Just give us back our old app

PattyJL on

This app is terrible. It stops the feed multiple times, or it simply crashes, or it says there’s no Internet when there is. Please just bring back the old app. Until you fix it I’m just using Tune in Radio.

Frustrating

Lfc fan2 on

The app will not stay open. The minute the screen sleeps it stops. If I get an interruption it stops. Of and when it goes back on, I’ve lost a large part of the program. But often I wait a long time and realize it won’t go on until I open it on my phone again. This just doesn’t work. Please fix the bug!

Having same issue as June 18, 2024 writer and very frustrated by it. On an Apple 13 pro. Hope it is resolved soon because WNYC is a life line.

Good update but really miss the resume feature

Flabbedyjab123 on

First, props for finally updating the app after a few years of no development! Gone are the days of having to surgically avoid the iPhone Home Bar when trying to advance forward or backward in a program with the slider. And you can even advance +- 10 seconds from the iPhone lock screen like a native app! What I REALLY miss though is being able to resume later partially listened programs from where you left off. I used to do that a lot in the old app and it doesn’t seem to have any record of what you listened to or where you left off now. I see from other comments though that feature may be in development so preemptive 👏 if that’s the case. All in all very good update but missing a key feature.

Drops Off

akamzpac on

I listen to WNYC daily through the app. The new update is disappointing and frustrating. The app will drop off/shut down when my alarm goes off, after a call, or interruption. The old version would reload and continue playing after the interruption, or I could quickly start up. Now I need to reset/find the app again, and often, I need to fully reload to play again (the play button won’t work). Please fix. I am a huge fan of WNYC - the poor basic functioning of this app pains me.

Miss the old version

Suto2 on

New app quits and stops playing all the time. More difficult to navigate too. Why mess with perfection? Please revert… I’m tired of quitting and restarting multiple times a day!

Removed timer

SheNar1 on

The sleep timer has disappeared. It means I cannot listen late night. Need that timer reinstalled

Terrible! Change it back!

Brian Boucher NYC on

Awful “upgrade.” I’ll just say one thing: the play button OFTEN DOES NOT WORK. That’s all you need to know.

Why do tech nerds and app people always feel compelled to “improve” perfectly functional apps? Case in point: This new WNYC app was breathlessly promoted on WNYC shows, and it is basically useless, compared to the just fine previous app. I won’t go into detail because many have done that before me on all the 1 & 2 star reviews. I won’t be using the app until it is “improved” back to the uncomplicated previous version. Don’t be dumb WNYC! We depend on you!

Buggy

Mablaa on

Audio stops whenever the display turns off (or goes to the Lock Screen). Very annoying.
