lately i’ve been looking at cracks in the sidewalk, feeling stuck in them. i’ve just turned 20, and i still have several years before i can begin to understand things around me; Chuck leaven’s makes things, even if there strange, simpler by playing me some nice music for the week. thanks chuck.

Have listened to and supported WFAE/WFHE for over 20 years, since I moved to NC. Programming is great, but this app still has significant issues especially every time they "upgrade." I no longer use this station as my alarm because it is so undependable and find myself listening to other stations more and more. The app continually drops (on an iPhone X) and is frustrating to no end. Locks up and have to completely exit and start again. I don't have these issues with other stations / apps. WFAE needs to get their act together as more and more listeners use an app for access. Show more

I listen to WFAE a lot and enjoyed the app greatly until the latest update. I can no longer pause, rewind or fast forward from the lock screen—I have to open the app to do those things. I deleted and reinstalled the app but it didn’t help. I’m disappointed and hope they correct the issue. Show more

I’m an NPR fan, so this app is a great way for me to listen to my local station. I like that when my phone is locked, there is a way to pause on the Lock Screen. Quality local news, though if you’re in the SC suburbs of Charlotte, they don’t often cover SC news. There is a station out of Columbia, SC, but it’s hard to get a signal when using a “regular” radio if you are really close to CLT. So I’ve just gotten used to WFAE and like it- the 9am and 7pm slots are interviews with locals, and it’s not just about local news, it’s with a general who’s visiting to speak at a foreign affairs conference and asking him about Ukraine, it’s with teachers talking about change that needs to happen in education, and electric cars. So interviews that would interest people even if they aren’t in the area Show more

I would love it if WFAE would find a way to NOT auto play ads and the radio when opening the app, even when my phone is set to silent. This annoying glitch alone keeps me from opening the app to get the great local news that WFAE reports. Show more

WFAE delivers an excellent service, app works seamlessly

Many times this app buffers continuously, or loops over the same audio several times before stopping to buffer. Disappointing as I love this NPR station

I love the jazz option included with the great npr offerings.

Always my information source of items I want be aware of. They report on a spectrum of news and give me facts I can research on other sources.

It’s the only app I use that just spins, cuts out, stops and starts, plays 15 seconds then repeats that same 15 seconds over again, and is just generally unreliable. Please fix this, listening to this in the morning while working from home is how I keep up with what’s happening in our world! Thank you! Show more

I like the app. I like that the app doesn’t have to be open to listen to the radio, and it’s relatively simple to try and find articles after the fact. Show more

Great but you can attract the whole nation if you try to cover all wings

It would be nice if the live radio doesn’t start automatically when we open the app. Sometimes we just want to read the headlines and not necessarily listen to the live stream. Show more

I really relied on this app for news and info. But is often not working I am deleting and reinstalling often. But that doesn’t always work.

Love this app! The reception is perfect and so much better than my radio. thanks!

Five stars

I don’t know what y’all did but your app no longer plays live stream and it’s not available anymore. It just opens to a PRX story.

The full page ad that takes up the entire screen every time the app reopens is frustrating and sours part of the user experience. I understand the importance of underwriting for public radio and I don’t have issues with reasonable ad placement. However, this current ad becomes an annoyance when it forces the user experience every time the app is started and often when the app is reloaded because something else interrupted the app in the background. Keep the ad but please don’t hold the app hostage until it’s done. Show more

Does exactly what it is supposed to and not one annoying function more.
