Bring back the old app

Several years in and this app still stops working after a few days. Temporary fix by deleting and reinstalling. Please just bring back the old app. It worked.

WBGO App

Very finicky. It was to be powered by AirKast. Couldn’t pull station up on phone and tried to delete and replace, for some reason can’t recapture app on phone. Station and music is great. I’ve been a supporter and helping to increase listeners but this has been a bad experience. Hopefully you guys can rectify from your end.

Super

This is my go- to station to stream. Excellent job on the app and website. Beautifully executed.

Auto rotate

Please make this app able to render in landscape mode for those devoted listeners with iPads docked at their desks. Thank you

Very Buggy!

This new app that WBGO has to stream their station is very buggy and constantly crashes. Why changed from the old one is beyond me. it was easier and nicer to use, and I don’t remember it ever crashing.

WBGO, a little help, please?

Jazz Is My Life!

I usually live streamed via the web and lately encountered some transmissions issues (which they admitted to). So I tried the app on my phone and listened to jazz all night without any problems here in Manila. Just downloaded the app to my iPad. I was very happy! Three months later the app is suddenly shutting off after 2 minutes. I’ve reloaded the app on both my iPhone and iPad but it doesn’t help. I’m changing the rating from 5 stars to 1 in hopes that it might get better. Now I’m frustrated and not happy at all.

Airkast App is Awful

The switch to the Airkast app has been terrible. The volume level between dj talk and a song is very inconsistent. Sometimes soft than to loud. The app stops and starts often. The page navigation is not intuitive. I have reinstalled the app a few times with no changes. I have been a longtime online listening member and Airkast is a step backwards. Please rethink a new app.

NO to Airkast

Clicked on the app and was greeted by a long screed in tiny print from something called Airkast. The only thing I could make out on my phone screen was the part that read something like “agree to this or else”. I don’t agree. NO to Airkast.

Starting and stopping songs with this app with my AirPods

For some reason, I can’t start or stop this app with my AirPods. It also doesn’t work when connected to a docking station in my mind in a face to the Apple Store and stop feature is not there.

Bad Privacy Policy

The privacy terms of the new app are unacceptable. Also, privacy is managed by AirKast, NOT Newark Public Radio, which is listed as the developer. Very misleading. I love wbgo but deleted the app and hope the station will reconsider its vendor. I see I’m not the only one.
