Reviews

No music is being played
DenroyLaw

The app ceased working. It shows that it’s playing and no music is heard. I am currently using the website to listen to the radio station. Please fix this dilemma. Sincerely, A concerned listener


app not working since iOS update (13.3)
dwstrwa

I recently downloaded the new iOS on my iPad and iPhone and now the app does not play music. Please update the app as soon as possible.


Awesome App
Busyexec1

This has been and continues to be an outstanding app. I love the ability to listen to classical and opera. Operavore is awesome. This app does not disappoint. One suggestion, be able to purchase the music you hear from iTunes would be great and/or to save what you are listening to in order to purchase later.


Great. Alarm Clock
I am AmazingBass

I’ve been listening to WQXR since it was AM Classical music. Glad you’re still around. Just discovered the alarm feature. Hope it works well.


Oh, what joy!

I moved several months ago, and never quite figured out how to configure my new space to stream operavore easily. What made think to look for an app for my tablet, I couldn’t say, but I found it, downloaded it, and now my favorite music is back in my daily life!


Decent app & station
Benny Badman

This is one of the few exceptions to my general preferences for mp3 playlists over radio. The app is basic and mostly does what it’s intended to do. One bug I’ve noticed is that the currently-playing and recently-played tracks will stop updating after a while; restarting the app gets it working again, but it is an inconvenience. Landscape mode and on-screen volume control would be nice additions, as would a way to save a track’s info to a list so I can reference it later. And maybe a way to let a donation silence the constant nags to donate when it’s that season again. :P


Please add support for iPad.

I could never deduct any stars from this classical music gem, but it would be most welcome to have a universal app that is designed for both the iPhone and iPad. Most iPad owners hold and view their devices in landscape mode, as do the folios and stands designed for the iPad when set on the coffee table, countertop or a nightstand. WQXR is a wonderful gift to its music loving audience, and has played an important part in the lives of its listeners for decades. Looking forward to many more.


STILL missing important feature
MLaRue2

Disappointing update. The "Previously Played" STILL doesn't update as you stream the station. And there is no way to see an up-to-date playlist within the app. Otherwise a good app.


Initial screen warning
Dianeke24

If you install this app, every time you turn you iPhone on, half the screen will be filled with an announcement of what’s playing now in WQXR. Also, there’s a voice ad every time you open the app and want to access the station via Bluetooth. I’d be willing to shell a few bucks to avoid such nuisances. Improvement could include an option to view the day’s program without having to go to the daily email, which btw is great.


Would be 5, but...
Big Gei

-1 When the alarm goes off, so does the streaming. -1 It just shuts off in the middle of the night whether my phone is on LTE OR WiFi.
