### 5/5 — Just what you’re after

*2021-04-13, version 4.5.3*

Excellent selection of music and the app itself runs well and in the background.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-01-11, version 4.5.3*

Nice selection of music, with little chatter. Good signal and sound quality.

### 5/5 — Functional!

*2020-04-24*

I use the app to listen to WNED at my desk at work. And it works perfectly for this!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-03-28*

Found this recently and being a WNYer now living in Las Angeles it’s a great station to listen to.

### 5/5 — Best Classics ever

*2018-12-08, version 3.9.24*

My wife and I listen to WNED via the internet every day. Excellent broadcasting of the finest classical music and no commercials. The hosts are well informed and very pleasant to listen to. No nonsense. We live in Toronto so it’s hard to get the Station other than on the internet. Beats anything we have over here. Yes, we do donate when we can.

### 5/5 — HomeTown Classical Anywhere

*2018-08-08*

Love having Buffalo’s Classical station on the go! Helps me get through the chaos of business travel.

### 4/5 — Pretty good all around.

*2018-08-03*

Choice of music is reliably good. The programming could be a little more varied in period and style. How about some medieval., some 20th c, some Indian, Korean , or South American baroque, for example? The hosts are fine.

### 5/5 — It’s great they have an app.

*2018-04-12*

Love this station.

### 5/5 — Wonderful music

*2017-11-23*

Just another way to enjoy one of my favorite public radio stations. Well done.

### 5/5 — Solid app

*2017-10-14*

Great radio station

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-08-31*

I can listen to my favourite radio station even though I live in a different state now. The app has much improved since I last used it. More features. I love the background option.

### 5/5 — Delightful

*2017-08-17*

No better way to go to sleep than having an ear on your classics

### 5/5 — Works well! Love 94.5!

*2017-05-06*

Very nice to have the Classical with me in my pocket anytime!  Thanks for a great app and thanks to a great station with great music and great Announcers with their friendly and familiar voices!!

### 5/5 — Easy to use - clear sound

*2017-04-01, version 3.8.9*

Excellent app-easy to get to the music, which is most enjoyable to listen to on WNED FM!! Clear sound always!

### 5/5 — Best Classical Station

*2016-12-16, version 3.7.36*

As a big fan of PBS and classical music it's a treat to get a clear signal from this station without needing cable service.

### 5/5 — Great Music

*2016-12-11, version 3.7.36*

A great way to get great music while on the go.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Station is great, app needs Chromecast!

*2023-02-19, version 4.5.63*

The only casting capability in this app is for Apple. Every other streaming service also includes Chromecast as an option.  
This appears to be the case for all PBS apps (like Passport).  Does PBS hate Android users?  Does Apple donate more than Alphabet?  How about it PBS?

### 1/5 — App crashes constantly

*2019-07-25, version 4.4.12*

App does not work at all with iOS 12.4. The opening screen hangs for about 30-49 seconds then disappears. The app does not load. Identical behaviour with iPadOS 13 beta 4.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2016-11-29, version 3.7.36*

Every time I open the app it crashes. I tried reinstalling it, didn't work. (Using an iPhone 5S, iOS 10)

### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2015-12-27, version 3.7.1*

App quits frequently requiring multiple restarts -even if using 50 Mbps Internet connection.

Skip this app

### 2/5 — WNED app review

*2016-12-05*

The app is OK. Crashes frequently on the i phone, works well on the i pad. Crashing is a real pain. Love the ability to see what's on the playlist, but the print font is terrible; VERY hard to read on a phone, and since the app doesn't shift to landscape from portrait, that can't help. Overall, an OK app that with a few improvements could be excellent. Come on WNED, fix it and make it great!

### 2/5 — Nothing like what it should or could be!

*2015-10-18*

The main reason I use the app is to find out what's playing at a particular time--to identify a piece or particular performance. Most of the time the SPO fails to do so adequately. Either no ID shows up at all, or it is so general as to be useless. Never any information about performers, which should be highlighted. And the information about composers and pieces is hopelessly amateurish (eg no musician identifies Mozart Piano Concertos by number; Use the key and Köchel number!)
The station is wonderful and plays mostly fine music (aside from a few too many generic Romantic pieces by Svensen et al, and not enough early and recent music). The app needs serious attention by a first rate programmer with serious musicological training!

### 3/5 — Nice app for a start

*2018-09-27*

Ok app, pretty simple.

### 3/5 — Good start

*2016-09-28*

I like the podcast and tv station episode access. My favorite feature is the ability to see which classical music song is playing on the station in real time.

I wish there was a quicker, easier way to save this information on my phone, rather than transcribe it the old-fashioned way. The ability to create a custom playlist of favorite songs would be even better, though I know it's asking a lot!

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2015-09-09, version 3.6.6*

The app cuts out/shuts off frequently. I like the radio station and want to enjoy it at my convenience. Unfortunately, this app makes seamless listening difficult at times.

### 4/5 — Good app for a good station

*2022-03-02*

The app works well with no issues. The station is good and plays a decent variety of music. I wish they didn’t have to talk between every single piece of music. Couldn’t we put two pieces together with no announcer or commercial?

### 5/5 — WNED App

*2025-03-10*

I truly enjoy listening with this app. The fidelity is excellent. The selections are nicely curated. Keep it up.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2024-04-19*

Thank you for the excellent classical music all day.

### 5/5 — Reliable and straightforward

*2023-05-24, version 4.6.2*

Tried the New Classical FM app before - it was always crashing and needed to be reinstalled.

This one just works reliably, day in and day out.  The music is lovely.  

The only thing that could make it perfect would be news from Canada - but nothing is perfect.  :)

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2023-04-29, version 4.6.2*

Never fails to lift my spirits

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2022-08-22, version 4.5.49*

One would think this is not rocket science but, apparently it is as there are a stunning number of duds out there. This app is , in contrast, clean, simple and it works well.

### 5/5 — All around good!

*2021-11-22*

Hosts are good, music choice is great, and the app works well! I'd love the option to support my local station by paying to remove ads.
