Easy access to my local radio station

Great and convenient app that allows me to get my local radio station from anywhere to be informed and enjoy fun programming.

Still buggy unless you have a super strong WiFi signal

I just download it and install the latest version, supposedly, of this app, and it doesn’t work any better than the old one. The programming, obviously, is great, but even in my own house with my strong mesh network, The stream from the WBAA news side frequently drops out. Now, since the radio broadcast license of the WBAA station was purchased by the public radio station in Indianapolis, this app seems to work even worse. I am constantly prompted by a message saying that I don’t have the most recent version, and would I like to download and install it? Even though I have installed this supposedly new version several times, I still get the prompts asking me if I want to update. On some days, I cannot get the broadcast stream to play it all on my smart phone.

Convenient

The app generally works well, and it is a convenient way to listen to WBAA wherever you are. It keeps telling me that a new version is available, even though I have the new version.

Always on. Always jazz.

The first thing I do when I get into my car is make sure my WBAA app is on. When I get to work, I turn on my speaker. The jazz on this station is first class. Thanks for all that jazz.
