Recurrent negatives include frequent glitches, streams dropping, and intrusive, long ads that interrupt programming. Additional complaints cite slow startup and occasional failure to resume. Overall, strong content and usability are marred by stability and ad-related drawbacks.

Unreliable, frequent disconnect ions

As accurately described by others, the frequent glitches are frustrating, to the point where I’ve thought about canceling my monthly contribution. When the app fails, it doesn’t cut back to the part of the news it failed at. Why pay for something that prevents you from getting the valuable news WUWM provides? Website works fine, radio works fine, but I don’t want to drag those around my house.
