### 5/5 — Great source of Rochester and world news

*2025-01-12, version 6.2.20*

Good selection of local Rochester programs and national NPR news. All in one place.

### 5/5 — Love this

*2024-07-22, version 6.2.4*

Great to be able to get out of the car and keep listening.

### 1/5 — No music

*2024-05-05, version 4.6.33*

Why didn’t they include their classical music division as part of the app?

### 4/5 — Great station, the app is a little to busy

*2023-12-24, version 4.6.14*

When I tap the app, I just want to know what song is playing, composer, album cover, DJ, that info. The amount of data that is presented is so overwhelming I don’t even know what I am looking at, very confusing. Where I come from we had a simple saying , when at all possible, just K.I.S.S. “Keep It Simple Silly” Other than that, great station,  the variety is always good, keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Great app and station

*2023-10-10, version 4.6.14*

The app has progressed to the point that I haven’t had any issues at all in years. Does everything I need it to, to listen 1370, 91.5, etc as well as get community info. I use the app and website at home, and HD radio when on the move. My membership contributions are more than worth it!

### 5/5 — Simple and works

*2022-12-24, version 4.5.64*

The WXXI app is simple and works well, just what I want in the morning to catch up the news.

### 3/5 — Not so great

*2022-08-29, version 4.5.55*

I so want to like this app, it’s currently the only way I can listen to WXXI news, I stream. I’ve had to delete and reload the app numerous times as it freezes. Annoying, it least I have an avenue to fix it.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2022-02-22, version 4.5.25*

What a wonderful bonus of being a public radio supporter!  Amazing programming and so easy to find it.

### 5/5 — Excellent station

*2021-12-24, version 4.5.25*

I always enjoy this app, whether listening to classical music or news.

### 5/5 — Moved away years ago but still listen!

*2021-09-24, version 3.9.38*

WXXI is a gem!
