I love MVY. It’s the best radio station. However, the app has been a bit meh lately. A recent update broke its connection with CarPlay. Prior to that, it worked usually, but would sometimes freeze and require quitting the app to get it working again. It’d be amazing if the app was stable and worked perfectly with CarPlay. I’d also love it if the app, both on the phone and through CarPlay, allowed listening to the archive shows on MVY.

Not too old to remember

The old, pre-bitrate-enhanced version of the app had its share of quirks but I had figured out how to work around virtually all of them. The only ”enhancement" offered by the new app—a higher bitrate—is beyond useless to anyone listening in a vehicle, since wind and tire noise make the nominally improved sound quality impossible to detect or appreciate, and the greatly increased bandwidth burden has rendered the cellular stream non-functional at least half of the time I try to use the app. The initial problems with Apple CarPlay have been partially addressed, but those that remain—both stuttering connections and complete halts to streaming that sometimes respond to fiddling and sometimes are impossibly to safely address while driving—are maddening. I've supported mvyradio monetarily for years, but unless this app is fixed soon that support is going to be coming to an end.

Hello 👋 I have been listening to MVY Radio and have made donations for years. This last update that was done, has really screwed up the connection. Signal goes in and out. Most the time I can get the station to come on when I activate the app. PLEASE FIX! I miss listening to MVY Radio because there is no other station like it.
