User reviews

On again, off again.

Pauses itself then restarts, or doesn’t restart. At times it will repeat itself like it has gotten out of sync. I mean it will replay an entire segment of live radio that I just finished listening to. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled with no improvement. Not sure what the problem is because the WOSU app is built on the same Public Radio template as WYSO and WVXU, both which perform as one would expect.

Still glitchy

This app really needs an upgrade. It is glitchy and sometimes the only way to get it to play is my delete then down load again.

User friendly, no annoying opening ad, minimal buffering

Very good app. They dropped the annoying ad that was played every time you logged on. Huge.

Worthless

No value added. Inferior to similar apps. I’ll likely delete it.

Good relaxing music!

The app works very well and the music is excellent!
