User Reviews for Wisconsin Public Radio App

On Demand 5 stars, Listen Live 2 stars

LOVE the On Demand section. The lineup of WPR and national programs is outstanding. The live streams, though... 🤦‍♀️. The initial promo/Info spiel at launch can be absurdly long (don’t count on catching all the top-of-the-hour news unless you launch the app well ahead of time), the feed is unreliable, and ID spots sometimes break randomly into programs rather than at the standard breaks. I have superfast WiFi and robust cell service, and my phone is my radio, so the buggy performance is maddening. I have the WNIJ, WBEZ, and WBUR apps on my phone so I can switch when the WPR app lets me down.

Lots of buffering problems

I’ve used this app for years and am a huge fan and member of WPR. At times, and seemingly more frequently with the latest upgrade, the app nearly constantly pauses for buffering. The sponsor message will often reply when the stream goes again. I’ve switched to other streaming services at the same time, including NPR One, to test if it is the Wi-Fi connection and had no problems with the streaming on those apps.

Some Simple changes and bug fixes would make this a four-star

I’m glad to have the ability to listen to over the air radio on my phone, but this app could use some work.A) The news articles on the landing screen should have the option to listen to the story without having to go to the website.B) The bottom of the screen with the play control covers up the link to the Npr website and in some cases it impossible to click to go to the website. The play button at the bottom of the screen seems to be completely useless since you have to go to View the website version in order to listen to the story, and ironically the play button covers up that link

Constantly lose connection

For years I’ve listened during the morning especially. Now for the last 2+ months I have been constantly kicked out. I’ve tried moving locations in my house, time of day, staying in place - nothing works! I can’t even remember the last time I heard a whole report without interruptions! Ugh! Please fix this now! Your program is especially important now during the epidemic. As a long time supporter I feel especially frustrated and disappointed. Yours is the only local/national news I can trust without hesitation.

Joyful

Delightful music, interesting and captivating programs, and easy to digest news coverage. WPR is always excellent. The app only improves in my personal opinion. Some are saying when they call or look at something else they are kicked off their program. This does not happen on my phone. If I use sound in other apps I can return and pick up right where I left off. I’m listening to it as I write this review. The update color and design is neat, clean, and organized. An overall very satisfying experience. More than any other app I have. What would I do without WPR. Thank you.

Very disappointed

My husband and I have been supporters of WPR for a very long time because I am an avid fan of Chapter A Day. (My parents listened to the program during the school day back in the 1940s and 50s!) The update is so different and not accommodating. I try to listen each day during the broadcast time but sometimes can’t. Before the update, I could find the program later in the afternoon or evening and listen and keep up with the story. Now I must wait at least until the next day and sometimes Monday of the following week to listen. I don’t like the Main Page at all. I can’t get to the choices I want. The previous Home Page worked well. I also encounter many of the same buffering problems and get “kicked off” the program when I pause. It’s not that I’m an older adult not navigating the site well. The previous format made sense and was easy to use. I feel my choices are limited, now. At least when I go to Florida this winter I can TRY to keep up with the stories. Thank you for continuing Chapter A Day all these years. It’s just harder to enjoy, now.

Disappointing source for WPR content

There are only a few fresh WPR news feed stories added each day (at best), but there is plenty of content on the WPR site that could be migrated onto the app. This makes no sense and is a huge miss given how many of us get news on our mobiles now. The NPR app has a great feed, so there is no need for me to get their content from the WPR app. There are only 2 things this app needs to do well: streaming and a story feed. It seems like a part-time intern could do the postings, so… what gives?

Huge learning curve

I've lost track of every program I've started to listen to since I updated 2 days ago. When my phone rings or for some other reason I have to leave the WPR app, when I get back it doesn't just pick up where it left off; it's not intuitive how to continue from where I left off. So far very unimpressed with this update. I don't want to spend a week learning an app that I have come to rely on to be my constant companion throughout the day and night. If I have the time to learn this app and I find I love it, I'll change my rating. But for now it's a 2.

Confusion

I find the new app very confusing and don't see the need for all of those show 'windows' or icons or whatever they are. For me, when I turn on the radio I just want whatever is playing and don't care to go back. The old app had a method for going back in time. This fancy stuff is totally unnecessary. ALSO why the heck would there be a “feature” that brings you the old stuff that was on the previous evening on Terry Gross Show, for instance, when you turn on the radio in the morning for Morning Edition? The blurb at the bottom of the screen SAYS Morning Edition but what is playing is whatever was last on, TerryGross Show! Stupid!

I love this App. No more driveway moments.

I love this App. No more driveway moments. When I drive to work listening to WPR on the care radio and have to be on time I finish listening to to the sowe on demand latent in the day. When I drive listening to WPR are on the radio don't get into my driveway, my phone connects to my home WiFi and I keep continue listening to WPR through the live stream.And if I have those I herded on WPR moments I go too the on demand section and play the part I'm referring too.The new version is great. And everyone how complainers, should take their time to get familiar with something new before thy give a rating.
