Reliable and easy to open. ### 5/5 — Great for on the go *2026-03-09, version 6.2.18* Works great for me across multiple devices. Zero issues. Simple and easy to use. Great way to “stay connected” ### 4/5 — CPR Review *2026-01-14, version 6.2.18* Not as easy to use as the prior. ### 5/5 — Good to keep out out of town *2026-01-13, version 6.2.18* Moves away years ago, but it’s always nice to still be able to listen to WGUC! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2025-08-28, version 6.2.18* Don’t love that Congress defunded our public radio stations, but I do love WGUC and the app! ### 5/5 — Cincinnati Public Radio app *2025-06-12, version 6.2.18* I use this app to stay up to date while I’m working. It works great. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-03-29, version 6.2.18* I love this app! ### 1/5 — No live feed? *2025-03-27, version 6.2.18* I used the earlier iteration of this app to listen to the Morning Edition and 1A programs. It was a nuisance, because of spontaneous interruptions and glitches in the continuity, but it was better than nothing, which apparently what this current app offers. ### 4/5 — ‘GUC *2025-03-16, version 6.2.18* WGUC was the first public broadcast/classical station I listened to. I have been listening to WGUC often on since then, that would be the late 1960s or early 70s. I now live in Florida and the app gives me access to great programs such as Sunday Morning Baroque, which has been one of my favorite programs for decades. The app is not difficult to use although I must admit I don’t use it enough to have had any issues. It reconnects me to the city. I grew up in with music that I absolutely love. ### 5/5 — Great app and station *2024-11-18, version 6.2.18* WGUC is my go to station for classical music and arts in Cincinnati. The app allows for easy use while at home, on the go, and while traveling away from Cincinnati. It is a wonderful way to take some of the best things from home with us! ## Frequently asked questions about Cincinnati Public Radio ### What can I do with the Cincinnati Public Radio app?
