Streaming technology has progressed to the point an”app” should function without dropouts. It is time to update beyond 1999 performance. This is an old “app” that is buggy and has issues with dropping out. ### 3/5 — Outdated App *2025-09-14* This is an old app that is buggy. Has issues with dropping out. ### 2/5 — ate battery *2025-05-30, version 8.5* Got this app yesterday. Worked fine. listened for a while and stopped it. A few hours later my phone got a low power alert. Battery said it was the wfmt app. Have to kill it when you stop listening. ### 2/5 — Great station, poor app *2024-11-22, version 8.4* I love the station, but this app is substandard. Streaming is so incredibly touchy that any interruption, however momentary (phone call, turning off audio output device, alarm, etc.) causes a stoppage, which necessitates a relaunch. This makes the app’s on-demand feature basically worthless. ### 1/5 — Stops for no reason and drains battery *2024-09-24, version 8.4* Terrible glitches please fix ### 2/5 — The app compresses musics heavily and no joy to listen. *2022-08-19, version 7.9* The WFMT website streaming has much higher quality. If you enjoy classic music, please DON’T use this app, DO streaming from WFMT website. The app heavily compresses musics - sounding flat and losing sound stage. ### 3/5 — High battery usage since iOs 15.4 update *2022-05-02* The app is taking a lot of battery juice since iOs 15.4 update and would need to be corrected. ### 3/5 — Out of sync or…? *2022-01-06, version 7.8* The title displayed of the music playing doesn’t match the music. I’ll delete and reload. ### 3/5 — Ads *2021-04-12, version 7.7* Far too many ads, gets to a ridiculous point and after a while is simply worth listening to Spotify. ### 4/5 — Chicago’s Best Classical* music *2020-10-25, version 7.6* Can’t live without this station. The depth and variety keep you listening. The iPad Pro app virtual volume slider no longer works in the app; it works only from the iPad unlock screen or manual controls. Please fix that. ## Frequently asked questions about WFMT ### What is this app? This application allows you to listen to WFMT, a highly regarded classical music radio station, from any location.
