WGN Radio - Chicago's Very Own

This app constantly errors out and loses signal regularly. Your lucky to get 20 minutes out of an hour. Also very hard on the battery. Better luck using Alexa.

WGN is my constant…. But with this app it isn’t because it won’t continue and goes out so I miss a full conversation, news updates etc….. so frustrating that the iPhone app is so lousy to listen too. Please FIX it soon as I’m sure many people have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with my internet so it’s not that. Thanks.

I usually listen to the Blackhawks broadcast but for the past two months when I click to stream on the app or website it doesn’t play the broadcast - just an endless loop of ads. Super disappointing. I don’t live in Illinois anymore and I used to enjoy listening to the games via the app.

The worst radio app I’ve ever used. Interrupts itself every 5-10 mins with a commercial ….or worse, it won’t stop buffering so I’ll have to restart it, then sit thru more canned commercials. Sometimes it interrupts its own commercials with different commercials! All a very crummy way to listen to ‘talk-radio’, esp when there are already more commercials than content.

Keeps buffering! Then it restarts and you have to listen to the annoying Chevy commercials over and over! Enjoy listening to this program while working outside but this app is weak.

Every time my phone changes access points (all same SSID) as I move between upstairs and downstairs, I hear the connection commercial for Chevy again. This interrupts the program and is very irritating. I used to use radio garden to avoid this problem, but it seems that WGN cut off that access. Other station's apps don't have this issue. Don't I listen to enough commercials in the program stream? Please fix.

Start app on your device - Chevy commercial Connect to bluetooth - Chevy commercial Leave your WiFi range to use 5g - Chevy commercial Answer a call on your smartphone - Chevy commercial Connect smartphone to Apple CarPlay - Chevy commercial Respond to a text message - Chevy commercial "Take it from #99 - Chicago winters are tough, but Chevy..." "Hey Blackhawks fans, Chicagoland Chevy dealers..." "Ready for a summer roadtrip? Your Chicago Chevy dealers..." "Hit the road in a new Chevy Trax from your Chicagoland Chevy dealers..."

I used to use this app exclusively. It was great and I loved it. In the last year or so, the app is buggy. I will be listening and go to pause, by tapping on my headphones pause button. Sometimes pause works, sometimes I go to iOS control panel and pressing play does not work. I have to go into the app and select play. Sometimes I will pause and later I will notice the app has started playing again. I have stopped using the app all together. Just go to the Apple Music app and search for WGN radio or tell Siri to play WGN radio. You don’t need the app.

Every time I start the app I have to endure a 10 or 15 second ad. Not a big deal BUT if reception/signal is spotty, I endure that ad several times in a row. Not to mention the same 4 radio ads they play on the broadcast. What blows my mind is some of the ads on the app are even geographically relevant! Holy cow! I realize this is commercial radio, but F I will not use this app long term because of the marketing and endless advertising.

LOVE THIS ON SUNDAY MORNING! Thank you! It’s a wonderful way to start my day
