Classical Music Radio WQXR Reviews

Very disappointed

LJKAGAN

Does not work with Voiceover. As a blind person and a lifelong listener I am Since the program is unusable I wanted to give it a zero but the form wouldn’t allow it.shocked that the app is totally inaccessible.

A treasure to have for your NYC Commute

I love streaming when I’m at home or biking. But what makes this app invaluable is it’s ability to download classical music for your underground commute, where streaming is not available.

Great with one grouch

So Love this app! play all the time when I’m walking my dogs. Only thing is when I whip out my iPhone to see what’s playing and it just says Operavore. Will get five stars when it always shows you what’s playing.

Recent update caused issues

Skandal98

Lifelong WQXR listener, and fan of the last version of the app. However, after a late 2017 update, I can no longer use (or even open) the app - maybe issue with older iPhones? Pretty bummed :(

Update your app for iPhone X

Update the app and your ratings will improve.

Essenttial apps

Sa1N

Please add the features that KUSC have in their app. Favorites which allow the songs to be pulled through YouTube. Ability to change stream signal to 128kps.

Poor tablet support

SF Wino

Is it that hard to support the app going into landscape mode when user is using a tablet and doing all their other apps in landscape?

Does what it needs to do.

And satisfies my insatiable thirst for opera (though the Operavore playlists could use a little variety at times--I can recognize the triumphal procession from Aida within a note or two, and the bloody Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin should never be played anywhere ever, and that includes at weddings and performances of Lohengrin). The only things to get it up to 5 stars would be chromecast support and the name of the current track on the lock screen rather than the general stream description.

Good Programming, Poor Audio

Elixir357

WQXR programming is very strong, with excellent hosts and commentary. Unfortunately, much of the audio is overdriven and distorted - an oversight in the stream's audio signal chain. This isn't something I've experienced with any other classical stream - or any app for that matter. It seems to be a problem unique to the WQXR app. I would love to use the app more. But sometimes, with loud, crunchy dynamics, I just have to switch to MPR or KUSC.

Easy Listening programming

simon124

WQXR plays way too much awful movie music and Americana with some great classical sprinkled in occasionnally. More "easy listening" than classical. Usually have to turn it off after 20 minutes.
