No fluff, it does one thing, plays radio, and does it well!! No cruft or other ridiculous features that distract from its mission & make the app harder to use. ### 5/5 — What would I do?? *2018-03-17* I’ve been a listener for over 30 yrs. I have no idea what I’d do with out ME, ATC and Opera! ### 5/5 — Excellent. No issues. Works as intended. *2018-01-15* No issues to report. Other than the slight delay between the app and what’s broadcasted to car. But the car is ahead, so a few second recap is no big deal. ### 5/5 — WUOT on the go *2017-11-02* There aren’t many times that, when I want to listen to WUOT, I can’t listen on a radio, but it does happen and this app makes it possible for me to listen on the go. ### 5/5 — Now I can access NPR anywhere! *2017-10-27* Love this app! Sometimes I don't have great reception and the app delivers crystal-clear audio. It's also a quick way to access all the NPR programs I love whenever it is most convenient ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-10-09* Works well--nice to switch over when getting out of the car. ### 4/5 — Great *2017-09-30, version 3.8.18* Enjoy this app. Crashes sometimes, “updating stream,” but overall great. ### 4/5 — White rider *2017-09-18, version 3.8.18* Important. Still quits unexpectedly. But wouldn't be without it. ### 5/5 — M. Moore *2017-09-13* How I start my morning in east Tn for current updates on all things Knoxville. ### 5/5 — WUOT *2017-09-12, version 3.8.18* Great and many programs to listen to. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Battery drain! *2017-01-13, version 3.5.8* The app stays active in the background, even when the screen is off and nothing is playing. Lately it has been draining 35% of my battery! ### 2/5 — Current feedback *2020-01-11, version 4.4.8* Unfortunately live stream not working again for WUOT FM, even closing and restarting the app no longer works 😢 At least NPR stream still working ### 3/5 — Little hard to use *2022-04-14* It was a little confusing to use at first but I’m getting used to it. It needs a cast option ### 3/5 — Buggy, but better than commercial radio *2017-10-17* Shuts down fairly often - at least once per use. Still, when you want to hear Fresh Air "live," this is the app you use. ### 3/5 — More stable *2017-09-12* The app is more stable but still freezes every couple of days. Also, a big "Return to Live Stream" needs to be added. Reaching for my iPhone, or sometimes when it's in my pocket, the app switches to one of the pre-recorded stories. That's frustrating enough, but finding your way back to the stream needs to be easier to do at a glance. ### 3/5 — Music details would be nice... *2016-06-14, version 3.5.8* This app used to be good and less complicated. There were actual details about what piece was currently playing, and it didn't take forever to load the streaming music. Now the home page is cluttered with articles and music currently playing has been moved to the bottom of the screen. It takes half a minute to load the currently playing selection, and there are no longer any details showing what the piece actually is. I have wanted to see info about what I'm hearing so I could possibly do a search to download the music or buy it somewhere, but all I see is the name of the program that is currently scheduled. I'm having to rely on the Soundhound app to tell me what's currently playing. For a music-related app, I think this is unacceptable. Give us back the details, please! ### 4/5 — Love the content … a little glitchy *2025-04-07* Grateful for local npr but it’s a little glitchy ### 4/5 — Ok but still glitchy *2021-07-27* I LOVE WUOT and NPR. This app is ok but a bit glitchy. I listen on an IPhone, about three times each morning this app just shuts down. I have to restart the app. It seems to be an issue with spooling. I have tried deleting and reloading the app and still experience this minor problem ### 4/5 — Love this radio station and the app is even better *2019-05-23, version 4.4.8* Great content ### 4/5 — Thoroughly Convenient *2019-03-04* It can be a little slow at times but by far one of the best designed apps and streaming music is reliable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works well *2025-11-19* The WUOT app works well and is easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — Works well *2024-09-30, version 4.6.11* App works well ### 5/5 — All systems go. *2022-09-26* Works fine for me. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-03-09, version 4.5.7* I get to piss off all my fellow construction workers with orchestra through this app. ### 5/5 — Love It *2020-12-20, version 4.4.68* NPR News is always a win!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Solid app *2020-11-19* It does what it’s supposed to do & no issues to speak of. I wish some other applications worked as well as this one. ### 5/5 — WUOT app rating *2020-07-11* Love the app especially links to previous programs whey’s ### 5/5 — Does exactly what you expect *2019-05-08* And is also i great way to listen to NPR ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it should... work. *2018-10-24* I only use this to listen to the news but it always works. Is always reliable. And delivers excellent quality. If only other apps worked as well as this. ### 5/5 — Improvement *2018-09-28* I have had this app for awhile and this is better improved app. Many selections and choices of what you want to listen.
