Selected a show, copped the loading sign and… nothing. Internet on phone working fine, all other online apps functioning without issue. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Pointless on-demand *2020-05-30, version 3.2* I love this station. The kind of music it plays is almost perfect for my tastes. However the app is very disappointing. It’s fine for playing the live stream, but on-demand shows don’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Inconsistent. *2019-04-23* Disappointing. Taking forever to load & on demand feature is not working. Not consistent meaning one day it worked, next day not at all. No benefit from using the app. Never got to listen to my favorite DJs. ### 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. ### 2/5 — On demand shows please *2018-04-01, version 1.0.4* Nice idea but not much use without on demand does and offline storage... ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Solid option to discover new music *2021-04-01* I find myself opening this app more than Spotify! Really enjoying it ### 5/5 — Incredible new music WORLDWIDE *2020-04-29, version 3.2* How did I NOT know about this before?! Great DJs, amazing variety, simple app. With this and BandCamp, all my music interests are covered. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Love WWFM *2019-02-22* Wish: live track list or Shazam integration - I am often looking for another device to launch Shazam (trackid?) ### 5/5 — Best Radio station *2017-11-28, version 1.0.4* Brilliantly curated, interesting music, D.J's and interviews and it's ADD FREE. Love this station ### 5/5 — Worldwide FM on the go *2017-08-01, version 1.0.4* This app is a super simple and elegant way to listen to Worldwide FM on the go. That's it. ### 5/5 — No bells & whistles... *2017-03-30, version 1.0* ... just food for your soul. Open. Press play. Soak it in. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-03-29, version 1.0* Beautifully minimalistic, could benefit from a live tracklist but nothing more. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-03-28, version 1.0* App is easy to use and the station is great. Better than natural wine ### 5/5 — 💯 *2017-03-28, version 1.0* ...💯 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
