Error message state error connecting to internet. ### 1/5 — Getting to be terrible *2017-04-17, version 5.1.36* This was once a great app, I listened to it daily. Now it will not go more than 5 minutes without stopping or crashing. Often times when it stops it has taken me to the App Store for some goofy game! It is becoming useless to me. I am removing, maybe I will check back in the future. Very sad. ### 1/5 — Newstalk 98.7 *2016-12-18, version 5.1.36* App no longer works on my device. While my software is older, it keeps saying I can use an older version. Then, it downloads and tells me it can be updated. After updating, it repeats itself and will never open. just a constant state of update or download. if you have a new phone or IPad, it might be fine, but.. ### 1/5 — Latest update terrible *2015-03-06, version 5.0.0* When I first downloaded this app it was great! Last update is terrible. Won't stay connected anymore. Unreasonable delays, constantly spins trying to connect. No changes on my end except to update app. Very sad it updated. Wished I'd stayed with first version. :-( ### 1/5 — Poor Station Reception *2013-04-24, version 2.5.5* Dies every 5 to 10 minutes.States that Neal Boortz is on station,not true. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work at All *2013-04-01, version 2.5.5* It just stays stuck on the startup screen with a message that says "Fetching station data". Don't waste your time with this one. ### 1/5 — STOPPED WORKING! *2012-07-11, version 2.5.4* Worst App available. ### 2/5 — Seen better *2011-12-20, version 2.1.2* Good sound but it would be nice to be able to minimize and do other stuff. Also does not work well with OS 5. ### 2/5 — Simple... *2011-10-13, version 2.1.2* I get better sound quality listening on "TuneIn" and it loads faster and allows me to record and edit. IF the SMS function works it would be great to interact. Other than that, I'm gonna stick with "TuneIn". ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-07-18, version 9.1.0* Love WOKI. Best content. Radio dial set to 98.7 most of the time. The app however makes me want to throw my phone against the wall more than any other provocation. Constantly cutting out at the least nothing. And then I have to listen to a litany of ads to reclaim the programming. God I hate this app. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-07-11, version 9.1.0* This needs to be fixed ,to much ad spam that keeps the app from running correctly (fix it) ### 1/5 — Why, Google? *2022-12-25, version 8.1.5* When I attempt to open the 98.7 website, it opens in a Google website with no ability to go to the 98.7 webpage even if I “cooperate” with the Google and answer their insipid questions. I deleted the 98.7 app. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2022-07-26, version 8.0.0* Constantly loses connection. Terrible, repetitive commercials. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2021-10-11, version 6.21.0* I have to delete and download every time I use it. ### 1/5 — Privacy/ or lack there of! *2019-08-18, version 6.6.0* Better read their privacy sign off giving them permission to anything you have on-line (basically) including pins, passwords, user names etc....I kid you not! Anybody that would agree to that didn’t read it! ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2019-07-19, version 6.6.0* I love news talk 98.7 thought the app would be good turns out nothing but a bunch of advertising for game apps don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Worst Radio App Ever *2019-04-14, version 6.6.0* It’s been bad for a while with crashes and general disconnects. But what really annoyed the crap out of was the fact that now you have to sign up and login... just to listen!! What kind of nonsense is that? Whoever is in charge of maintaining this needs to be fired. If you want to see how to make a great radio app, check out WUOT. They did everything right and you don’t have to login to use it. ### 1/5 — Awful *2019-01-28, version 6.6.0* First the mile long agreement and sign on required. Then the app randomly crashes or never comes on. Terrible. More of a pain than anything. Now the ads to even listen. Half the time it won’t load at all. ### 1/5 — Been using this app for years... *2018-10-22, version 6.6.0* to listen to Phil Willams and Rush Limbaugh (the only two programs on this station worth listening to). Today I go to open the app and not only do I get a user agreement a mile long, I’m now required to also have a user name and password!?! You’ve gotta be kidding me! I can listen to Rush anywhere on the net with one click. Sorry, Phil - I deleted the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fortknox *2024-07-25, version 8.8.0* This app works great. Every time I tap it plays for hours no interference. I listen to Howland Hannity Mark Levin never have a problem thank you 98.7. ### 5/5 — 98.7 woki *2016-07-19, version 5.1.21* I'd like to see it available on the iPad as well. I love the app on the iPhone it's great to take with you. ### 5/5 — Works good *2011-10-11, version 2.1.2* I've been waiting for this app for months & it works really well for just coming out. Hopefully there will be more options in future updates but if not, oh well, it was free you know :) ### 4/5 — works for me! *2014-08-21, version 3.4.0* I get lousy FM reception inside my house, and this app allows me to listen without hearing the FM hiss. Sometimes the app locks up, but I just reinstall it. ### 4/5 — Good app overall *2012-05-11, version 2.1.2* Initially there seemed to be a problem with playing the broadcast but that was probably an issue affecting multiple radio apps. I contacted support and the station and the problem seems to now be resolved. There is a way to play the broadcast in the background while using other applications - there is a "play in background" option in the menu. Not sure why none of the podcasts are showing up in the podcast section of the app since I know they are on the website and downloaded the Hallerin Hill Show today with a different app. ### 3/5 — Connection Issues *2013-09-30, version 3.2.5* I love this radio station, but the app has consistent issues with the app, regardless if how close I am to my router. So I try to use a diff app like TuneIn Radio and it won't connect to 98.7 at all. Seems like there is fail with the site or the station here when using apps. ### 2/5 — Glitches *2023-05-24, version 8.8.0* Glitches! Glitches! Glitches! Every few minutes will just suddenly stop streaming! Very frustrating! ### 2/5 — So many adds *2023-01-20, version 8.8.0* So many adds ### 2/5 — So frustrating *2022-10-13, version 8.1.5* The app has SO many glitches! ### 2/5 — It gives you access to the station but *2016-05-31, version 5.1.21* When you open the app it immediately starts playing a 30 second add. That alone causes me to close it most of the time. If you manage to get past that then it's a great way to contact the station. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
