### 4/5 — Music Identification

*2025-09-08, version 6.2.4*

I like the ability to see what is being peformed and the music organization with conductor visually. Special shout out to those who also provide those details audibly as well. Keep up the good work.

### 4/5 — WRCJ

*2024-03-03, version 4.6.33*

The signal does not come in well over the radio in southwestern Ontario have to use app. App works well and comes in clearly but I can’t use it for the bird as he’s father away and has to listen to static…..

### 5/5 — Great Programing!

*2023-10-22, version 4.6.9*

As a lover of both classical and jazz music, I love this station. A local station does have the same format but the weekends are reserved for other genres

### 5/5 — Best station!

*2023-10-03, version 4.6.9*

I left MI in 2020 and I’m still listening to WRCJ in Atlanta! Your station and music helped me get through some really rough days at work in MI. I now listen to it when I’m traveling around the country too 😁. Such amazing music all day even though I’m no connoisseur of classical or jazz! I plug my ears with this music at work daily and it helps me to focus and relax while learning about the music, composers being played at the time. So many wonderful hosts that are a pleasure to listen to. I listen to it if stuck in traffic. I chuckle when I hear MI traffic report reminding me of all the highways and roads I used to travel on for 20 yrs! I have even introduced this app/station to family in other countries! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Update: the last few weeks (sept/Oct), the app doesn’t hasn’t been working well.  Music just stops or play button does nothing despite good connectivity.  Please fix it.  I had to delete and download the app again twice in two weeks!

### 5/5 — Love WRCJ

*2023-03-15, version 4.5.68*

Missed it so much when we moved to the Pacific NW. We are so glad to access excellent classical and terrific jazz via the app! You still cut out periodically tho.

### 5/5 — So lucky to have this station!

*2023-02-04, version 4.5.68*

Classical and jazz, great variety, knowledgeable and entertaining personalities and live broadcasts of our fabulous Detroit Symphony Orchestra!

### 5/5 — Excellent app, Michigan’s best Classical and Jazz.

*2023-02-03, version 4.5.68*

A wonderful and easy way to listen to some of the world’s best music, streamed to your favorite bluetooth device. Curated and delivered by passionate and knowledgeable people who foster learning and appreciation of the Arts in general. Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-01-31, version 4.5.68*

The WRCJ app is great! I can listen to the best music anywhere! This app is very convent and makes me feel warm inside. I love that I can listen without using power. I listen every morning and all throughout the day.

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2022-09-14, version 4.5.23*

The best and only station on the radio

### 5/5 — Couldn’t live without

*2022-08-31, version 4.5.23*

101.9 has been a huge musical part of most of my life. The peace and calm that it gives makes life a lot easier. Always grateful for this station!

### 5/5 — App is great

*2022-08-03, version 4.5.23*

App is great. Very stable playing the station over wifi or cellular. It is light years better than the mobile browser media player. Long live We Are Classical and Jazz

### 5/5 — Great App for a Great Station

*2022-03-25, version 4.5.23*

Thanks for providing high quality in everything you do WRCJ!

### 5/5 — Wonderful radio station!

*2022-03-05, version 4.5.23*

We are so fortunate to have a classical station in Detroit! I am still learning about jazz, but I am thankful that they can both come together so that we can have a station that celebrates the making of music in Detroit. I love the mornings and evenings with Dave- having been inspired for lessons with my students by a piece I heard on my way in, in the morning, and in the evening, sometimes the traffic & day can be met with nothing but classical. I love the live concerts they offer, from the DSO- again, we are so blessed! My students have benefited from those too. The morning Sousa Alarm even has a special place in my day! Thank you! :)

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2024-09-06, version 6.2.4*

It doesn’t work about 95% of the time. I’ve given up and listen to a different station on line.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-10-26, version 4.5.23*

The radio station is great but the app is horrible. 90% of the time it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2022-03-23, version 4.5.23*

You should look at other classical station websites much better and much easier to guide

### 1/5 — App is very bare bones

*2020-09-15, version 4.4.32*

Was forced to download this thing and it needs to be more consumer friendly honestly. Coming from someone in the graphic design field, Its got nice music sure but the app lacks an appealing design thats easy to read.

### 2/5 — Excellent app, Michigan’s best Classical and Jazz.

*2024-01-30, version 4.6.9*

A wonderful and easy way to listen to some of the world’s best music, streamed to your favorite bluetooth device. Curated and delivered by passionate and knowledgeable people who foster learning and appreciation of the Arts in general. Keep up the great work.

### 2/5 — App cuts out at irregular intervals

*2020-08-12, version 4.4.32*

WRCJ is great, but the app has a fundamental flaw when I’m using it. On my iPhone 8, at irregular periods it will cut out, and I will need to open the application and hit “play” for it to come back. No other application seems to be causing this and I’m not losing connectivity to WiFi or data. No idea why it’s happening. If it weren’t for this, I’d give it five stars.

### 3/5 — Needs some work.

*2022-01-23, version 4.5.23*

I love having an app to listen to WRCJ. There are some fixes that need to be worked on. The station will stop playing quite often. Sometimes it won’t even allow the station to play. You also can’t easily locate the play button. It’s on the bottom and collapsed.

### 3/5 — Classical music yes. Jazz no.

*2020-11-24, version 4.4.68*

I like the classical music they play. But I am not a fan of the style of jazz they play at night. It’s not a relaxing style jazz. So after 7pm I listen to classical KUSC from L.A. Or WLOQ smooth jazz from Orlando.

### 3/5 — Great content - app needs help

*2020-10-30, version 4.4.32*

I enjoy listening, but this app inevitably crashes after an hour or so of streaming the live programming. My rating represents a mix of content (five stars) and app performance (no stars).

### 3/5 — Loses connection too often

*2020-02-04, version 4.4.32*

Several times a day the app loses connectivity.  Annoying.

### 5/5 — Love it!!

*2026-09-12, version 12.0.3*

Love the station and the app! I’m a fan of jazz and live in Kalamazoo. I first got turned on to this station via Radio Garden and then decided to get the app after attending the fabulous Detroit Jazz Festival this fall (2026).

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-03-05, version 6.2.4*

Best people and radio station in the world. I will continue to listen.

### 5/5 — The is great and WRCJ even more so!

*2025-09-07, version 6.2.4*

The app works very well. I have never experienced any technical problems with it. WRCJ as a radio station has done a great job of not falling prey to the sometimes-problematic nature of NPR. Detroit Public Radio is great because it is not National Public Radio.

### 5/5 — Best App

*2025-03-09, version 6.2.4*

This is the best app I have on my phone. It is my go to place at most days.🙂🙃

### 5/5 — WRCJ Goes to Naples

*2025-02-22, version 6.2.4*

Going back and forth to Florida is such fun and I always take 90.6 with me ..I am proud to support this great station.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-01-26, version 6.2.4*

Awesome!  Thanks.  We love waking up to your music.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-07-26, version 6.2.4*

It’s an amazing app the programs, music and everything is clear and with a great quality, I love listening wherever I am.

### 5/5 — The hottest, the coolest, the swingin’est, the stellar WRCJ!

*2024-05-27, version 6.2.2*

My favourite radio station, my favourite app, my favourite hosts, and my favourite music library. I love you, WRCJ!

### 5/5 — The Best!!

*2024-05-22, version 6.2.2*

Can’t live without WRCJ turned on in the house! The Best!

### 5/5 — No talk, just music. I Love it!

*2023-11-25*

I left Detroit in 2021 having discovered this station only a few years prior. Oh how I’ve missed listening to classical in the morning and jazz in the evening. What a therapeutic treasure this station has been and how excited I am to find this app now. No talk, just music… just how I like it!
