We moved out of the area, and what a pleasant surprise when the WHRO lets us continue to listen to our favorite station.

### 5/5 — Comfort in Pocket

*2019-03-19*

I recently moved from the east to west coast and was missing the sound of home. Luckily the WHRO app lets me enjoy the same wonderful music and charismatic hosts as if I were back home. I’ve had 0 issues with loading or functionality. 5/5!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2019-02-17, version 3.9.29*

I used to listen all the time using my Amazon Echo until it broke, and I was without radio for months. Then I found the app and it is amazing! Live and on demand shows! Excellent!

Great station to get NPR on your phone

### 5/5 — 1920s station

*2018-05-30, version 3.8.40*

Phenomenal

### 5/5 — Works great

*2018-03-08*

I had the old 1920’s radio app, ideas concerned when they combined the stand alone app with their other stations in one app. It works great.

### 5/5 — Love my classical stream

*2018-03-07*

App works perfectly for me.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t get most of the good shows.

*2021-04-24*

This app lets you watch certain shows but not everything WHRO has. You can’t watch any of the Create shows.

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2024-08-22*

Used the app daily for years. Then it just stopped working. I start the broadcast and the listen to the add and then the radio programming never begins. Hope they fix it

### 2/5 — Love NPR! App not so much

*2019-01-14*

Content great problems maybe with an aging iPad but fails to load almost 60% of the time and yes I have this iPad stripped down due to its age and I do reload the app

### 2/5 — Awesome content - not so good app

*2018-10-17, version 3.9.15*

This app is a real battery killer. Shame since I love the content.

### 2/5 — Legacy app was much better

*2016-05-24, version 3.7.27*

The old version was perfect - open and start streaming. This app is just a glorified website with a big "donate" button on top. Where did the HD radio stream go? It takes too much navigation and too many clicks to get to what I want to hear. Make you old app available again, please!

### 3/5 — Good App

*2020-05-08*

This app usually closes once or more times a day and I have to open it again. Otherwise it works pretty well.

### 3/5 — UPDATE almost perfect!

*2016-10-26, version 3.7.41*

I use this app most of my work days while doing data entry and  while most of the time it works well, I notice it has some sort of scrambling issue (if that's the correct term). I'll be listening to it live and all of the sudden it will jump to some other point in the broadcast. I have never noticed this on the station in my car so i'm assuming it's the app, but it happens several times a day and it's especially frustrating when i'm listening to something real good. I try to rewind the program but when I get back to the point it skips exactly as it did the first time. I hope this gets fixed....

### 3/5 — Unstable love

*2016-08-01, version 3.7.37*

Am so excited to have this app available--WHRV programming on my phone! But the app can be frustrating because there are hours (sometimes more than a day) that the app just won't work. Solution unknown, so I just enjoy it while it works.

### 4/5 — Every Morning

*2023-03-20*

I love NPR and listen to Morning Edition every day. The app does appear to have bugs, though. It cuts off a lot, which is frustrating, especially when I’m in the middle of listening to a story. Other than that, it’s great.

### 4/5 — Enjoyable programming

*2020-10-20*

I enjoy this app and content. Good job with show information

*2020-07-02, version 4.4.58*

I love it. That’s all there is to it.

### 5/5 — Worth Supporting.

*2020-05-12*

Quality and educational. I love the 1920 Radio Network as it takes me back to the sounds and black and white movies of my childhood. Forgotten memories that need to be preserved!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-01-22*

Easy access from anywhere :)

### 5/5 — Best ever

*2020-01-11*

This is the best ever app because it connects my family and I to the best station ever, 24/7. Quality programming and shows, we receive detailed information about composers and more. I recommend this to every human who can hear. It’s also inspired my family and I to give to to WHRO and discuss giving to such worthy causes that make people’s lives better.
