I’ve been waiting for this app for years. Bravo and WELL DONE 👏 WDCB keeps local broadcasting and jazz alive for Chicago and the world. ### 5/5 — Easy way to listen to jazz *2025-12-24* Whether streaming or looking for archived shows, the app is easy to navigate. Events calendars (separated into jazz and blues, hurrah!) and even a sleep timer are on the app. It’s pretty robust. ### 5/5 — Great station *2025-12-20* Saturdays are my favorite. The programs throughout the day match my interest starting in the morning with the old time jazz programs, the big band, a little bit of those were the days, more big band, and then blues on Saturday night. It’s important to me so I support this station Every year. Give it a try. ### 5/5 — Jazzy gem - excellent app by any measure! *2025-12-03* I’ve only recently begun to appreciate jazz music, and I feel doubly lucky to live in Chicagoland. One day, I turned on an old radio in my garage and it happened to be tuned to 90.9 FM WDCB - I was instantly hooked! After a few days of listening, I realized WDCB is a .org station, which means no annoying commercials - just great music. Then I discovered their mobile app, and now I listen everywhere: at home, in the car, and at my small business. The app is free and easy to use, with a clean layout and great sound quality. I especially love the built-in playlists - they show me the artist and song titles as they play, which is perfect for someone like me who’s still learning bands and albums. No need to use SoundHound or guess what I just heard! Works great on iOS and MacBook. WDCB plays an amazing variety of jazz, blues, roots, and they highlight tons of community events. Great station, great music, great app - keeping jazz alive and well. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Chicago Jazz 90.9 *2025-11-18* Simple app that plays 90.9 WDCB Live, love this station and now also love the app, listen to it most of the day at work 10/10 would recommend if you like Jazz ### 5/5 — Jazzy gem - excellent app by any measure! *2025-11-17* I’ve only recently begun to appreciate jazz music, and I feel doubly lucky to live in Chicagoland.

Love the channel, love the music ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-10-25* I love DCB jazz! I used to have to go to their website to listen because other apps are too full of ads. This is much easier and is ad-free! Thanks! ### 5/5 — Finally! *2025-10-05* Waited years for the WDCB app. Glad it is finally here. Now I can listen to my blues without the shows starting over when I had to leave the website ### 5/5 — at last! *2025-09-21, version 6.3.7* it’s great to have an app for my favorite radio station 🩵❤️🩵 ### 5/5 — I’ve been waiting for this app Forever ❤️ *2025-09-19, version 6.3.7* Thank you 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Great *2025-09-13, version 6.3.7* The app plays load & clear works great ### 5/5 — WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER *2025-09-09, version 6.3.7* It’s close to a scooby dooby upside or top of the down side, a happening place to park your ear sit yourself down and take note! ### 5/5 — Great station, easy to use app! *2025-09-01* Fantastic jazz station. App is great for both livestreams and archived shows. ### 5/5 — Really good app *2025-08-25* I really like this app! Very nice music as well.(personally a fan of their 8 am Latin special) ### 5/5 — So far so good…. *2025-08-20* Great App, so far it has been my go to app upon waking to get my day started! It’s right up there with coffee! :-) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-07-15* Good app, great station! I love the archives too and only wish it could remember what you were listening to after closure/crash. ### 4/5 — In need of update *2026-02-23* I really enjoy this app if I'm listening to current content. However, the archives are quite difficult to navigate with VoiceOver. Even scrolling through the screen, I can't consistently locate every item. Please correct. ### 4/5 — simple and stable *2025-08-26, version 6.3.7* Great app. Takes the fumbling out of streaming jazz. Nice play list, that helps me learn titles. ### 4/5 — Almost… *2025-08-06* I was very pleased to see the WDCB app. It makes finding my fave OTR weekly. “Those Were The Days”. I’d like to see the breakout of days better defined. The way days are done without the app, the old way, was MUCH better. Easier to navigate right to the desired day/date. Otherwise, it’s just fine. Thanks! ### 5/5 — A Friend Indeed! *2026-07-15* No matter where I am when traveling, I have access to WDCB music presentations via my iPhone and the App. Donating is easy. ### 5/5 — App WDCB *2026-07-04* When I downloaded this app I have been a Jazz listener for more 50 years. I figured these young wippersnappers must have figured out jazz and blues and holding the signal better than just playing the radio. I found out there’s more to the app than just tinkering with the knobs. I found the archives to be very interesting. If you were sitting on the fence about choosing music like jazz and blues, this is the place. ### 5/5 — Old time radio *2026-06-06* I love listening to the old Time radio show on Saturdays. But many times I just do not have the reception to listen to the show on my radio. So this app has really made it easy for me. ### 5/5 — WDCB *2026-05-24, version 7.3.0* Thank goodness there’s an App. It is much easier to stream. Thanks…. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2026-04-22, version 7.3.0* A dream come true. DCB jazz anywhere in the world! ### 5/5 — Options *2026-03-26* Wonderful app with lots of options , easy to navigate ! ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reliable and easy to use *2026-03-01* Works perfectly on all my devices. Would be great if it had a dark mode for all those excellent evening shows on the station. ### 5/5 — Wonderful & free *2026-01-27, version 7.3.0* Lovely station and app! Certainly worth supporting! ### 5/5 — DCB in my pocket! *2026-01-24, version 7.3.0* Love having radio, the 2-week archive, and jazz calendar all in easy reach! ### 5/5 — Elliott F *2026-01-15, version 7.3.0* Fantastic app and great station, listen to it daily --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
