Good app
Works well, and much more reliable than other apps I’ve used.
Love WBEZ with allMy heart. But I hate the app
The ads when you start it after pausing for more than a few minutes start again and you loose part of the segments. But what’s worse is that when the phone goes dark, so does the app. I thought it was my phone, but the problem only occurs with this app. I deleted it a couple of weeks ago. I’m downloading again hoping the problem has been solved. I’m looking forward to upgrading this review very soon.
Daily Dose
1A is my favorite! I love access to the other shows as well. WBEZ is a thread to my week, even weekends. I also really enjoy the local shows and listen everyday.
CarPlay please?
Can you please get CarPlay working again? Otherwise a great App. I love that it remembers where I am when I have to get out the car mid talk show.
WBEZ App is great!
Using the WBEZ App in my car makes for a way to hear all my favorite shows and get news on demand. No glitches, no extra advertising. Chicago NPR is a gift!
Excellent Chicago NPR App
Excellent Chicago NPR App
JOURNALISTIC
Unbiased for the most part. Factual. Style of narration is sharp. 24/7. Convenient. Free.
Must-have app for Chicagoans & NPR lovers!!!
I love this app! The audio quality is clear and the content is interesting and varied. There truly is something for everyone here—from pop culture vultures to true crime aficionados, from sports fans to book worms, from Chicagoans to people all over the world. In particular, I love Reset for current events and Nerdette for book recommendations!
More granular access to local news would be good
Great app. Only way I listen to WBEZ and NPR. A previous version had the ability to select and queue local news segments, which I miss, because sometimes I just want hyper local stories.
