Every time you hit play, it makes you listen to two long announcements. Better off just streaming from a web browser. ### 1/5 — Overall poor *2022-02-15, version 33.0.8* I love the radio station but the app is poor. (iPhone 8). Two thirds of the screen are a fixed banner leaving only a tiny space to scroll through the available links to stream. In addition, if the stream is momentarily dropped, the app reverts back to the promotional lead-in. I understand the need to thank their supporters but please play it once when you open the app. I live in an electrically noisy environment. It’s common for my WiFi link to drop momentarily. Sometimes my phone simply plays the intro over and over and never gets to the stream. My one year update on this app is that WMAC has done nothing to improve it. I love the station but trying to stream it is so frustrating I quit listening. ### 3/5 — Apple watch, please *2021-12-29, version 33.0.8* This app is eat for iPhone and iPad but I want to listen with Bluetooth earbuds through my Apple watch,when I am out walking, so I do not have to carry my phone also. ### 3/5 — Battery hog! *2021-12-01, version 33.0.8* I have a slightly older iPhone but has no noticeable battery issues until I downloaded this app. My phone kept draining by midday suddenly. I looked at battery usage andthis app was using more than all my other apps COMBINED! Even after disabling background refresh and other settings, if I didn’t remember to fully close it after listening, it drained my battery. Had to delete. It’s a shame because ITunes does a terrible job of streaming the station and the new version of Stitcher won’t even try… please FIX the battery issue! ### 2/5 — Can’t access WAMC *2021-11-18, version 33.0.8* I listen to WAMC every morning. I no longer can access. What happened?!!!! ### 1/5 — Application was poor to begin with… *2021-10-19, version 33.0.8* This app was poor to begin with on my iPhone 11, constantly buffering, dropping the signal; especially on Mondays. With the new edition it’s horrible. I’ve given up. I’ve called the station asking for help. No success. I’ve cleared cookies. No success. Even Apple support failed in their multiple attempts to help. I’m now listening to other public radio apps without frustration. ### 2/5 — “Hamburger” Schedule” link *2021-05-17, version 33.0.7* Doesn’t work. I am using an iPad with most recent update.... ### 2/5 — Difficult to navigate *2021-04-14, version 33.0.7* App is often non responsive to whatever I press on. For example, I clicked on “schedule” - only thing that came up repeatedly was a blank page. Clicked on Caiano’s midday forecast. Pressed ‘listen’ 10 times (at least)- absolutely nothing happened. Not user friendly. It did work however when I hit listen live. Unfortunately that’s not what I wanted. Will avoid using the app. ### 2/5 — App not to good *2020-08-09, version 33.0.6* Love WAMC love NPR the app not so much. Many of us donate to the station and would like an app that works well. Please put some money time and effort into repairing the app so we can all enjoy W AMC and get all the information we need Thank you ### 5/5 — Great discussions of current events every day!! *2020-07-23, version 33.0.6* I try not to miss this stimulating daily discussion of a range of current topics. Panelists are knowledgeable and lively debates often ensue. Love it! ## Frequently asked questions about WAMC ### What is WAMC Northeast Public Radio?
