### 3/5 — Could be amazing but…

*2022-06-13, version 3.2*

Love the content but a very limited feature set.
I mostly listen to this at home over a Naim streamer and/or their Muso speaker; if the Worldwide service was added to their ecosystem I would be in heaven; get it on their list of Internet Radio stations please 🤞.
Or just add chromecast so I don’t have to airplay it via my phone or iPad first before the home & workshop streamers can play it over loudspeakers.

### 5/5 — Amazing world music selections

*2022-05-26*

This app is a blessing. It’s a basic version of worldwide fm’s website, but works like a charm. We put it on every night while we cook and eat. Worldwide is an awesome company with a great mission, and they bring out incredible DJs and artists from around the world.

### 2/5 — Great station - but app not on CarPlay

*2022-05-16, version 3.2*

The app is crying out to be made CarPlay compatible.

### 2/5 — Great content, bad app

*2021-09-10*

Worldwide FM is awesome, but the app is just a preview. Skip it and use the website.

### 4/5 — Chromecast

*2021-07-04, version 3.2*

Please add chromecast support!

### 1/5 — No music 🤷‍♂️

*2021-06-16, version 3.2*

The app wouldn’t load any music, simple. Selected a show, copped the loading sign and… nothing. Internet on phone working fine, all other online apps functioning without issue.

### 5/5 — Solid option to discover new music

*2021-04-01*

I find myself opening this app more than Spotify! Really enjoying it

### 3/5 — Unsure

*2020-07-14, version 3.2*

I love Worldwide FM and Gilles Peterson in general but this app works terribly. When you put it on (and old show or live) and you turn your phone off, it switches the music off. I like Worldwide FM but please fix this bug because I can only listen through the website right now.

### 1/5 — Keeps on pausing

*2020-07-11, version 3.2*

Not sure if this is a paywall issue or a bug, but either way it is very annoying. I lock my phone whole a program is playing, and then 10 seconds later it pauses and I have to open it back up again. Ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Might as well just use MixCloud

*2020-07-08, version 3.2*

I highly regard Worldwide as having the best radio hosts about.
But the on-demand section of the app basically does not work.
