Great but flaky
I listen to the app every day but sometimes it just won’t work at all. They always respond when I report issues.
Takes too Long To Load Broadcast
It often takes 20 seconds to load the broadcast after pushing play.
Increasingly Problematic
I love WFSU and am a longtime continuing supporter. But the app is very frustrating. At least once or twice a month I have to use NHPR or WBUR to get news because this app stops working. Then, I have to delete the app and re-download. WFSU, please fix this.
Best & worst app
Great content, highest of quality. Often delivered with a touch of humor. Have been listening for over 30 years. Highly addictive.
However VERY glitchy. After he periodic updates (which seem to just be updating fund raising campaigns) I can’t get it to play. It just spins and buffers. I usually have to delete & reload & reboot my phone. Most of the time I have to repeat this process multiple times to regain access. It also cuts off often. Tech support almost impossible to contact.
Would rate it 5+ stars, except for the periodic and very frustrating tech issues.

Best news app, hands down
Love listening every morning, keeps me updated no matter where I happen to be. Excellent journalism!
I can’t depend on being able to access the app it keeps stopping
d on being able to access the app it keeps stopping. I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on and that doesn’t work then I delete the app and I reinstall the app and sometimes it doesn’t work. I’m not really happy with this app.
My fave app
I use the WFSU app constantly. Use it while walking our dog several miles a day and also while doing mind-numbing yard work. I respect the people doing local news coverage to keep us informed. Between our local coverage and NPR’s national coverage, We’re so fortunate to benefit from both.
Works flawlessly
Great for continuing one of those unexpectedly interesting public radio stories when you get out of the car.
Car to home happiness
I most often use the app to continue listening when a particular piece of music captures my attention in the car, but my travel is finished. It works flawlessly. Thanks for producing and supporting this app.
Take WFSU with you
Love this app that lets me listen all day!
Is it the App or the Production that I abhor?
I love NPR but I have gotten so aggravated so many times trying to listen to it on WFSU that I finally deleted the app from my iPhone. Most annoying is the relentless nagging to donate money or to sign up for e-mails. In progress news reports being interrupted by the nagging messages...every time a broadcast was paused for a moment and restarted the nagging would replay. News reports would be superimposed or one would interrupt another. Horrible production of such valuable information.

Absolutely love NPR app!
I love being able to listen to the amazing shows on NPR on demand. I listen all day while I’m working from home.
Great!
I love this app! I listen to it every morning 🙂
Constantly glitching
I love the content of the app, and love how it breaks out the show, but do not love how it always cuts out on its own, sometimes for an entire news bit. It happens every single time I use the app.
Best app ever
I always use this app when traveling. It’s a dream. Thanks!
Love WFSU, Hate this app
Wonderful programs but app is constantly buffering, resetting, stopping and starting. Even with strong signal. Rebooting the phone doesn’t help. However, it’s not so bad when listening On Demand instead of live.
Good u/I for programs
The app makes it easy to select a recorded program. The text for each icon is most helpful.
I love the WFSU app
We keep our radio turned to WFSU constantly at home in Tallahassee; our dog listens to it all day (and we often joke she must be the smartest dog there is). But I especially love the app because it has allowed me to keep up with the National, international, and local Tallahassee news when I am living abroad. I kept up to date while I was living in Tanzania, and now I listen to WFSU every morning in my house in Brazil. Keep up the great work WFSU team!

Love this app!
Easy to use, makes it easy to take WFSU with you when you don’t have a radio or are traveling. I also like to use the sleep function so I can fall asleep listening to great music and it will turn itself off.
Good but not enough content
So few stories are posted on this app. I don't understand why they don't post all the stories?
