### 4/5 — WPR app

*2026-05-20, version 7.3.2*

Reliable app.  Use it whenever I can’t get radio reception.  Wish it had a feature showing the name/artist of track playing (which can be found on the WPR website). Love to get my WPR anywhere, anytime!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2026-05-16, version 7.3.2*

Wonderful shows thank you.

### 4/5 — Great on phones

*2026-05-11, version 7.3.2*

Would really love to have work on AppleTV

### 5/5 — Support WPR while it’s still legal!

*2026-04-08, version 7.3.2*

Seriously, WPR/NPR might be the last remaining shred of actual journalism left in America, so our support is critical!

### 5/5 — I <3 WPR

*2026-03-01*

I don’t always catch my favorite shows live, so I’m grateful to be able to listen through the app.  I wish the On Demand shows were listed in reverse chronological order (oldest first) so that I could listen to a show in its proper order without having to go back into my app manually—being able to use autoplay. This app gives me access to most of my favorite shows without having to get individual subscriptions.

### 2/5 — Love WPR, hate the app

*2025-12-26*

This app is remarkably glitchy (I’m on a fully updated iPhone 15). It often stops playing the news for no reason (no incoming call, etc) and needs to be restarted. Sometimes in the middle of a story it kicks back to the opening ad, interrupting listening. Sometimes it just goes quiet for a few seconds for no reason. It’s odd how persistent the issues are. Usually a hard restart gets things back on track but to do so daily is annoying.

### 5/5 — Love this App

*2025-07-20*

The App allows me to listen to any program when I have the time. I often listen to WPR while driving my car. If the program is still going when I reach home, I will turn on the App on my phone and go to the same live broadcast so I can continue listening to it on my phone at home.

### 5/5 — Classical Madison

*2025-05-09, version 6.2.3*

I love this Wisconsin App the music is educational.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-04-26, version 6.2.3*

The App is great, thank you!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-01-24, version 6.2.3*

So easy to listen to classical music whenever I want or read the latest news stories.
