## 88.9 WERS Reviews in United States

### ***** "App has been updated!"
I am a huge WERS fan! And George Knight fan! 
AT LAST the app was updated last year (mid-2025) and now works GREAT. Still a few glitches now and then with current playlist but infinitely better than before. Huzzah! 👍
-- GUP1138, 2026-02-01

### **--- "Great radio station, lame app"
Doesn’t work in landscape mode on iPad, on iPhone in CarPlay, it constantly skips and stutters (probably due to poor buffering algorithms), and on iPad it crashes every time you try to change the default streaming quality. The app was clearly developed on the cheap for multiple platforms, and so doesn’t function smoothly on any of the Apple platforms. Disappointing given what awesome music WERS plays.
-- KingB2, 2025-10-27

### *---- "Stuck on privacy policy screen"
There is no button to accept the privacy policy. No way to proceed and use the app.
-- JayPeak99, 2025-03-01

### **--- "Great music, lousy interface."
It’s been years since the app was updated. Needs to be optimized for newer mobile systems. Buttons too small. Text appears out of place. 

Love the music but the app looks like it was created by someone in an introductory coding class.
-- Fd up with Ads., 2024-10-24

### ***** "Love it but would love it more if it could be rotated on the ipad"
WERS is one of my two favorite stations. I have used the app every day for years and I love it. I just wish it could be rotated on the ipad.
-- AnnieT567, 2024-06-04

### ***** "terrific music variety, easy to use app"
I've been a listener for about 8 years, first on the car radio when commuting.  I now stream at wers.org (I live just outside the radio signal's coverage) and listen on the app.

The music variety is awesome.  There's very little repetition, and WERS is a great place to discover new music.  They also play a good number of iconic songs.

The professional staff is very good.  And the student staff is amazing.  Their music knowledge is broad.

The app provides good quality and is definitely worth downloading.
-- trusted advice, intuitive app, 2024-04-27

### ***** "Great App!"
I love WERS and the app enhances my listening.
-- UniversalOrthodox, 2024-02-16

### ****- "Good app, needs a couple tweaks"
I found the app based upon 617 day.  The app works fine, but I find the menu and arrow on the bottom take a few times to actual click on.  They just seem slightly small, and I don’t have giant fingers.  Otherwise it works good.
-- DNels0764, 2023-06-16

### *---- "Great station, awful app"
Love WERS but the app stinks. The PLAY arrow is 3mm long and on edge of the screen so super hard to open. Opens about 25% of my attempts. I’ve asked the station and just wrote the developers.  I’m frustrated and hope it can be improved.
