Poor app

QRguy

The app provides no information about what is being performed. It cuts out after a few minutes. Worthless.

Great!

Works well for me. The best radio station.

Often, I'm in my car and have to get out before a piece ends. If it's unfamiliar, I have to remember to go to my computer to look it up at the main WFMT site. Playlists are the only reason I would install this app.

Wish it worked..

But it only streams for 10-15 minutes tops before discontinuing the stream. Got the app after visiting Chicago last year to hear Mahler 2 at Ravinia. Trying to listen to July 4 programming today, but it's too big a hassle to continually restart the app. My wifi is strong and fast, so that's not the issue.

I love WFMT, the station! But the app...

The station is awesome! Carl Grapentine & Candice Agree on one stage? What amazing knowledge, voices and intellects! You are two such different people, and yet you keep the flame alive - music for the mind, body, and spirit delivered to Everyman. It is not just for the salon, but also the construction site. I should know about the latter; it actually happens! :o) All kidding aside, the app is pretty good, but it does require some attention. Just my humble opinion, but I believe these fixes would get consistent 5-star ratings: First, Lately, my livestream title has been stuck on a Violin Concerto by Max Bruch, a lovely piece of music, but it has not told me what has been playing since then. Why would this happen? I will trying deleting and reloading the app, but it is taking a long time... Second, And while on the subject of what has been playing, how about a playlist? You know, what was just on, what’s on now, coming up, etc.? Third, And then how about a recommended deep dive on each selection, starting with concert notes from recent performances around the world. I am sure the CSO or LFS would be happy to lend their notes to the effort (with proper citation of course), and fill in from other organizations, near and far. We have to stick together!

Weak app

Joining with the others as to the need to re-engineer this app. It inexplicably quits too frequently. Today I tried the WCRB app for Boston. My iPhone 6+ kept the signal down the hall to the floor laundry! That was after WFMT “died” and wouldn’t come back until a phone reboot.
