The WFMT website streaming has much higher quality. If you enjoy classic music, please DON’T use this app, DO streaming from WFMT website. The app heavily compresses musics - sounding flat and losing sound stage. Show more

The title displayed of the music playing doesn’t match the music. I’ll delete and reload.

Far too many ads, gets to a ridiculous point and after a while is simply worth listening to Spotify.

Can’t live without this station. The depth and variety keep you listening. The iPad Pro app virtual volume slider no longer works in the app; it works only from the iPad unlock screen or manual controls. Please fix that. Show more

To the app developers: Please, please please find a way for us to access the entire archive of “Exploring Music with Bill McLaughlin” on this app. I’ve tried to access the archive on the web, and if you pause the web version it reverts right to the beginning again, making it impossible to get through an entire episode without the ability to pause it! The app version works well, and doesn’t have that problem with the pausing/resuming making you start all over at the beginning, but I can only seem to access the last episode aired, not the entirety of the episodes or even, let’s say, more than one episode. Please either fix this issue on the web version, or make the archive of all episodes available on the app. Thank you!! Show more

This app cuts out so often , it is a blot on WFMT. 30 seconds, cuts off. The hell with it!! You obviously don’t want criticism you keep rejecting my , so called “name.” Show more

As seems to have been the case for years, this app is very finicky. Any disturbance in the force, and the app stops playing. It never resumes on its own; human intervention is always required. Unfortunately, the broadcast signal in my area is also often awful, so quite the Hobson’s choice. Show more

I’ve had this app for a while, and I love it! It works great, and I can listen to WFMT wherever I am. I listen to the app when I’m at work, and it’s just a great way to unwind. Show more

Can’t go 20 minutes without the stream freezing and usually requires human intervention to restart it

This ap stops playing every few minutes and need constant reloading. When the bugs were fixed, something was missed or a new bug created. Please fix this so I can enjoy WFMT again - uninterrupted! Show more

Constant crashes

Great station.. only if you’re listening on an FM radio, unfortunately the app is unstable because it crashes roughly every 30 seconds. Similar to streaming on the wfmt site

Very good news: WFMT app now contains in-app access to Folk Stage and Midnight Special “archives.” Generally speaking, that would be the previous week’s Midnight Special, played as a three hour continuous loop, and three or four of the most recent Folk Stage performances “on demand.” I’m returning to this app after having lapsed several years ago. The original app was very limited and only had the main WFMT stream, and not much else. As a result, I switched to Tune In (an excellent choice for nearly all classical and public radio stations) because, among other things, I had access to the “archives” through what Tune In calls “custom URLs.” Finally, there is no more need for another app to listen to the Folk Stage and Midnight Special archives. Finally, a “one stop shop” for everything WFMT. Show more

I love this app. My only complaint is that the live stream cuts out so often that I’ve come to expect it. I really wish this could be fixed in future updates as it’s jarring to go from marvelous music to silence without explanation. Show more

Joining with the others as to the need to re-engineer this app. It inexplicably quits too frequently. Today I tried the WCRB app for Boston. My iPhone 6+ kept the signal down the hall to the floor laundry! That was after WFMT “died” and wouldn’t come back until a phone reboot. Show more

The station is awesome! Carl Grapentine & Candice Agree on one stage? What amazing knowledge, voices and intellects! You are two such different people, and yet you keep the flame alive - music for the mind, body, and spirit delivered to Everyman. It is not just for the salon, but also the construction site. I should know about the latter; it actually happens! :o) All kidding aside, the app is pretty good, but it does require some attention. Just my humble opinion, but I believe these fixes would get consistent 5-star ratings: First, Lately, my livestream title has been stuck on a Violin Concerto by Max Bruch, a lovely piece of music, but it has not told me what has been playing since then. Why would this happen? I will trying deleting and reloading the app, but it is taking a long time... Second, And while on the subject of what has been playing, how about a playlist? You know, what was just on, what’s on now, coming up, etc.? Third, And then how about a recommended deep dive on each selection, starting with concert notes from recent performances around the world. I am sure the CSO or LFS would be happy to lend their notes to the effort (with proper citation of course), and fill in from other organizations, near and far. We have to stick together! Show more

But it only streams for 10-15 minutes tops before discontinuing the stream. Got the app after visiting Chicago last year to hear Mahler 2 at Ravinia. Trying to listen to July 4 programming today, but it's too big a hassle to continually restart the app. My wifi is strong and fast, so that's not the issue. Show more

Often, I'm in my car and have to get out before a piece ends. If it's unfamiliar, I have to remember to go to my computer to look it up at the main WFMT site. Playlists are the only reason I would install this app. Show more

Works well for me. The best radio station.

The app provides no information about what is being performed. It cuts out after a few minutes. Worthless.
