### 2/5 — Please update this app

*2023-05-02, version 3.2.4*

Your listeners are loyal and love FUV but the app is becoming incompatible with even older iOS. 3 years is  very long time to go without bug fixes at least

### 2/5 — AirPlay Problem

*2020-06-09, version 3.2.4*

A new problem which started about a week ago. Airplay’s not working with my LGC9, and it had before. Also not consistent with my Apple TV. Only works with Mirroring. Other apps are fine, so it’s not the LG. 

Time to fix!

### 1/5 — Non functioning

*2020-04-27, version 3.2.4*

Love the station and live streaming still works from the website, but the app simply doesn’t work anymore. 

WFUV please fix the app! It was wonderful when it worked.

### 5/5 — Listen to Whole Wide World on demand!

*2019-10-27, version 3.2.4*

I’m stoked that I can listen to the Whole Wide World on demand! It’s my favorite show on WFUV, and i always forget about it until midway through on Friday night. I know i can listen on the website, but i like being able to listen on my phone / iPad too.

Thanks, WFUV, and thank you Rita Houston!

### 2/5 — wfuv

*2017-03-02, version 3.1.0*

I loved this app and now it will not open. It's starts to play music than it crashes. I do listen to this station every day. But I am forced to through a different app.

### 5/5 — Upgraded to iOS 10

*2016-09-19, version 3.1.0*

After the upgrade to iOS 10 the app is working just fine.

### 1/5 — Crashes upon start still.

*2016-07-11, version 3.1.0*

Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Dead app?

*2016-04-03, version 2.0*

This app had worked wonderfully on my iPhone but I decided to stick to the NPR app since space is limited on my iPhone. Time passed as I've been gifted an iPad, so I tried out the NPR app and it's HORRIBLE on the iPad. The iPhone version is better, but it's still not that functional. So I've tried to come back and use the official WFUV app and it seems to be dead. I click it, the load screen opens and the. It disappears. Double tap on the home button, find the app running in the background, pull it up to the front and still nothing. The last time I tried the website streaming didn't work on my tablet. It seems like the tech end of WFUV is nit up to par. That could be lack of funding or people not paying attention.

### 1/5 — App does not open

*2016-04-02, version 2.0*

Major malfunction

### 1/5 — Total waste...

*2016-03-27, version 2.0*

This version of the App won't open. When you try to open it just shuts itself off. 
Very poor development work.
