story opens, particularly if it could be a little larger. All in all though, I’m very grateful to have such a great station to listen to. Good job, guys!more -
Great content, very reliable, CarPlay is super
Dec 16, 2020 This is a great radio station and the app brings it to you easily. Streaming is fast and never gaps unless I’m out of cell range. The only thing I don’t get is how quickly it is evicted from memory. If I stop the car and pause the music, when I open it again it has to start up from scratch. Even if it’s only a minute or two and I’ve done literally nothing with my phone since the. Otherwise wonderful, especially Jennifer Reason and the wide variety of classical music.more -
Overall excellent but sometimes glitchy
Apr 18, 2020 We stream CPR everyday, it’s been our companion for years. The app is overall easy to use, providing current news, local, national and international. Great library of podcasts. The only disappointment is the occasional halt in the livestream - sometimes it comes back automatically and sometimes we need to restart the app. Overall a great appmore -
Pause live radio!
Nov 20, 2018 The best feature is being able to pause. So many times I’ve missed a key point because I had to step away. No longer. Simply pause and restart after a bathroom break or grabbing something out of earshot. I love selecting individual stories and sharing them with friends or family. The app makes it easy.more

Best!
Mar 30, 2018 This is one of the best radio stations I have ever used. The variety of programs is great. I never get tired of finding out new and interesting things. This station is what I listen to when I drive and it keeps me going when I am off on a walk. Walking would be boring without it. I have it on my iPad and my iPhone, so can use anywhere!more -
Does what I wanted
Mar 25, 2020 I wanted a way to stream Cap Radio classical and this app does that. The app is the current NPR-style: overly busy and difficult to navigate, but I put that on whomever NPR contracted to build it (the WEMU app is the same). I do like being able to replay shows, and that’s the main advantage over just a live mp3 stream through iTunes.more

Love live. Hard to find post-live.
Mar 23, 2020 I love being able to listen to the live broadcasts wherever I am. However when I try to find past broadcasts, it can be difficult. The organization is not that user friendly - it takes something other than your “common sense”. Otherwise, great having the news and my favorite shows at my fingertips.more -
Good app but would like to know music info
Jan 17, 2019 Good app - however, I would like to know the music information when it is being played, similar to the app for KDFC.

Not very good
Feb 27, 2021 If you listen to a particular show, you can’t come back to live radio after. You click on the live menu and just get a page full of snippets you can hear on demand (why aren’t they on the “on demand” menu instead of the “live” menu?). You have to force the iPhone to shut the app all the way down and then when you come back in, the livestream is queued up at the bottom. Not intuitive at all. The NPR app is an easier way to listen to live CapRadio.more

What’s Groovy
Everything you’ll want from Capital Public Radio is here, but finding things can sometimes be a challenge. The locations of listings for programs, playlists, and other features seem to move around, and occasionally can’t be found. The music streams provided are not exactly the same as what’s being broadcast, but still gives 24 hours of classical or jazz. Has occasional technical glitches - today while I was playing the classical music program Connections, something caused the play/pause button to freeze, and the sound to go off although according to the screen the program was still playing. May have been due to some combination of the end of the program, my iPhone locking itself, playing while on the Qi charger, and the dual control provided by the linked Apple Watch. Apps for other stations weren’t affected. Had to learn the new iPhone XR gesture to get to the App Switcher (itself an adventure) to close the app and reopen to get it to resume playing. All in all, though, still worth having.

What’s Subpar
I love NPR and contribute. This year the app has become truly awful. They had a problem of the opening commercial repeating constantly which they finally fixed by changing to one you can skip once.
Now the app will only go a few minutes at most before it stops playing to buffer. It frequently gets stuck stopped and I have to manually push play again.
This isn’t a problem with my signal strength. I tried the NPR app this morning and have been listening to News without ANY pauses to buffer. I can also stream Podcasts and even video with no problem. It is just this particular app.
They need to fire their app developers and hire someone who knows what they are doing.

Well organized app
So many applications require you to either scroll or click-thru pages to get relevant material. Everything I want is on the opening page of the app—no click-thru, no scrolling. Great if you are working from a smaller screen size like a phone. -
Long time listener
Born and Raised in Northern California San Francisco than lived in Sacramento all my life had 10 open heart surgeries I love my classical ever since I picked up a PlayStation controller Listening to Video Game Music hey video game music is classical will be a classical music and a PlayStation fanatic for a long time to come no other music expect opera !!!! -
Process operator
Having the ability to read, and listen to the news, with the option to listen to music away from the radio is great. I read an interesting article on Thelonious Monk and purchased an album based on the article. Good job Cap Radio. -
Listening to the max
This app has been quite flexible with the listening experience and the storytelling pervalance within this news and classical streaming sites and always finding a way to make a difference with donations. -
My ‘go to’ news app no matter where in the country I am.
Appreciate the outstanding reliability of this app, unlike another NPR station whose app I had to delete. Cap radio also has excellent additional stories to read or listen to that are sorted by category.
