User reviews

It’s fine

Lots of content, but it definitely emphasizes watching/listening. I get it - watching and listening is what public broadcasting is all about. BUT - interfacing with an app is a visual/reading experience. I would use the app more if the layout and design was more magazine-like so that the reading experience was also enjoyable.

Functional and reliable

I use the app most of the time, except when driving. When I’m traveling, I can always get local news.
Only small issue: on the iPhone it cuts out every few minutes for a few seconds, then picks up again.
Maybe it’s caused by a problem with our WiFi or the phone… ?

Informed and entertained.

The WITF app is one I use daily and often during the day to keep me informed and entertained. I only had one glitch recently and after e-mailing the station regarding it, the glitch was gone. Thank you, NPR and WITF. ~PENNSYLVANIA, THE KEYSTONE OF THE UNION~

Live stream not working

The live stream has not been working at all recently, since the latest iPhone software upgrade. Looks likes it’s loading, twice, but never connects.

Useful and usable

It’s great to have. My only complaint is that when driving, I guess switching cells or something, initiates the sponsorship message which plays over the programming so you miss part of it.
