Reviews
Great, but crashes!
Dabus!
This would be a five star, but whenever I click on the, “Traffic” section, the app crashes. Please fix ASAP! Thank you.
Streaming audio Inconsistent
Checker King in VA
I agree with the other reviewer, that the app does not allow streaming audio 50% of the time-even if you’re outside with good reception. I haven’t been hit with a blitz of ads yet. When the streaming audio does work, you can hear the news anchors repeatedly give out the wrong time (sometimes hours off) it makes you think they have a problem reading a clock. I also noticed the news anchors give a teaser storyline, cut to a commercial and completely forget the teaser story that they tempted you to stay tuned for. Wished WTOP app developers read these reviews and implemented fixes-and someone should buy the newsroom a large digital clock!
Too Many Ads!

When you open a story, you get redirected to a new site after a few seconds saying you won some stupid prize, and the only way to get off the page is to close the app. Makes reading any stories in depth worthless!
Notifications
Pizza crap
This was working fine then literally one day it just started send traffic notifications. I went in the app and all notifications are turned off. I turned them all on then back off to see if that would help but nope. It still sends notifications after notifications. This is getting annoying. This app needs to be fixed.
Not ready for prime time
Wondy25
I downloaded this app hoping for traffic alerts, weather and news. It doesn't have a push notification for traffic or section for weather or traffic. The news portion is worthless and not user friendly. The only other item available is WTOP's Twitter feed and you don't need an app for that. The online site is superior to this. Don't waste space for this app.
Just What I Wanted... NOT!

If I wanted to surf the net, I'd do it. All the stories just redirect you to Safari...
