WXXI Public Media App

The WXXI app is simple and works well, just what I want in the morning to catch up the news.

I so want to like this app, it’s currently the only way I can listen to WXXI news, I stream. I’ve had to delete and reload the app numerous times as it freezes. Annoying, it least I have an avenue to fix it.

What a wonderful bonus of being a public radio supporter! Amazing programming and so easy to find it.

I always enjoy this app, whether listening to classical music or news.

WXXI is a gem!

I enjoy the app for the most part, but it frequently and annoyingly cuts away from programming and buffers a lot. The programming abruptly stops , re-engages and then goes right to several “underwriting” sponsors. This happens every few minutes. The app was last updated 8 months ago and is desperate need of a refresh to accommodate the new iOS releases. I also have super fast internet speed, so it’s not my system with the problem. Fix this problem and I’ll give the app 5 stars.

My complaint starts at the splash page - my gosh, is it busy! So much info on that page, but little I actually want. I simply want: 1) To listen live to the classical feed. 2) Know what I’m listening to. 3) Set a sleep timer so the feed stops after XX minutes. 4) Links to syndicated show websites, such as “Exploring Music” or “The Score.” You could steal a lot of ideas from other station apps...

This app lets me listen to WRUR even though I moved more than a hundred miles away. It keeps me connected to Rochester.

I agree with the reviewers above "the app is too busy..." I usually only want to listen to the live broadcasts or catch up (later) with the live programs that I missed. WXXI radio signals here in rural Livingston county are not great, so I like to listen on-line. Often the content takes a l-o-n-g time to load, probably due to our less than robust bandwidth & internet speed. Are public stations lobbying for better internet service in rural areas? That would help!

This is the station I listen to the most. The app has great content but it would be nice if play button and play list were more obvious. The home page is too busy with content. Sometimes it drops out, too. It doesn’t matter which device I’m using either.
