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. ### 5/5 — Functional and reliable *2024-10-12* 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… ? ### 4/5 — Informed and entertained. *2024-01-28* 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~ ### 3/5 — Live stream not working *2024-01-25* 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. ### 4/5 — Useful and usable *2023-10-23* 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. ### 4/5 — Alarm clock feature is good, but could be great *2023-02-18* This app works well. The alarm clock feature is very useful from me because the radio signal is weak where I live and so a convention alarm clock radio often only plays static rather than the actual program. I use an old phone connected via Wi-Fi, so it is dedicated to be used only for this purpose. But the alarm has to be set every night. It would be much better if the alarm could be set once and go off every morning. I don’t know if that is an IOS limitation or if the app feature could be modified to accomplish that. ### 2/5 — Love NPR. This app not so much! *2023-02-06* Keeps cutting out every couple of minutes then it reconnects and I have to listen to the ad for Conrad Siegel again. Very frustrating. ### 5/5 — Great improvements *2023-02-01* Thanks for the updates! The app works great. I feel like some of my lag issues have gone away. The layout makes sense to me and I appreciate the added information in the app. ### 1/5 — Inconsistent Performance *2019-12-07* This app abruptly stops the audio and, as another reviewer observed 2 years ago, you have close the app and reopen it or completely delete it and reinstall it to get it to work Please update the app and correct this problem ### 3/5 — Finicky *2019-05-25* This is the most finicky app I have on my phone. Constantly dropping when I move around. The only solution is to close it and reopen only to have it happen again minutes later. Very frustrating. ## Frequently asked questions about WITF ### What content can I watch and listen to on WITF? WITF allows you to watch and listen to live and on-demand TV and radio shows.
