    Great Idea but...
    I longed to have this on my iPod but it doesn't work once I leave my home???

    Easy Listening programming
    WQXR plays way too much awful movie music and Americana with some great classical sprinkled in occasionnally. More "easy listening" than classical. Usually have to turn it off after 20 minutes. Show more

    Good Programming, Poor Audio
    WQXR programming is very strong, with excellent hosts and commentary. Unfortunately, much of the audio is overdriven and distorted - an oversight in the stream's audio signal chain. This isn't something I've experienced with any other classical stream - or any app for that matter. It seems to be a problem unique to the WQXR app. I would love to use the app more. But sometimes, with loud, crunchy dynamics, I just have to switch to MPR or KUSC. Show more

    Does what it needs to do.
    And satisfies my insatiable thirst for opera (though the Operavore playlists could use a little variety at times--I can recognize the triumphal procession from Aida within a note or two, and the bloody Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin should never be played anywhere ever, and that includes at weddings and performances of Lohengrin). The only things to get it up to 5 stars would be chromecast support and the name of the current track on the lock screen rather than the general stream description. Show more

    Poor tablet support
    Is it that hard to support the app going into landscape mode when user is using a tablet and doing all their other apps in landscape?

    Essenttial apps
    Please add the features that KUSC have in their app. Favorites which allow the songs to be pulled through YouTube. Ability to change stream signal to 128kps.

    Like so many martyrs
    Great ideas, not-so-great execution. The "On Demand" section needs the most help: many playlists are in random order and are neither searchable nor sortable; playing audio can't be scrubbed; the "Previously played" list doesn't retain a history; some advertised tracks are absent (the piece I downloaded the app to listen to isn't there); where's Meet the Composer? Etc. There are plenty of good things happening here, especially being able to see lots of detail about what's playing in the stream. (For which Actaeon paid dearly; for us it's happily free.) But, like an Italian model with a broken nose, when your best feature is out of whack...that tends to get all the attention. Alas. I'm very grateful for the app, don't get me wrong—I'd just like to see it live up to its potential. Show more

    Bravo!!!
    Finding this App has been wonderful!! I grew up listening to WQXR daily; there's no other station like it in the world. Seven years ago I moved 1300 miles away and have missed WQXR every single day. Now I've got it at my fingertips again. Bells and whistles - and the occasional glitch - mean nothing. What matters is the music and it's all here. Highly recommend! Show more

    Great station, does it's job, but not good enough for the times
    It needs chromecast support. I would love to be able to walk back home from work and just cast to my speakers. Also: why does it disconnect after a call? Great station, decent app. App needs a little more work Show more

    Please make it for the Ipad so it is not vertical!
    Because it is fabulous on staying connected! I love it. Experienced live sound and recording engineer.

    Great station, app not so much
    WQXR is a great music station however the app needs work. Constantly hanging. If a call comes in on the phone the app hangs. Or for no reason at all. Just stops playing. Very annoying especially in the car Show more

    Thank you
    Easy to use. Live listening to QXR on the go. Will definitely donate thanks to this.
  • Jetsfan1974nj, 02.01.2016
    Simple, Efficient, and useful.
    This app is great! It's not packed full of annoying adds like the other radio apps. It's Easy to use and It works great. Please don't "sell out" and change this platform. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Show more

    Great music, plus Jonathan Schwartz
    I was looking for a source of great classical music, streaming, for free. None of the major radio apps have this, not even in their “specialty” channels. This app has lot of different classical music streams, PLUS a bonus: it has 24/7 streams of past Jonathan Schwartz playlists. The Great American Songbook sung by wonderful artists. So when you’re in the mood for “modern” classical … great background music for dinner, parties, cooking, lolling on the porch … just wonderful. Show more

    Doesn't work
    White screen of death. Doesn't work at all anymore. I liked the update because it gave you more information, but it takes a long time to update, and now the app doesn't work at all. Doesn't even load. Just gives a white screen. Heartbreaking. Used to listen all day at work. Show more

    WQXR rocks
    Oh wait... WQXR is classical... a staple... and one of the great things about NYC, but definitely not rock... I left NYC over 2 decades ago, but will always be a New Yorker. And now I can listen to the old, familiar WQXR anytime, anywhere. It's just so much better than the local classical station. Thank you, internet gods and tech wizards... Show more
