Alaska Public Media App

I use my ear buds to listen via the home WiFi here in Anchorage and I would give 5 stars except for the apparent lack of full functionality with my ear buds. I should be able to pause and go back but it seems to drop completely. Broadcast often buffering or dropping completely as well. Have to keep resetting on my iPhone. Have good internet and range. Annoying.

I intended to rate this app 5 stars because I use it often and generally like it a lot. However, before writing this review, I scanned previous reviews and found one that complained about how clicking on the privacy policy links to a “terms of use” page for the app developer (still true). It’s essentially a riot act on what the public may do with the app, with nothing about how the developer will collect and use data about people using the app. The previous review was written about a year ago, and the issue still has not been addressed. I think Alaska Public Media may want to look into the matter and see that the privacy of their app users is respected.

I love this app. It is so comprehensive because it has the schedules for both tv and radio in one place and I can easily click and play the tv content, read articles or play audio files for the podcasts. It’s always up to date and I’ve never had a problem with it crashing or freezing.
