Buggy
Love WUFT and NPR but this app almost never works with the playback option to listen live. Same as the website :(
Improving I hope
There is hope. The app is finally improving. I still get those annoying vitas health care interruptions but less than previously. The really annoying repeating of the same line over and over has disappeared but I don't listen to the station all the time anymore so I can't be sure it is gone for good. I thought I was the only one complaining so I was actually relieved to see the other reviews mentioning problems. I was so frustrated I even suspended my sustainer support. I live in The Villages so other than this app, the only way I can get WUFT is in my car, so I often listen to WMFE or the new WMFV which gives me a better connection. But I prefer WUFT programming so I'm hoping they can fix the problems.

Constant ad interruption
I am a sustaining member of WUFT. I listen all of the time and have started using this app at least six months ago. The interruption for vitas health care is non stop. Sometimes they interrupt a story or the news three times in one minute. I am going to search out specific NPR programs instead of using this app. Hope you can fix this.

Playback issues while streaming
There has been a glitch for a couple of months now that causes the app to playback about 3-5 seconds and this happens about every 2-4 minutes, sometimes more often. It makes it almost unbearable to listen to anymore. I love NPR and have tried to be patient, but it’s not being resolved so I’ve started getting my news from other sources. Please fix this issue!!

Glad to have it, but...
the app, just like the WUFT-TV station, drops out too often. Naturally it happens when you most want to know what is being said. :/
Spotty app and newscasts; love weather
I am an avid NPR listener beginning in college in the 80s. I have lived and listened in a dozen different cities. This station has the boring and weird local newscasts and inexperienced student newscasters. The transmission suffers from stuttering which misses seconds of contents here. Lately, the app has been dead silent or drops connections. I listen primarily for the weather and 6PM Newshour. I often switch to WMFE.

Pretty good
Still cuts out or stalls for a moment. But it is the same on NPR app so it must be at the station source.
App okay but something very wrong with the stream
I'm happy that an app for WUFT, news and information, is again available. But the playing only lasts about twenty minutes before it breaks up. The same thing happens when I listen with an Echo so its not an app problem. I listen to four NPR stations and WUFT is the only one that does not stream well.

Science. News. BBC. 1A. And on the weekends, Click & Clack, Milkstreet, Wait wait don't tell me. But fav.: Science Fridays! Go Team!!
Much improved
I was an early user of the old app and this one is far better. Easy to navigate between stations, keeping me informed and entertained when I’m traveling.
Easy to Switch...
...between news/npr and classical
Wuft
So much better! I listen when traveling, updated app working well!
Great app, and great station!
I love it
Great redesign, but playback problems
This latest redesign is a vast improvement over the last version, and I like all of the options and UI continuity with the desktop player. However, some strange issues have been happening with buffering and playback. Sometimes the audio will skip ahead by 1/2-2 seconds, or skip back 1-5 seconds and then attempt to "catch up" by skipping ahead a little bit at a time. This doesn't happen too often (anywhere between 2-20 minutes in between), but when it does, it obviously makes it very difficult to follow along with what's being said. Other than that, an excellent improvement!

Great Redesign
Easy to find all the news items I missed hearing and my favorite broadcasts with this improved app.
Love WUFT
This app makes it super easy to listen to my favorite radio station.
Does not work.
I used to use this app frequently. While it wasn't a very pretty app compared to other NPR apps. Local and otherwise. It worked. It no longer works at all. I'm very disappointed
Crashes a lot
Frequently it will just stop playing and have to restart the app to get it playing again. Does this both on wifi and cell data. Also eats up a lot of battery when in use. Not with it to use this app
Does not work
When playing the radio shuts off every couple minutes and unable to change settings. When using any other controls app freezes up.
Does not work
There is absolutely no audio, no sound from any of the devices, iPhone, tablet, iPod, nothing. No news, the app is useless. App developers are obviously unconcerned based upon all of the negative reviews with no action to correct problems.
