Helps you find out what’s on in your part of Switzerland - we’ve been to lots of event and places that we only heard about through WRS. We’ll worth a listen ### 2/5 — Stops playing *2014-01-13* It is difficult to use this app since it stops broadcasting at least every ten minutes. I thought it might be my wifi but I do not have this problem with iTunes Radio. ### 1/5 — WRS *2013-10-17* Tried several times to load to my iPad but no success. Needs a serious tune up or rebuild. Don't bother. And the old WRS App loaded and worked so well... ### 4/5 — Great but crashes *2012-10-29, version 3.0.3* I love the station, it's a great escape from all these French radio stations, but it crashes all the time. I'm not sure if it's just my iPad, because there is another app that it does that on, but all the others work fine. Also, the radio often takes a while to load when I go into the app, or I have to go back to home screen then the app again. Other than that, I love frontier, and it's good to have Mark Butcher back after he left WRS ### 5/5 — ish ya boi *2011-11-09* Dude, I was on Radio Frontier once. Cool story bro. ### 5/5 — Cracking App that cuts to the chase! *2011-07-16, version 3.0.3* This is an excellent radio-station app. On start-up it goes immediately to playing the station, which is exactly what you'd hope. Clear icons lead to other screens that give quick links to call-in, e-mail, tweet and fb, news and events and so on (all in English). Cleverest is the 'Playlist' that gives an iTunes-style list of what's just been played along with a handy 'Buy' button (neat tie in - I hope they're getting a kick-back). Even the best interface isn't much use however, if the station behind it is useless. Happily, this ain't the case. Mark Butcher is an excellent DJ. His wry take on life and precise delivery combine with a playlist that is right on the money for this listener. As an alternative to the mumbling, air-headed ditherers on WRS, this station is a country mile ahead. ## Frequently asked questions about WRS ### What kind of content does WRS offer?
