### 4/5 — Ozillian of the blue ridge

*2025-10-09*

Love it. Would be perfect if it was a car play app.

### 3/5 — Add CarPlay and title info.

*2025-03-22, version 3.2.3*

Great radio station. But the app needs the things we have come to expect from radio station apps - encoded title & artist info and CarPlay (and Android) compatibility. These apps are making a future possible for terrestrial radio.

### 3/5 — Battery usage sometimes high

*2023-08-17*

Overall the app works pretty well and I love WWOZ. But frequently I will notice my battery seems low and the iPhone battery screen shows me that WWOZ has used a ton of my battery even tho I haven’t been using it.

### 3/5 — So close to being great

*2020-01-08*

WWOZ is a great station and I really want to love this app more than I do, but there are two glaring omissions that I think are holding it back. First, it doesn’t display the name of the title, artist and album of the song that’s playing. I really wish it did. Second, it doesn’t support Apple CarPlay. I’d love to have this app appear in CarPlay as it’s own icon, like IHeartRadio does. I did find that if I start this app on the iPhone first, then connect the phone to my car stereo over Bluetooth, I can stream from the app to the stereo, but to have it behave like a real CarPlay app, along with displaying the titles, would make it perfect.

### 4/5 — Great but info missing!

*2018-08-22*

Wonderful music and great station. But where is the info on the track currently being played and the name of the artist. Couldn’t believe it when I saw this was missing; listeners should be told who these fantastic artists are! Yes I know it’s announced eventually but that isn’t the same. Can’t see an excuse because Jazz883’s app is designed by the same outfit and that tells you what’s being played now and what’s been played during the last 40 minutes or so.

Please remedy!

### 3/5 — Great music, but doesn’t play live radio

*2017-12-10*

So the recent update seems to only play their WWOZ-2 channel, not their actual live broadcast, which is disappointing. 
I like that I can listen to their second channel, which is Louisiana Music all the time, but I want to be able to listen to the current programs on the live broadcast, too.

### 2/5 — Please add 128 Kbps stream

*2014-11-22, version 2.2*

I love WWOZ! I wish this app had an option to listen to the higher quality stream. I likely won't use it, since it's locked into monophonic, low quality sound.

### 2/5 — Old

*2013-07-01, version 2.1*

The station is great, but the app is way outdated. Better to stream them from one of the major radio apps, where you have the option of higher bitrate streams and retina graphics. Also, it cuts out.

### 4/5 — Still feelin' Jazzfest Vibe

*2013-05-04*

I attended first weekend of 'Fest this year and everyday we listened to OZ when back at the room. Being able to listen back in OH through my phone and record to mini-disc for enjoyment later is a real treat.  Song titles/artists would be a plus if you could add that.  Thank WWOZ!  Happy Jazzfest!!

### 3/5 — Intrusive Adverts

*2013-03-18*

Two tunes then a few minutes of ads and appeals spoil this otherwise very good app.

### 5/5 — New Orleans!

*2013-03-17, version 2.1*

You want New Orleans? You got it. Thanks for the app WWOZ!

### 2/5 — App does not appear to be stereo

*2013-02-12*

I just tried the WWOZ app on my iPad, and it didn't sound like it was streaming in stereo.  I went straight to the WWOZ site in Safari, clicked on the 128kb stereo stream on the same iPad, and that stream was clearly stereo.  That confirmed it: the app is not playing a stereo stream.

Of course, I'm willing to bet that the quality of stream can be changed without touching the app, so this may not be the case at some other time.  But today on this Fat Tuesday 2013, I'm going to ditch the app in favor of the stream from the WWOZ web site.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I love WWOZ, but I hate this version of the app

*2017-02-26, version 3.1.1*

This app hangs immediately after launch and locks up my iPhone for 20-30 seconds.  Please fix this as soon as you can.

In the meantime, thank you for making WWOZ such an amazing station and cultural resource!

### 1/5 — Ummm. . . No.

*2016-09-01, version 3.1.1*

I'm sorry but I'm not pleased with this new app. I don't care for the new clock/alarm/timer display; I can't dim the screen when I use it. I don't care for the perpetual twitter feed. Wish I could go back to the old app.

### 1/5 — Love 'OZ but not the app

*2015-10-01, version 3.1.1*

I love listening to 'OZ but this is the flakiest, most unreliable version of their app they have ever released.

Please please please fix it !

### 1/5 — Update crashes

*2015-09-05, version 3.0*

I have been streaming WWOZ for years. The most recent update crashes instantly on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Very disappointing. Please please please fix this problem. Running IOS 6.1.6. Still no fix as of 9/5/15.

### 1/5 — It Doesn't Work

*2010-10-16, version 0*

No go on iPhone 4.

### 1/5 — upgrade not working

*2010-07-31, version 0*

not workinf

### 2/5 — Music good. App turns on/off. Has internet links.

*2020-05-02, version 3.2.2*

App made for iPhone. App lets you listen to 3 channels. Everything else is internet links.

### 2/5 — This version won't play wwoz2 any more

*2016-04-22, version 3.1.1*

I knew I shouldn't have upgraded. I was pretty happy with probably old 2.2

Wish I could downgrade.

### 2/5 — Help!! WWOZ!!

*2016-04-06, version 3.1.1*

Please fix the app, I love listening in but every 30 sec it stops streaming audio then starts then stops.. All my other streaming works what's up?? Also if there was something showing what song was playing would be cool. But really just a fixed update would be awesome..

### 2/5 — Only good for a few minutes

*2015-05-04*

I came from Nola and I miss OZ, so when I can I stream it from my laptop. But when I must I use the app, and it's seriously bad. It streams music for about ten minutes at a time at which point I have to close the app altogether then start it up again. 
I love the music, I need it. Please fix it so I can have a piece of home back. Thank you.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — CarPlay support please!

*2026-03-31*

Love the app, want/need it in my car to keep the groove going!

### 5/5 — I use it everyday

*2022-07-03*

Great sound quality, never crashes. What else can you ask for in order to tune into the greatest radio station (at least) on this planet?  Best way to access the 2-week archive, too! Wish there was some way to save certain shows for longer than 2 week, though!

### 5/5 — The Greatest Station in the Nation

*2022-01-15*

The mighty sound of New Orleans, piping hot into your room. If your spirit moves deep in the groove, this station is for you.

### 5/5 — Daily Medicine + Thanks for continuing to improve!

*2020-01-03*

I use this app all day every say. The live stream. The archive! Music is always healing, perfect. Makes me feel connected to my favorite place on Earth - New Orleans. 

My fave DJs are Baba Geno, David Kunian, Leslie Cooper, Soul Sister, Dj Rootzmaster. 

I hope in time they get the archive accessible in the app. It would also be cool for the shows to have tags for themes the DJs did on an episode (like David Kunian’s Sun Ra shows or Holiday music, etc). 

Bad thing about the app is the stream stops A LOT. I’m always having to open my phone to restart it or close and open the app again. This happens online too. Hope they find the resources to get it fixed! Thanks for your hard work!

### 5/5 — Crashes?

*2019-12-15*

Don’t know if new iOS is the reason but app now crashes immediately after launching even after reinstalling.

### 5/5 — Gives me the best days ever

*2019-02-04*

This app gives me the best music and the best dialogue. Thank you and keep it up.

### 5/5 — Makes me sooooo happy

*2018-01-31*

Its the little things in life.  Since leaving NOLA in the late 80's I've been trying get OZ wherever I am - at work, in the car, in bed, around the house, in the shower, in the yard, on my bike and on the go.  I have pretty well got things covered but now that I have Apple Watch I need for OZ to be available for streaming on iOS devices.  With Apple Remote I am able to get this work at home but not on the go.  If OZ can make this happen, I am set for life.

### 5/5 — I ❤️ WWOZ

*2015-11-14*

I ❤️ WWOZ, A little bit of nola on the commute is always a blessing, Keep up to date with all the WWOZ news and live shows in the app. Thanks... Ps more yes ma'am please

### 5/5 — My favorite radio station

*2014-10-29*

Blues Eclectic, Kitchen Sink, New Orleans Music Show, Mass Distraction & so many more of my favorite radio shows are accessible anywhere I go (granted there's cell service). Love this app!

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2013-06-24, version 2.1*

AWESOME: Really great music all day long w no ads or mindless chatter.
