Whenever WDET is performing a fundraiser, programming on the app is interrupted nearly every minute with a fundraising plug. Often, the fundraising plug will repeat multiple times or multiple plugs will play in succession. It is very annoying and is a disincentive to contribute or use the app. Show more

I have several NPR member station apps on my phone and this is the only one that doesn’t tell me what I’m listening to (show/host info and/or song title and artist info, for example) in real time. If this feature is available, how to utilize it is not immediately apparent. Other than that, it looks good so far. I reserve the right to update this 3-star rating as the app evolves. Show more

There have been some bugs in the past but the developer and the station have been responsive and gotten them fixed. I love that I can take my WDET with me in more places and stream it live. Thank you WDET & fellow supporters! Show more

No more pledge interruptions every five minutes.

If you stream, you get a bombarded by pledge begging every 2 minutes and archive listening doesn't work at all

Can no longer stream this radio station after last update. This is my go-to station. Can this be fixed?

This app stopped working after iOS 10.3 came out. Use the NPR news app instead.

I love waking up to WDET everyday and this app is so great because you can set an alarm to wake you up, just like a morning alarm clock. However, the streaming is not as great. I have this app on my iPhone and iPad and there is a lot of breaking up - like the app has to keep buffering. It makes it so hard to listen to an entire sentence. If this could be fixed, this app works be 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you!! Show more

With the modern radio landscape being what it is, you'd be hard pressed to find a station in Michigan actually producing the same type of local content as WDET. I'm typically plugged into music, podcasts or NPR One but anytime I'm actually listening to live radio, WDET is my only choice. With the app, I never have to worry about missing any of their local interviews. In my mind, they're in a league of their own. Show more

App will reactivate after someone calls you either after you ignore or end the call as if you were just using the app. I noticed this happen multiple times.

This is a great update! Looks much cleaner and it's easy to navigate. Lots of great content for 'DET listeners.

I love WDET and try to listen from my phone (5s) but it's more frustrating than enjoyable. The app is always buffering and losing connection. I've reinstalled it a few times over the past year or so hoping that the app has been improved, but each time I'm disappointed and eventually give up and delete it again. Show more

UPDATE to review below: On Demand completely unavailable on iPhone 4. ORIGINAL REVIEW: The app is pretty unstable (frequent crashing) and it seems to hog system resources leading to other app crashes. When iPhone is in use as a phone, app sometimes continues playing or stops altogether. When listening to On Demand, any stoppage requires going through the menu again and starting selection from the beginning. There is also no way to fast forward On Demand program, but you can rewind. (Is this in the design or a flaw?). If you do nothing else but listen to the app - flawless, but we all know this is far from how smartphones are used. It is a shame that these flaws exist when the programming is so good! Show more

Unfortunately this app is constantly buffering. I can listen uninterrupted for about 30 seconds before it loses connection. This is true for me on 3G, LTE, and wifi

I love the simplicity of the WDET app. There needs to be an update though since it crashes regularly and the user has to select play again once it has crashed. Thanks! Show more

I want this app to work! The streaming function crashes all the time

I can't believe this app been out a few weeks and i'm just now finding out about it! Now i no longer need tune in radio(good riddance). I ❤❤❤ new soul sundays now i can listen to it whenever i feel like it. Show more

Worked great right out of the box! Nice work! Need a Link to the Ann Channel!

Good mix of available options and features. I also like the on-demand music feature; very clever (possible replacement of Pandora? ;) I'd like to see host profiles from WDET offered: names, pics, bios, links to their blogs and then keep it current with updates on them (especially Craig Fahle - because he is "the man"). Next, how about a "Detroit Art" module? a place to see pics from the area, the WDET office, events and maybe a way to submit pics (after they are vetted). Finally there should really be a "news" module specific to the city and then everything else (ie. MI, North Korea, Issues and the like). Again, great start on your app; I'm glad to show it off on my phone. Show more
