Simply awful user experience     Content great the app is awful doobadoo2
Hi can u add a black or navy theme to the WNYC app It s blinding the white is so dang bright even with my settings tweaked I find it so difficult to listen at night because if feels like my retinas are burning especially when trying to select a show Easily a five star app otherwise thanks                 Darkness Please dlaz33k
Love the programming and I listen every day but this app completely drains my battery             Love WNYC but Tata88
It crashes all the time     Glitchy YoboyZz
Don t bother Used to listen while I worked Now frustration with this app keeps me from working     Used to work now fubar MisterPerry
Thank you WNYC for creating this app Like many in my generation I do not own an FM AM radio and certainly do not walk around the city with one I am now in the habit of tuning in to Morning Edition while getting ready for work and commuting I like having access to live public radio rather than just podcasts                     Great app and content jonc10001
And I love this app What s wrong Please fix it     The app keeps crashing MCH586
Like the title implies the app is unbelievably glitchy but I honestly could not live without it I love you WNYC                 Glitches galore worth it roleje
The programs often stop and I have to reopen the app to restart         Frustrating Steeevv
App no longer works can t search for a show     What happened Jrn167
I like this app for the streaming of live programming but using it to stream non WNYC programming was frustrating I would open up the app and find no recent programs were available such as Marketplace WNYC needs to relaunch this and consider getting rid of some content offerings         I gave up on this app strangle the cat
I am a big fan of WNYC This app makes listening so convenient wherever I am You can also access all the station s shows and podcasts A must                     Couldn t do without stormville
This is a terrific app for streaming WNYC live and for looking at their various materials The only thing it could use is better buffering support so that when you leave somewhere with a wifi connection you don t lose it once you re on data Otherwise fantastic                     Great app could use small fix Edward Ashton
I am a New Yorker currently living elsewhere I listen to this app everyday and feel very connected to my native city and the world Bravo                     Fantastic Jazz fish
I love this app but it recently started pausing intermittently         App keeps pausing audio maxnepstad
Keep it up                     Love the new Talk feature imalea
Last two versions of this application completely fail every time Do not upgrade Updated January 29 2015 I uninstalled the application and then reinstalled and it works from time to time Still crashes 75 of the time but Im able to access the discoverabledownloaded content This application still needs a serious fix     iPhone 6 Fail
A recent app upgrade will hopefully be tweaked to make it better Content wise WNYC delivers worldclass programming Lovin it more than any other radio app I have and Ive got plenty from east to west coast              WNYC is awesome app is OK
Im not sure why the developers can get away with such a terrible product or why the sponsors want to be synonymous with failure but I have had this ap and tried to use it nearly every day for 2 years and it fails 50 of the time I love Wnyc so keep trying like a fool hoping that a new phone6 or update will fix it to no avail Please get your act together JLGreene and WNYC     Worst bugs ever
the most infuriating app ever No matter which way you scroll the main screen will scroll right Without fail Every Single Time I hate this app I like WNYC but I hate this app     Could be
What once was buggy is now cured Discover works great                 Now works on iOS 8
None of the individual shows work They crash immediately after selecting the show It works if you want to hear whats playing live on WNYC but there are other apps for that which work just as well So there is no point to download this app unless you want to hear previously recorded shows but the app crashes if you want to do that        Only works when streaming On Air
This would be a great app but it rarely works Whenever iOS updates it takes a month or more for this app to work again When its working consistently you need to either stay on WiFi or always use 4G If you try to switch between WiFi and 4G you need to restart your phone to get the app to work again One would think that a 21st century application would be able to handle a 20th century technology But oh well     When It Works Its Great
Love the discover feature as well as the ability to star favorite shows so they can be found easily without scrolling through a long list The saved audio makes podcasts obsolete Sometimes when using this via my phones Internet versus my home wifi it stops and starts the audio intermittently However this may be more of an issue with the connectivity with my phone Occasionally crashes              Great app
Previous version started to crash today Stupidly I upgraded Now it doesnt even stay on the screen to send report about malfunctioning Fire the team working on this app     Crashes
But this app still needs work Live stream frequently cuts out and the app needs to be quit and relaunched to get the audio to return           Great programming top Public Radio station
The new update for iPhone is not working properly Fix that and this app gets 5 stars           Great app Bad update
The app loses my discover playlist after Ive downloaded and either closed the app or let my phone go to sleep When I come back to finish listening to a story on the list its very often gone and when I hit the back button I get the swirling icon that says finding some gems as if I hit the refresh button These days Im surprised when a playlist Ive downloaded is still there when I come back to the app This has been an issue through the last few updates Would be really great if you resolved it The discover feature is a great way to get through my daily commute underground           Discover Feature still buggy
Im a new convert to NPR and WNYC especially Im very happy now that this update has fixed many of the issues I was having previously excellent app now                 Cant live without it
Any of the podcast or discover features causes the app to crash Didnt used to Please update soon        Was good Now crashes
I downloaded the crucial download and while the layout seems improved it lags a bit when scrolling through the shows Besides that Im a fan of the content from WNYC           Good content a bit glitchy
This app doesnt do the most basic function it should do simply play a live stream of whats being broadcast on the air right now           Why cant I just hear live radio
Discover feature crashes every time     Crash
before release of iOS 8 this app was great love being able to stream from multiple stations with the new OS it keeps cutting out please please fix        still buggy cuts out
App looks good and is easy to use Great content too But it keeps cutting out every time I listen and I have to manually restart Im listening via wifi and its not a loss of signal because other streaming apps dont have this problem        Keeps cutting out
Love the app in theory especially the Discover feature But I have been unable to use it for the past two weeks because it crashes immediately upon opening on my iPhone five        Too many crashes
This version disables live stream on iPad Worked fine in previous version I never should have upgraded     Terrible
Will be a great app when they get it working It goes out and downloads a bunch of NPR type podcasts based on your preferences and how much time you have to listen daily You get exposure to all kinds of podcasts you may not know about BUT About 75 of the podcasts it downloads will cause the app to halt and close out It seems related to the podcasts themselves One might play and always play and another will consistently cause the app to close out Running iOS 802 ipad Air I will wait till Nov or Dec 2014 and see if things get better           Would love it if it worked
The Discover feature crashes the app every time this feature is so NOT ready for prime time Im not sure why the developer rolled it out to production but now they need to fix it please Its a great idea I love WNYC Ive been using the NPR app to stream it for years I want to use products developed by WNYC so please get this app up to speed     Good idea in concept
Until I updated I used the app on iPod newish iPod bought 10 months ago     Cant open the app anymore
When it works its great I love the Discover feature But it crashes a lot with iPhone 6 Im constantly deleting and reinstalling It will work for a few days and then crash again           iPhone 6 Bugs
This was a GREAT app before IOS8 now it just crashes Its useless and unstable Why hasnt it been fixed How am I supposed to get the news on the subway bros     What happened
This app needs an update it is extremely buggy Its frustrating because the content is wonderful Buggy unresponsive to the touch numerous times     Buggy
Definitely recommend it to those that listen to podcasts              Amazing listening experience
The critical update I took today deleted my favorites Other than that the content is great At times though it seems that for some of the shows updated content is somewhat inconsistent I dont have any performance issues with the app           Issue with critical update
Im glad to see Im not the only one who has had problems with this app I love wnyc and would love to listen everywhere all the time but the app makes this impossible I am always getting stuck on one show or one screen I just deleted and reinstalled it in hopes that somehow it will work a little better this time around Please genius app developers find a way to make this app work smoothly        Disappointing app
When I create a playlist using Discover with the three News labels the playlist loads every time with no problem Books is a different issue At some point during the download process the app crashes When I try to reopen it the app prompts an error reporting message but will crash again This does not end until I erase the app and download it anew This is a shame because I raved about this app when it first featured the Discover feature and now it cant do one of its advertised features        Books on Discover doesnt work
There are a few bugs in the air but recent updates seem to have patched many of them I think the stellar content deserves a high review There is nothing better than WNYC                 Content Over Bugs
I thought I was the only person experiencing these crashes but the reviews say differently WNYC is a great station but a real NPR fan should go with the NPR app instead        Crashes
I deleted this before I got through even one podcast it paused every other minute for seemingly unknown reasons the pause bar was still visible so the podcast was ostensibly playing If I clicked pause and play sometimes it would restart other times if I clicked back to the menu then on the podcast again it would restart It made no sense and made for a terrible listening experience     So choppy and awful
I am an avid listener of many WNYC shows and loved be able to easily find and download content on the app Unfortunately the app is full of bugs runs slowly crashes frequently and ended up being unusable Not worth the time or frustration     Frustrating app
It sounds like a great idea but it has NEVER worked for me Anytime I initiate playback whether I have Internet connection or not it crashes     Doesnt work
Fabulous content Cant be beat Easy to use app Tech wise a bit glitchy here there yet overall quite reliable Listen daily a contributer Thank you WNYC              Fabulous content
I love WNYC and have no trouble streaming it on PCs But the iPhone app has been a huge disappointment and source of frustration Constant dropouts and restarts mean Im constantly missing parts of stories and have taken to listening to podcast versions of WNYC programs where available instead How can it be that the premiere public radio station in the worlds greatest city can have such a buggy app Thats a question WNYC should be asking Five stars for WNYC content one star for WNYC app     Terrible App for Great Station
This app has so many great features but sadly it rarely works properly It crashes freezes and generally bugs out on a regular basis Its such a shame because the features really are wonderful for those of us who love WNYC        Great appwhen it works
App has been almost impossible to use since iOS 8 beta and now ios 8s official release Still no update Still can use     Used to love it
Discover feature is greathowever much radio you want when you want it I havent had any of the trouble other people are complaining about on this version Also great to be able to listen in whenever                 Discover feature is unique
Continues to crash after updated AND deleting and installing twice Turning off phone Etc iPhone 6 latest version all OS X updates     Keeps crashing
Why does my saved audio keep disappearing Sometimes during playback it just starts overhow come And when I try to use Discover it just crashes Please help Ive really loved this app in the past        So frustrating
Love the discover feature Hate that I have to delete and reinstall the app every time I want to us any feature in the app Frustrating        Livehate relationship
They claim to have fixed various bugs but I will never know as the app will now quit right at startup screen I rebooted my iPhone 5S to no avail DOA This is a wonderful concept particularly like the Discover feature that has been very buggy since its inception Time to call in a new development team     Do not bother
Great App Enjoy the Discovery feature                 Very innovative
Get network error when I select Shows option on my up to date iPhone 5 Works properly on my iPad           Shows option doesnt work
I wake up to WNYC and I browse through the newsletter that s in my inbox every day Today the newsletter suggested bingeing on Serial which I have been meaning to get around to So I opened the WNYC app clicked on Shows and voila Network Error Try Again I recall seeing that message the last time I tried to look up a program through the app Guys go back to the drawing board and please dont come out until youve got a welldesigned and working app Ill wait        Still needs work
Never have I had an app that has so many bugs and crashes so often And the most frustrating part is I love WNYC so much     A really crappy app
I agree with the reviewer who said the app team should be fired Its time for people to write directly to Laura Walker to not just demand a working app Ill gladly accept one without bells and whistles but to threaten pulling their membership if it isnt fixed Theres no excuse for code this shoddy     Unacceptable
