WSKG Public Media App

I appreciate that this is a free service but I’ve switched back to the NPR app because when using the WSKG app, if your mobile coverage changes in any way, the opening ad replays. So if you’re driving in an area with bad coverage, the program you’re listening to is CONSTANTLY interrupted and that annoying UHS ad is replayed. I’m talking 4-5 times in 60 seconds. Until that gets fixed, I’m not using it.

Good: it’s now more obvious what to click Bad: The app has trouble handling the handoff from wifi to cell service. It goes on pause, and pressing play doesn’t always work. It also goes on pause occasionally for no obvious reason, even in areas with strong cell signal. Again, manually pushing play may or may not work until the app is good and ready to restart.

I love and support WSKG. I listen to WSKG radio on the app. You have to press a forward arrow button to start it, then 2 bars gradually turn white as it loads. Then the radio is audible. Recently it’s back to its age old issue of not starting at all. I hard restarted my iPhone and that didn’t solve the problem. I deleted and downloaded the app again. Nothing.

Great app. Not completely intuitive, but not too hard to figure out.

problem is, crashes a lot & then one must listen to start-up audio all over again.

I’ve had problems getting the live stream clearly or at all at times, which I think is the app not my device or wifi. But I like this app overall

When it works, it’s great. It worked flawlessly for a year or more, but then started shutting down after connecting to the livestream.It would play that little commercial and then seem to spool for 4 or 5 seconds, then shut down completely. Annoying. I deleted it and reinstalled, and it got better for a while then started again.

That is all.

I’ve had this app for a couple of years and it has been wonderful. I can listen to my station while walking my dog, digging in the yard or drywalling in the house. It’s been perfect, until a couple days ago. Now when I login it connects to the station and then shuts down. I started up again connect to the station it shuts down. This goes on over and over and over it was sometimes stay connected when I’m on Wi-Fi but you’re no longer stay connected when I’m on data, which is how I mostly used it. I’m sure it will get fixed, and when it does I’ll put my star rating back up to five. But until then it’s just immensely frustrating.

I love the content! But the app keeps looping the “your care your way” sponsor message every few minutes, interrupting the news when I try listening this way. In the past this message played only once then streaming was not interrupted after that.
