    WCRB app
    Have to reboot phone after playing and stopping the app. Crashes when I try to play a channel later after having stopped a previous listening session. A reboot does not always work either. Good aspirations as an app but not there yet. Show more

    Very frustrating
    Sometimes this app works great and other times well really most times it doesn’t. It just keeps buffering and buffering and buffering and if my phone rings and I get a phone call and I try and go back to it it will not play at all. I think I need to find another classical station if this continues. Show more

    Data Hog/Battery Drain
    This app is a data hog and a significant drain on the battery. Used the app in my SUV; listened to the Bach stream. Used 10gb in five days, battery wouldn’t stay charged. Drained in less than 12 hours. Removed the app and data usage and battery life are back to normal. Show more

    Doesn’t work half the time
    This app is very frustrating. At least 50% of the time it doesn’t list what is currently playing. When I listen to CRB I’m often in my car and am not near WiFi to find out what’s playing I was hoping this app would provide that information. Often it doesn’t. Nor does my car radio show what’s playing. So I guess whoever is at the station has forgotten to input the information. Show more

    Needs an update: landscape and split screen
    The app does what it is supposed to do, namely, stream WCRB. But it doesn’t do it in a very beautiful way. Please update on the iPad so that it can go in landscape mode and support multitasking split screen! Is it difficult to enable that? That’s a genuine question, is it difficult, developers? Show more

    Love CRB Hate The Totally Unreliable App
    The programming of CRB is superb BUT its iOS app is an unmitigated disaster; when and if working, it never plays the CRB main broadcast stream, only defaults to Bach, Early Music or Boston Symphony sub streams. When one attempts to change the stream, this is displayed (and nothing else ends up working): ALERT THERE WAS A PROBLEM DOWNLOADING THE AUDIO For such an important classical, NPR, PBS affiliate, it makes one wonder if anyone is paying attention to details. I’ve reached out to the developer, jācapps, to the WBRC and WGBH’s station’s engineering and management and received absolutely no response. Show more

    Unstable and unreliable
    This app should be a slam dunk, with a simple interface and one simple job to do. Yet, almost every time I use it it takes multiple attempts and forced close outs to be able get the stream to start. The result for me? Deleting the app and playing the stream from TuneIn. It’s a shame so little attention and investment has been paid to an app with such a simple purpose. Show more

    Great way to listen
    I enjoy this app a lot. Great way to enjoy WCRB when not in broadcasting range. My only issue is that it doesn’t switch the display from vertical to landscape view on the iPad. I also wish there were an AppleTV version but that is a request not a complaint. Thank you! Show more
