WHYY Listen Reviews

Needs work

calamitysammyjo on

United States

I wanted to love this app. Most of the articles open automatically in browser after trying to open in app, which annoys me. App also constantly shows there’s a notification even tho there isn’t. I hate that constant “1” so much that i may just delete the app altogether. When the articles open in the app they’re well laid out and visually the app is pleasing to me but it’s “meh” in performance.

Help

I have had the app for years and now it’s stuck and looping on yesterday’s program. I deleted and reloaded and same issue. So I guess it’s my phone but what can I do?

Terrible technology

WHYY stinks on

United States

Many many problems of clicking and going off line. I have reported it to the station and they sent there is any problem, today, it kept repeating the same 20 seconds of show. I deleted the app and am now trying to reinstall it. No use reporting it to the station who deny they have any problems.

Why can’t I see what program is playing now?

Smk111 on

United States

I see Take Away starts at 11 am. It’s 11:04 and I’m listening to news. Is there some disconnect between what’s playing now (and please tell me what’s playing now) and the stated play schedule? I’m clearing missing something.

Lots of problems

United States

-Audio issues all the time. - From the FM schedule page, none of the links work to individual program pages work

Glitchy live stream

Harronab on

United States

The app’s live stream seems to reload itself every few minutes. It cuts out and then restarts meaning you end up missing part of the content

Annoying

fstrve77 on

United States

Why does it always say I have a notification?

PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP (122721)

Very glitchy.

I like it, but needs landscape iPad support

MrRibbits on

United States

Can you add iPad support to the app? It won’t rotate to landscape view or support split view etc. Thanks!

Drops out, can’t Chromecast

evelyn7221 on

United States

The streaming audio for this app seems to drop out a lot more frequently than other streaming audio apps. Only way to fix it that I’ve found is to close and restart the app. I also really wish the app had chromecast so I could listen on a real speaker while I run around in the morning instead of having to stuff my phone in my sports bra.
