I have come to rely on it but it let’s me down sometimes. It’ll be playing the NPR feed just fine then just stop and I can’t get the feed back. All other links etc. seem to still work but the main function I use the app for fails. Not frequently but often enough to aggravate. The other nitpick is that I sometimes can’t listen to “All Things Considered” during the broadcast and will not be able to find the most recent addition in the “On Demand” menu. Usually I can but again aggravating from time to time. Woe is me. ### 4/5 — Great music, but could use some improvements *2021-06-22* Hi I love listening to the station! I think they have the best classical music even better than WETA in DC. Is there a way to go back in time to see what music was played? I feel like there is too much news on this station. It should be more classical music. If people want the news, they can go to the new station. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-12-16* We live in UT and love to listen to this channel when we drive through WY. So glad we can listen at home now! ### 5/5 — Go-to app! *2020-07-30* This is my go-to app while at work. Gives me everything I need throughout the day to keep me informed and entertained! ### 5/5 — Best *2020-06-02, version 4.4.24* This is the best thing on my phone! ### 5/5 — Wyoming public radio is a great app *2020-05-16* Head no H more accessible made a little design could be with this app serious problem I have ### 5/5 — The playlists are great *2020-04-27, version 4.4.24* This is hands down the best jazz app. ### 4/5 — Nebraska *2020-02-20* Because I am about 20 miles outside of their broadcast area, I use it to stream daily. Except when it doesn’t work. The play/pause button flakes out about once a week. Other reviews mention this, can you get it fixed? Otherwise, I enjoy the content and the layout it easy to navigate. ### 4/5 — Most Utilized/Not Too Stable App *2020-02-09* I travel three weeks a month and the WPR app gets 1 to 2 hours of use each day, keeping me connected to what’s going on “back home.” When it works, that is. It doesn’t seem to be very stable on iPhone X. Once a week, typically, it just won’t work seemingly getting stuck. Hopefully the developers get the app refined and another version issued. Otherwise, I love it. Pleasing and useful layout. I like being able to toggle between “channels.” ### 4/5 — Love WPR App! *2019-12-24, version 4.4.24* Such a great resource particularly when traveling out of state. 4 stars because it doesn’t always work. But when it does it’s awesome! ### 4/5 — Good app but needs to be updated for XR *2019-07-31* I’ve used and enjoyed the WPR app for a long time and across a lot of devices. Wherever I am it keeps me up to date on Wyoming news and music (& NPR) wherever I am. Wyoming Public Radio is our state’s most ubiquitous station and its staff is full of amazing journalists and radio personalities. It’s podcasts are some of the best anywhere. Thanks WPR for keeping me informed and connected. Will be 5 stars once the app is updated to better support iPhone XR ### 5/5 — Top app *2019-06-02* One my favorite jazz station apps: wish I could listen to it all the time: continues to deliver consistently. Thanks! ### 5/5 — It rules *2019-05-03, version 3.9.20* Love this app! Radio coverage isn't always great in Central Wyo so it's nice to have this option! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Welcome to the dark ages *2024-05-23, version 4.6.14* App crashes every time I open it. Why don’t you hillbillies get your act together? ### 1/5 — Worse NPR player I have experienced *2022-09-09* Slow, unneeded graphics making it slow to load. Lag time between ‘play’ and sound is several seconds. Worse NPR player I have experienced ### 1/5 — App doesn’t stream *2020-02-16, version 4.4.24* Is the app designed to stream? I press the arrow icon(presumably the play icon) and nothing streams. Is the site down/inop? ### 2/5 — Great content but.. *2020-07-24, version 4.4.24* The app just randomly stops playing. ### 3/5 — Freezes up *2022-06-15* When it works it’s fine. But about once a week it freezes up and I have to delete it and download it again. I’m on an iPhone 11. ### 3/5 — Inconsistent Results *2020-11-05, version 4.4.24* The Wyo KUWR NPR app is virtually the same app as the Colorado KUNC app, yet it's performance is considerably poorer. The app will start in the morning as an alarm and it times out and quits 15 min later. I don't have this problem with the KUNC Colorado app. Strange. ### 3/5 — Great content/app now worse *2020-03-24* Though I’m only 9 miles over the border into MT, I can’t pick up WPR’s signal, so I stream it on my iPhone & iPad. The app is glitchy when trying to get it to play, as many other Apple product users have commented about. The app seems to be getting worse & will play only about 50% of the time. I’ve deleted & reinstalled it with no success. When I can get it to play, there’s an abundance of content to stream or play on demand. Wyoming Public Radio is hands down my favorite NPR station & one I proudly support. I just wish the app was reliable. Please, don’t make me listen to Yellowstone Public Radio! ### 3/5 — My radio station *2017-10-20* I am a proud member of WPR and use this app more than any other on my iPhone. I only give it three stars because the run/pause button does not work in the Control Center widget! Somebody at WPR get a iPhone and see what I’m talking about! Should be an easy fix, and when it is you get a five star upgrade :) ### 3/5 — Just crashed on my iPad! *2017-08-13, version 3.7.38* It would be so good if you had a full schedule button. It is really hidden. Also, still hoping for a sleep timer. Oops, just crashed again. Grace Barca ### 3/5 — Good app when it works. *2016-04-06, version 3.7.21* I like the news tiles for local news and alike but consistent streaming is a problem and the app crashes periodically. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — All of your music…. *2025-01-27, version 4.6.14* I like Wyoming Sounds very much! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-01-06* Love Jazz Wyoming! Mostly jazz from NPR with news on the hour and some interesting local news! Solid feed. Recorded programs that sometimes repeat on same day but no commercials or talk! Thanks University of Wyoming! ### 5/5 — Awesome app. *2024-11-11, version 4.6.14* Love the WPR app. Cruising with music throughout my work day is great with news updates. ### 5/5 — Love WPM *2024-07-28* App works great for getting up to date local and statewide news! ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-05, version 4.6.14* The best music anywhere anytime! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-05-02* I had been having problems with connecting to WPM on Safari. When I saw that this app is available, I gave it a try. Works every time. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Getting my WY Fix *2022-09-08* I am a WPM sustaining member but moved to the east coast last year. I get my WY fix thru this app, and find it offers more than the local stations’ apps. I also enjoy the time shift that allows flexibility in my listening. Great station and great app! ### 5/5 — Cool *2021-12-05, version 4.5.26* Total modern primo ### 5/5 — Love the app *2021-08-24, version 4.5.19* I am an NPR addict visiting in WyomingAnd I love being able to get local NPR. ### 5/5 — A way I can get reliable news in the morning *2021-05-03* As a millennial, I don’t utilize cable tv or even own a radio for the house- this app allows me to get more news from a reliable news source that I grew up listening to! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
