Great source of Rochester and world news
Good selection of local Rochester programs and national NPR news. All in one place.
Love this
Great to be able to get out of the car and keep listening.
No music
Why didn’t they include their classical music division as part of the app?
Great station, the app is a little to busy
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!

Great app and station
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!
Simple and works
The WXXI app is simple and works well, just what I want in the morning to catch up the news.
Not so great
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.
Love this app!
What a wonderful bonus of being a public radio supporter! Amazing programming and so easy to find it.
Excellent station
I always enjoy this app, whether listening to classical music or news.
Moved away years ago but still listen!
WXXI is a gem!
Good App, But Not Always Reliable
I enjoy the app for the most part, but it frequently and annoyingly cuts away from programming and buffers a lot. The programming abruptly stops , re-engages and then goes right to several “underwriting” sponsors. This happens every few minutes. The app was last updated 8 months ago and is desperate need of a refresh to accommodate the new iOS releases. I also have super fast internet speed, so it’s not my system with the problem. Fix this problem and I’ll give the app 5 stars.

The station? Yes. The App? Not so much.
My complaint starts at the splash page - my gosh, is it busy! So much info on that page, but little I actually want.
I simply want:
1) To listen live to the classical feed.
2) Know what I’m listening to.
3) Set a sleep timer so the feed stops after XX minutes.
4) Links to syndicated show websites, such as “Exploring Music” or “The Score.”
You could steal a lot of ideas from other station apps...

Thank you
This app lets me listen to WRUR even though I moved more than a hundred miles away. It keeps me connected to Rochester.
Needs work...
I agree with the reviewers above "the app is too busy..." I usually only want to listen to the live broadcasts or catch up (later) with the live programs that I missed. WXXI radio signals here in rural Livingston county are not great, so I like to listen on-line. Often the content takes a l-o-n-g time to load, probably due to our less than robust bandwidth & internet speed. Are public stations lobbying for better internet service in rural areas? That would help!

Lucky to have local classical music
This is the station I listen to the most. The app has great content but it would be nice if play button and play list were more obvious. The home page is too busy with content. Sometimes it drops out, too. It doesn’t matter which device I’m using either.
Bad timing
It’s really hard to find anything on this app and there are false leads, things that look like they should work but then don’t.
Funny that the app popped up with one of those “rate this app” interruptions right as I was trying yet again to get 91.5 to stream through the app.
That aside this app was clearly designed to look pretty without regard to actual use.

Great content, good enough app
I love WXXI in all of ours manifestations. The layout of this app isn’t great, but it’s good enough.
5 Stars
5 Stars for excellent app allowing 24 access to my local classical music station
Love the station and the app!
Clean design and good music. Works well on both my iPhone and iPad. That’s all I ask! Support public radio!
Leaves everything to be desired
Just tried to use the app to share Blacks in Blues with family in Wisconsin... had to go to the web because the app only offered a stream from 91.5. I like classical music to but that wasn’t what I’d promised. Also, so sleep timer last time I looked.
