For a long time, ABC news has been hanging exactly halfway through -- one minute in. I get the spinning arrows, nothing else. If I move the slider, it sometimes starts playing, but always hangs again.
For several weeks CBS was doing the same thing. I get frequent hangs for NPR and CBC, semi-frequent for BBC and others.
Always the spinning arrows. Sometimes moving the slider works, sometimes not. Sometimes it will skip to the next broadcast with File Error 7. But with ABC and most others, it just hangs frozen.
This has been going on for a long time. I keep checking the App Store hoping for a fix, but there have been no updates for Hourly News.
What's going on with all the hanging? It's gotten really frustrating trying to use Hourly News. And I use it all the time!
Thanks,
B

I’m
happy to help
Have you tried completely powering off your device then powering it back on again? When you listen, do you have spotty internet connection or perhaps a switch from wifi to cellular or vice versa? File Error 7 displays when the streaming audio file was interrupted, so can you try and reproduce on a stable, fast connection and see if you get the same error?Comment -

I’m
Disappointed
Having the same problem. Have a good solid 18+ Mb broadband with multiple wifi available. The problem is with the app!!-
ABC is aware of the problem and working to correct it.

This specific ABC problem cleared up for me after a while (I'm the OP from 2 years ago).
Oddly, it's just started again, sort of -- when I'm on Wi-Fi (like at home), the ABC podcast stops almost exactly halfway through and skips to the next feed.
But if I'm on cellular data, the ABC podcast plays all the way through.
Will be interesting to see the outcome per Matt's response, if it changes the behavior.
Also... after all these years, I STILL LOVE THIS APP. It has been the top-left of my homescreen through 3 iPhone models (I think?), and I use it multiple times every day.
Thank you very much, Matt. -

bmuse,
I completely agree. I listen to it almost every day. Radio stations, have, for the most part, dropped the top of the hour newscasts even though, as a retired Broadcast Engineer, I thought they were an important part of the broadcast day.
This app makes up for that loss! -

ABC News stopping at 1:35 into the newscast!! Very irritating

ABC is aware of the problem and working to correct it after guidance from us.
