Read their new privacy policy, it's almost Orwellian
They made a deal with the devil. Their new privacy policy seems to say that they own all the info on your connecting computer. Bye bye WBGO. It was great while it lasted.
October 2022 upgrade functions poorly
Easier to listen via the web browser. This new version is clunky, impossible to navigate and won’t work in landscape mode on the iPad. I deleted the app after much frustration. The prior version was simple and effective.
Not agreeing to Airkast
Recently became a sustaining member. Not happy with this new Airkast partnership. Loved the old app especially the sleep option. Hope I can find that option when playing thru the website. Please get rid of Airkast.
Terrible “Update”
The new app seems more interested in everything but the smooth continuous play of the on air content. I’ve been using the app since it was introduced several years ago and a listener since WBGO was “born”.
Emphasis now seems to be on push content and things like social media. Partnership with Airkast is wrong move.
I’ve gone back to listening via my browser on iPhone and iPad.
Can we get a rollback?

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’m very happy!
New App October 2022
How do we access the HD-2 stream from the app? And what’s with this overly long lack of privacy notice?
Invasion of privacy/waiving your rights
During a time when invasion of privacy has become of great importance, the new included 22 page AirKast terms and user agreement for the WBGO app, casts user privacy to the wind.
Users in California are expected to WAIVE their rights.
WBGO needs to reevaluate their partnership with AirKast.
I feel using this app will seriously invade my privacy.
There are several other apps a party can use to access online radio stations.

October 2022 version is surly
After working through the new interface of this app, I started listening as I usually do - while reading emails & scrolling websites - when the sound stopped. After I found that I had not accidentally turned it off, I discovered that this app will not connect to WBGO if I go to any browser. The app transmits what WBGO is broadcasting when I read my emails, but stops when I go to any browser.
I deleted the app.

A truly must•have app!
I first listened to WBGO when i came across it while on a drive from central NJ to Boston area, on the near-NYC portion of the trip. What a godsend! That was some 15 years ago; while my life has certainly changed in that time, i'm Very Happy to once again have WBGO to listen to, particularly without the 5 hour drive ;-)
