I wish it would remember where you left off on a show so you could leave and come back like you can on other apps, even the Npr app holds your place ### 4/5 — WBHM: Birmingham, Al. *2022-06-14* This station along with all of public Radio & TV, Does so much, it is impossible to imagine the airways with it. WBHM, thank you. ### 4/5 — Easy to use. More local news/programming needed. *2019-11-07* Allows me to get to the programs I missed due to life. Easy to navigate with top stories, streams, and on demand. More local news/programming needed. Not as accessible for screen reader users as it could be, but that’s true for all NPR & State PR apps. ### 5/5 — WBhm! *2018-10-28, version 3.9.11* I just moved to Birmingham and this app is wonderful ### 5/5 — WBHM app *2018-09-19, version 3.9.11* Great app!

Keeps defaulting back to start when I try and access the programs. 😣😣 ### 1/5 — App always cuts out *2024-06-06* I am an avid follower of NPR and am a sustaining member of WBHM. I would use this app more, but it is soooooo frustrating because it consistently abruptly “cuts out” without warning. It happens when the phone is stationary or when I am on the move. It happens on WiFi and on cellular. I even contacted the app developer to see what could be done to fix this and they were helpful but never fixed the issue. I sure wish this were a better app…I’d use it more. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-03-08, version 2.1.7* Closes after running for 5 seconds ### 2/5 — Initial jabbering *2026-04-13* I don’t like the female voice that jabbers each time I open the app. Very annoying. Please just start the programming - you’ll have a much more generous listener. ### 2/5 — Needs work. *2019-10-29* Takes way too long to load. Loads stuff I never use. I just want to land on the WBHM broadcast without waiting to be served everything at once. ### 2/5 — Love this app, when it works!! *2017-08-08, version 3.8.8* I enjoy being able to listen when I'm at work, but it will only work part of the time and NEVER when I connect to the local Wi-Fi. ### 3/5 — Bigger play button! *2025-10-02* Using this in the car I often miss the play button and end up on some other screen with no play button ### 3/5 — Love it when it works *2025-02-20, version 6.2.28* Breaks EVERY DAY!!! ### 3/5 — Cuts out too often. *2017-03-29, version 3.8.8* I love WBHM and love the app when it works. The only frustrating thing is that it will randomly quit streaming/ force closes. ### 4/5 — Speedy *2026-08-10* Panning screen view is good but moves too fast ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So Happy to Have the App *2026-08-02* I can enjoy WBHM out of state and that’s comforting. I’m in a hotel out of town with no news channel I usually enjoy. Listening to WBHM is a lifeline to news. ### 5/5 — Green Cobra 136 *2024-01-01, version 4.6.6* It’s awesome! ### 5/5 — Green Cobra 136 *2023-12-22* It’s awesome! ### 5/5 — Love this App *2021-02-11* Allows to listen to npr where ever I am! ### 5/5 — NPR on the go! *2020-09-29* Love this app!
