## WBEZ Reviews in Соединенные Штаты

### *---- "App skips to beginning of prior stream mid live stream unprompted multiple times a day"
The app keeps skipping to the beginning of the broadcast of the program immediately prior while in the middle of current live streams. This happens multiple times a day and was especially pronounced around midnight on election night - the last time that people need their news to be unreliable.

I wish that shows other than station-specific podcasts were also listed with associated shows/episodes indexed in order. Also, it would be helpful to provide a search function to look up content by title/key word.
-- FlyingWalrus_, 2024-11-06

### ***** "Love WBEZ"
Great app, even better radio. Thank you WBEZ!
-- 3568854227800653, 2024-11-05

### *---- "Too biased towards Democrats"
WBEZ lost my financial support because they aren’t reporting news without bias. WBEZ is totally biased, and I don’t appreciate that they really don’t cover all of the news going on within our country. They also favor certain presidential candidates and that isn’t good reporting. Reporting should be unbiased and allow the listener to discern what they think.
-- chknbaby, 2024-10-29

### **--- "Please kill the starter Advert"
When I click onto the ad it starts with an advert for WBEZ. If I switch devices and try to listen to the same program it disrupts this. Please remove this delay.
-- Eilswen, 2024-10-10

### ***-- "Screen locks on Push Notifications"
App works great if I hit play before the Push Notification pops up. The screen is too large so I can’t find the Save or Exit button.
I have the app set to auto-update. 
What can you recommend? Can I email you a screenshot?
Thank you
-- Chi-Town Greg, 2024-09-11

### ***** "Keeps me up to date on everything"
The WBEZ app is awesome, easy to use, and truly informational.
-- Goat cheese and Cherries, 2024-08-11

### *---- "Inusable right now"
Yet another horrific series of new glitches. This works for about 4 minutes and then you get the spinning wheel. There’s an NPR app that’s better.
-- Deebilly, 2024-08-05

### *---- "Ads are looping so content doesn’t stream"
Suddenly this morning the initial ads before content on the WBEZ app are looping so the actual content can’t play.  While there is a button to skip to live this doesn’t work.  Not sure why this happening as it seems to be on the same version.  Also the web live stream doesn’t have the same issue.
-- Cody Jws, 2024-08-03

### **--- "Too Buggy"
No longer reliable. Stream often stops, giving me an endless spinning wheel. Rewinding or listening to an earlier programming now essentially impossible.
-- Corey McC, 2024-08-02

### ***** "Staying in the know"
No matter what time I want to listen to my favorite programs, I can tune in and even fast forward or review to hear the parts I want to hear what I want to hear them.
-- ACCurrent, 2024-07-11

### **--- "Newest release is very buggy"
The newest release is very buggy when listening to anything other than the current live stream. It often takes multiple taps on prior shows in order to get them to begin playback. Playback often ends mid-show and starts playing a (seemingly random) earlier program, most commonly when the livestream starts playing a new program (i.e., at the top of the hour).
-- JWolfee, 2024-07-02

### **--- "Gotten so buggy.. UI is a cluttered mess"
Loved the previous ever app from a few years ago. Not sure why the change but certainly wasn’t to make the app easier to use. 
Now it’s gotten so buggy I rarely use it.
-- JazzCritic, 2024-07-01

### *---- "Still buffering issue"
I just moved back to Chicago after 10 years. And the WBEZ live stream is still silent and buffering every few minutes. Worse at night and on weekends. After the initial ads, it’s completely dead. After 10 years!
-- But up hm as, 2024-06-30

### *---- "Overheats phone as of 06/28/2024"
It only plays for approximately 10 minutes and shuts off. Problems started yesterday.
-- Wbez-Chicago, 2024-06-29

### ***** "Listen to WBEZ here"
This app is very functional for time shifting my listening
-- WoolPig, 2024-06-27

### ***** "Great way to listen"
Love this app. Great for listening to any show when you want.
FYI “radio schedule “ seems to be broken in the latest version
-- Xyondan, 2024-03-27

### ***** "Good app"
Works well, and much more reliable than other apps I’ve used.
-- 906Il, 2024-03-16

### **--- "Love WBEZ with allMy heart. But I hate the app"
The ads when you start it after pausing for more than a few minutes start again and you loose part of the segments.  But what’s worse is that when the phone goes dark, so does the app.
I thought it was my phone, but the problem only occurs with this app. I deleted it a couple of weeks ago. I’m downloading again hoping the problem has been solved.  
I’m looking forward to upgrading this review very soon.
-- Quetilla, 2024-02-12

### ***** "Daily Dose"
1A is my favorite! I love access to the other shows as well. WBEZ is a thread to my week, even weekends. I also really enjoy the local shows and listen everyday.
-- OrangeB123, 2024-01-12

### ***** "CarPlay please?"
Can you please get CarPlay working again?
Otherwise a great App. I love that it remembers where I am when I have to get out the car mid talk show.
-- JohnAnderson24, 2023-11-13
