Get Dark Mode now! ### 1/5 — Has Ceased To Function *2023-02-20, version 4.5.70* No longer streams. If I remove and reinstall it will sometimes work. ### 1/5 — Doesn't show what's playing... *2016-09-22, version 3.7.36* Nice idea. But it doesn't show the title of the work currently being played. I'll stick with the website. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-02-19, version 2.1.5* Downloaded application for I-phone 4S successfully. However, the application keeps closing while buffering when opened. Cannot get it to work.

Gotta fix it WDAV! ### 4/5 — So Fortunate *2019-10-19, version 4.4.11* WDAV has long been my go to station. From Mike McKay’s soothing voice in the morning to Frank Dominguez in the evening. Even when we had the wonderful opportunity to live on Oahu in Hawaii I listened to WDAV from afar. Buffering can sometimes be problematic but the music far exceeds that inconvenience. Thank you WDAV for being an important part of my day. I will continue to be a member of your community wherever I reside. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Useful *2026-02-17, version 7.3.3* Always great music and new discoveries.
