User Reviews

Users appreciate the WDBO app for providing access to the station and news when radio reception is poor, with a generally user-friendly interface. However, multiple recurring issues include app crashes, audio stream interruptions, ineffective notifications that redirect to external webpages, and complaints about the weakened radio signal after frequency changes. Many users are frustrated with the app's reliability and signal problems, which hinder their listening experience, especially in vehicles.

Pros

Provides access to WDBO radio station when reception on traditional radio is poor or unavailable.
Offers news, weather, and traffic updates in a straightforward, easy-to-read format.
Allows users to listen to live audio streams conveniently via mobile devices, useful for people on the move.
Notifications keep users informed about station content and breaking news.
User-friendly interface and good app design according to some users.

Cons

App often crashes, freezes, or gets stuck on the splash screen, requiring multiple restarts.
Audio stream stops abruptly or cuts out, especially when switching to other apps or locking the device.
Notifications redirect users to a webpage instead of the relevant story within the app, causing confusion.
Poor radio signal strength after WDBO moved to new FM/AM frequencies, leading to loss of traditional radio listeners.
App frequently reports slow internet connection errors despite users having strong internet service, leading to playback interruptions.

The app is good. But I used to enjoy and listen to your station every day. But I live in Orlando. And I cannot even get a signo on my radio. When when W DBO first started, they had a strong signal now when they changed over. The signal is weand can Billy be heard anywhere in my area? Which is Orlando Westfield, East Orlando or or take Canaveral or my p**** or Lake Nona need to fix. and make It's stronger, so we could hear It in our radio. Not our phone when we need our phone for other Uses

I really like WDBO and the app on my phone is useful when I am on the move. What I don't like is missing something because of ads. Then, the Open Mic pops up by itself. One mistake or go backwards and you start over with the ads.
