Exactly what you want and need

WDET continues produce the highest quality content on a tight budget in Detroit, MI. Their production standards are incredible and this app is another reflection of that. Exactly what I want, the way I want it. Keep it up!
Not a bad first attempt

Good mix of available options and features. I also like the on-demand music feature; very clever (possible replacement of Pandora? ;) I'd like to see host profiles from WDET offered: names, pics, bios, links to their blogs and then keep it current with updates on them (especially Craig Fahle - because he is "the man"). Next, how about a "Detroit Art" module? a place to see pics from the area, the WDET office, events and maybe a way to submit pics (after they are vetted). Finally there should really be a "news" module specific to the city and then everything else (ie. MI, North Korea, Issues and the like). Again, great start on your app; I'm glad to show it off on my phone.

I can't believe this app been out a few weeks and i'm just now finding out about it! Now i no longer need tune in radio(good riddance). I ❤❤❤ new soul sundays now i can listen to it whenever i feel like it.
So useful, but needs an update

I love the simplicity of the WDET app. There needs to be an update though since it crashes regularly and the user has to select play again once it has crashed. Thanks!
Great content, poor streaming

Unfortunately this app is constantly buffering. I can listen uninterrupted for about 30 seconds before it loses connection. This is true for me on 3G, LTE, and wifi
Great programming, needs improvement.

UPDATE to review below: On Demand completely unavailable on iPhone 4. ORIGINAL REVIEW: The app is pretty unstable (frequent crashing) and it seems to hog system resources leading to other app crashes. When iPhone is in use as a phone, app sometimes continues playing or stops altogether. When listening to On Demand, any stoppage requires going through the menu again and starting selection from the beginning. There is also no way to fast forward On Demand program, but you can rewind. (Is this in the design or a flaw?). If you do nothing else but listen to the app - flawless, but we all know this is far from how smartphones are used. It is a shame that these flaws exist when the programming is so good!
Loses connection

I love WDET and try to listen from my phone (5s) but it's more frustrating than enjoyable. The app is always buffering and losing connection. I've reinstalled it a few times over the past year or so hoping that the app has been improved, but each time I'm disappointed and eventually give up and delete it again.
