### 3/5 — Buggy

*2023-11-15*

I was listening to the Opry tonight (Nov 14,2023) and it kept cutting off after like a minute or two.  Thank goodness I have the iheart radio app on my Roku so I can listen from there.  Even uninstalled this app and reinstalled it.  Please fix the bugs!

### 2/5 — Cuts out constantly

*2023-09-18*

Radio stations cut out and the app has to be force quit to restart.

### 2/5 — Long time listener

*2023-07-25*

And app has always cut out maybe once a night. The past week or two it cuts out about every 5 minutes. Sorry Jeff Hoag, it’s unlistenable.

### 3/5 — Car Play compatibility.

*2022-11-06*

Love WSM and Route 650.  Only wish that I could access the app through Apple CarPlay as I can with other radio stations’ proprietary apps.

### 3/5 — Grand ole opry archives

*2022-09-08*

Why haven’t there been any opry shows posted in archives since November 2021?

### 3/5 — App shuts off

*2020-03-29*

I like the app but it shuts off after a short time of listening after which I have to close the app then restart it

### 2/5 — Wish the App would go back to the way it was!

*2020-02-28*

As of the latest update on this App, I don’t have much use for it at all! I get better results listening to WSM on my old & out dated transistor radio! No more comments, difficult to use now, can’t find what I want & the worst is the new way they are displaying & posting the concerts & events that are at the Ryman & the Grand Ole Opry! It’s difficult to read sideways & difficult to navigate in general! Plus the fact that the great concert/event schedule they use to have, the one you could look up concerts several months in advance is now gone! They only post a week in advance, which is no good for planning ahead to see who you really want to see! Now it’s...if you want to see a concert at the Opry or the Ryman you just have to settle for what’s there at the time you can be there! We’ve missed several concerts that we would have loved to see but the posting being one week away from the concert left us no time to prepare or change our schedule so we could see the shows we really wanted to! 
 While it’s always great to go to Nashville, it’s even better when you can be sure your going to get to see your favorites! 
 This App is just not very well thought out for tourists who only have certain times they can go on vacations or weekend trips!
 Just last week we were trying to find the list of concerts & events at the Ryman & couldn’t find it on the App...there were just 3 listed months away. I finally went to TicketMaster & found one we wanted to see that was not listed on the App! We had no time to change our plans in 6 days! I don’t know about everyone else but we just can’t up & go off to Nashville or any where for a few days with out planning! Like making sure we can suddenly get a few days off work because we want to see a concert! Work places need notice well in advance!
  So if this concert schedule is what they are sticking with, my family & I will have a very difficult time getting off to get there on such short notice to our employers ! 
 This is very disappointing to say the least!

### 3/5 — Needs an off switch!

*2019-10-20*

Other than this, the app is quite nice - great to be able to listen to the Opry broadcast!

### 3/5 — Keeps switching streams.

*2019-08-28*

I LOVE WSM!!
However, lately I can only listen for 8 minutes and 10 seconds before it switches to the other stream. So annoying when listening to the Opry. 

I either have to switch back to the original stream or wait 8 minutes and  10 seconds for it to switch back. 

So strange. I can’t be the only one experiencing this.

### 3/5 — Accessibility issues

*2018-11-30*

Hello. I love listening to WSM,! I am a voiceover user on the iPhone, and I am having difficulties switching between which stations on the app I want to listen to. It would be great if there was a way for blind users to do this, so we can also have the freedom to switch to either the Americana station or Aubrey Nashville radio. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Love the app...

*2018-11-20, version 6.61.0*

... but what’s strange is when it starts to play music randomly even if I don’t have the app open; I’d just be walking home from town and I start to hear music in my pocket. I’d then unlock my phone and view all apps open and there’s nothing there despite it showing on my lock screen that it’s this app.

### 2/5 — Good in theory

*2018-11-04*

There is no off button so I deleted the app.

### 3/5 — Works well but missing some features

*2018-10-14*

Responsive and works well. Needs to show what station you are listening to as well  as song and artist information.

### 3/5 — Phenomenal music, meh app.

*2018-03-17*

I love being able to listen to WSM AND Route 650. However, this app needs the ability to pause and play. Need to also add song and artist info like they provide when you listen online.

### 3/5 — Great station, poor app

*2017-12-16*

Why is there no song/artist information?! That is Eeeesential in a radio app! And why are there no play/stop buttons? We gotta kill the app to turn it off... A great station like this deserves a much better designed app

### 4/5 — Love the music

*2014-05-25*

Current song playing doesn't show any longer.  Please fix.

### 1/5 — Not coming in

*2025-07-29*

It’s not loading/updating

### 1/5 — Won’t Shut Off

*2025-03-14*

Just got this app and really liked it but I can’t seem to figure out how to shut it off. I can pause/mute it but the “dancing decimal bars” on my iPhone screen keep moving. Afraid of running my iPhone battery dead so deleted the app. Maybe I’ll give it a few days and try it again. It seemed to be working okay until I got a message that said I had the latest version and tap to see new features. I tapped on it - didn’t show any features and now won’t shut off.🙁

### 1/5 — 6:50 AM Nashville, Tennessee

*2025-02-11*

You can no longer pick that station up. I know I cannot pick it up here in Rhode Island. Where are used to be able to pick it up not anymore can’t get into it. You just go round one big circle and get frustrated with this whole thing and it supposed to behundred years old supposed to be around the world I don’t see it happening anymore. Is there anything you can do about it?

### 1/5 — What’s wrong with y’all??

*2020-03-26*

This site crashes every few seconds! It’s impossible to listen to a complete song!

### 1/5 — Won't stream

*2017-03-07*

Can't get this app to stream for the past couple of weeks.  Kind of frustrating, love WSM.  Was working fine up until a late night WSM internet outage a couple of weeks ago.

### 1/5 — Won't stream for more than a few seconds

*2016-12-16*

App will not stream for more than a few seconds before it goes silent. I can't revive it short of stopping and restarting; only to repeat. I am running an iPhone 6+.

### 1/5 — Jipzeee

*2012-09-06, version 4.6*

I don't understand how a great radio station like this one can't keep an app up and running. This was such a Great way to experience Nashville and County Music
Same on you WSM

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2012-08-17, version 4.6*

Tried downloading three times to my iPhone 4S. It will not stream live. Don't waste your time.

### 5/5 — New app!

*2025-06-03*

This is so much better than the old app. With the old one, I’d be listening and it would randomly shut off. This version has not done that. I don’t use some of the features, but this is a major upgrade. Thanks to the team behind the changes!

### 5/5 — Longtime fan of WSM

*2023-10-24*

Love the WSM app. As a longtime listener of the station when I used to live within close reception range this has always been my go to country station. Now that I can no longer pick up this station at all on any of my radios at night since moving to Arizona this app has been a good substitute. I also enjoy all the archival material on the app..especially the Eddie Stubbs clips. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2020-10-03, version 7.1.11*

I feel like I’m from Nashville I love it whish I could be there 🪕🎸🎻

### 5/5 — Great music

*2017-04-12, version 5.6.1*

Stubbs!

### 5/5 — Love the grand ole opry

*2014-02-07, version 5.0.0*

I really love this app cause I get to hear Dierks Bentley sing live when he's playing at the Opry! The next best thing to being there! 💓🎶

### 5/5 — Update

*2013-03-08, version 4.6*

Can you make more updates to the app

### 5/5 — Grand Ole Opry

*2013-02-01, version 4.6*

Now, I can listen to my favorite singers and not have to buy tickets. Unless I wanted go see Josh Turner, Keith Urban.

### 5/5 — Opry

*2012-04-29, version 4.6*

I can't quit listnin to it

### 5/5 — Top recommendation

*2012-02-07, version 4.6*

Wsm 650 is the best! Great music and even better personalities!

### 4/5 — May 6 2025

*2025-05-07, version 8.1.1*

I just wanted to say I am enjoying the app.  It would be advantageous to have each song and artist as they play, shown on the app with the opportunity/option to look more into the history of the artist and song.  This is a great strength of country music.  It’s always about the song!  Make the most of it.  Thanks!
