### 5/5 — Love my news station!

*2018-10-09*

Love listening so much that I needed to stay connected after getting out of my car! This does the job.

### 5/5 — What a gift

*2018-07-15*

Thank you! Now I can see and hear every single thing. <3

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2018-05-05*

It’s so great to have you at my fingertips.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-03-31*

Glad to see a WFYI app. I use it all the time to listen to WFYI radio.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-03-16, version 4.4.9*

For the past week this app has crashed every time I go to use it.

### 1/5 — Constantly crashing

*2018-12-22*

This app is buggy and constantly crashes. I’ve used it for half a year now and the problems have been consistent. Really frustrating.

### 1/5 — What’s it for?

*2018-10-17, version 3.9.14*

Anything I click on seems to send me to Safari for streaming. Not sure why I would need this.

### 2/5 — Buy a radio

*2020-08-13*

This app crashes, rewinds randomly and gets stuck repeating ads. 

I have used the app for years and it is currently the least stable it has ever been. 

Check back in a few months folks, you’ll just be disappointed today.

### 2/5 — I wanted a wfyi app, not another PRI/NPR/PBS app.

*2018-09-08*

I’m happy there is more wfyi in the innernets but this is missing all local radio shows. A IWIR that i don’t have to crank the volume on, a cultural manifesto I can skip around in, *a local nescast*... why are they missing from the thing a fan of the station would download it for?

### 3/5 — Would love an ad-free option

*2020-04-28*

I’d be willing to pay for an ad-free version. At the very least, please cut down on ad interruptions. It’s maddening to be listening to a piece, only to lose a big chunk of it to an I just heard 9 minutes prior.

### 3/5 — Ads play in middle of interesting stories

*2019-12-28*

The app works better than it used to. But a few times an hour a sponsorship ad interrupts the broadcast and usually right in the middle of a really good story. Can these be timed to coincide with the usual sponsor shoutouts?

### 3/5 — Great app when I’m at home

*2019-08-30*

I love this app and the ability to access passport which gives me options to view so many PBS programs. What is disheartening is that I cannot get it to work when I’m not in my home. I can’t view Any programming when I’m at the gym for example

### 3/5 — Why interruptions?

*2018-08-02*

The app works well, but I don’t appreciate interrupting the news to run ads. NPR and other programs allow time for that. We have moved from North Carolina where we had WUNC and I listened daily to their app. They never interrupted the program but worked it in during the breaks. Please adjust that!

### 4/5 — Yay! Finally an app!

*2018-12-26*

I had become used to listening to KJZZ’s app when I was living in Phoenix and was disappointed that WFYI didn’t have one. Then, there it was😃 Love it!

I took away a star since my original rating. As someone else has mentioned, the support ads keep repeating, sometimes every minute or so...very annoying. This was not an issue with the KJZZ app.

### 5/5 — WFYI App

*2024-06-17*

I had stopped listening for a long time as my workplace blocked streaming online.  Now I can listen to all my favorite weekly shows again!

### 5/5 — Easily one of my most used apps.

*2023-07-31*

I love how I can Bluetooth this at home and not miss a beat. Easy to stay connected with what’s happening in the world. Five stars.

### 5/5 — Love my 90.1 radio

*2022-09-06*

I primarily use this app to listen to 90.1 FM and it is really good. I used to carry an FM radio with me all the time and with this app I got rid of the radio.

### 5/5 — News you can trust

Works well and reliably

*2020-05-12*

The single best way to stay informed.  Recommend!

*2020-05-02, version 4.4.45*

There is nothing on tv that I love more then a British Masterpiece!

### 5/5 — Like it!!!!

Good job
