This version only lists a few, which is useless when needing to find a song I heard earlier in the day while I was driving. ### 1/5 — Does Anyone Read These??? *2022-05-20* Apparently the developers do not read the reviews because problems still persist 6 years later. I cannot open any other app or else this app stops. I have to close out my apps & reopen this one to get it to play again. I have to listen to commercials again when I do this as well. Super annoying. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2018-08-08* Gets hung up on the loading screen. Real shame ### 1/5 — Not functioning *2016-08-03* Just downloaded and currently only the ads play, the app works in background just fine but the actual radio function non-existent(ads play but no radio if left running). Will keep the app because the actual station is fantastic. Hope it's fixed soon ### 1/5 — WORST music app to date *2016-05-17* This app constantly crashes every 10 seconds. The screen needs to be constantly on for it to work. 101.1 wkqx should feel ashamed to make such a horrid program. *barf* ### 1/5 — poor design *2016-04-16* music starts playing when you open the app. if I want to listen, it stops when I open almost any other app on my phone. the ONLY thing I really want it is "queue it up" but either it's not available or it's impossible to find. this app needs more time and design put into it because right now it's a piece of crap. ### 2/5 — Crashes every second... *2016-02-29* I love this station and it's nice to listen to while I'm living in Indianapolis but the app keeps on crashing. Btw, it would be nice if you all played music 24/7 instead of switching to Loveline or electric playground. People want to listen to music at 1:00 am believe it or not. ### 2/5 — Crashes Since Update *2016-02-22* Love WKQX and use this app everyday at work. Or at least try to since the last update. The redesign is great but music stops ever few minutes and the app reboots to load updated content and more ads. Please fix it. ### 5/5 — AWESOME update! *2024-08-30* This update to the app is FANTASTIC! Makes me feel more connected from across the country, and love the CarPlay support! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-05-24* I miss home and this helps. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good to see Q101 back! *2022-05-26* Great music and finally the name Q101 is back on the radio where it should be! ### 5/5 — Upgraded !! *2022-05-26* App is a lot smoother now. Love Q101!!! ### 5/5 — Great station *2022-05-26* Been a fan for years. Glad it’s finally back! ### 5/5 — Righteous *2020-07-05* Cool alternative music, hilarious liners and fun DJs. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — It’s about time *2020-06-17* I’m pretty sure I mentioned something to these people nearly a decade ago when the first gen iPhone came along the lines of making an app that streams their broadcast. Not surprised coming from a station that has burned itself to the ground on multiple occasions in the last 3 decades due to multiple management teams that keep rehiring the same failures the that were around each time who just plainly don’t care about where they work as long as they get a paycheck. What’s the definition for crazy? “Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result” or something like that? Anyway, It’s about time 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — I miss this radio station *2017-08-10* I live in Madison Wisconsin now after living in Chicago for four years. I've been to PIQNIQ which was amazing and this is my favorite station of all time. I'm glad I can listen to it at work. Keep it up ### 5/5 — LOVEEEE!!!! *2016-01-02* My favorite radio station, diverse music selection, unique genre. 10/10 A+ 5 stars would recommend!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — First! *2015-08-07, version 5.0.5* OMG they made an app. They play the best music --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
