WFAE Public Radio App

Wfae needs to contract a different coder. This app is garbage and regularly breaks down. Only reason to use it is that’s all wfae has. Great station garbage app.

I wish you would add NPR Hourly Newscast and Hourly Local Newscast to your On Demand choices.

lately i’ve been looking at cracks in the sidewalk, feeling stuck in them. i’ve just turned 20, and i still have several years before i can begin to understand things around me; Chuck leaven’s makes things, even if there strange, simpler by playing me some nice music for the week. thanks chuck.

Have listened to and supported WFAE/WFHE for over 20 years, since I moved to NC. Programming is great, but this app still has significant issues especially every time they "upgrade." I no longer use this station as my alarm because it is so undependable and find myself listening to other stations more and more. The app continually drops (on an iPhone X) and is frustrating to no end. Locks up and have to completely exit and start again. I don't have these issues with other stations / apps. WFAE needs to get their act together as more and more listeners use an app for access.

I listen to WFAE a lot and enjoyed the app greatly until the latest update. I can no longer pause, rewind or fast forward from the lock screen—I have to open the app to do those things. I deleted and reinstalled the app but it didn’t help. I’m disappointed and hope they correct the issue.

I’m an NPR fan, so this app is a great way for me to listen to my local station. I like that when my phone is locked, there is a way to pause on the Lock Screen. Quality local news, though if you’re in the SC suburbs of Charlotte, they don’t often cover SC news. There is a station out of Columbia, SC, but it’s hard to get a signal when using a “regular” radio if you are really close to CLT. So I’ve just gotten used to WFAE and like it- the 9am and 7pm slots are interviews with locals, and it’s not just about local news, it’s with a general who’s visiting to speak at a foreign affairs conference and asking him about Ukraine, it’s with teachers talking about change that needs to happen in education, and electric cars. So interviews that would interest people even if they aren’t in the area

I would love it if WFAE would find a way to NOT auto play ads and the radio when opening the app, even when my phone is set to silent. This annoying glitch alone keeps me from opening the app to get the great local news that WFAE reports.

WFAE delivers an excellent service, app works seamlessly

Many times this app buffers continuously, or loops over the same audio several times before stopping to buffer. Disappointing as I love this NPR station
