User Reviews

Users praise WITF for rich NPR/local content and a clean, intuitive interface with quick push-button access. However, streaming instability—frequent dropouts and buffering—ads interrupting playback, and occasional crashes requiring restarts are common drawbacks, with occasional live-stream issues after iOS updates.

Pros

Extensive content library including local news and NPR content.
User-friendly layout and intuitive controls (large Play button and straightforward navigation).
Fast, solid performance and improvements after updates.
Integrated quick access to the full WITF site/content via push-button navigation.

Cons

Frequent audio dropouts and buffering; streams cut out often.
Sponsorship/advertisement interrupts playback, sometimes louder or blocking content.
Need to close/reopen or reinstall the app to fix audio issues.
Occasional live-stream failures, especially after iOS updates.

Recent reviews

Lots of content, but it definitely emphasizes watching/listening. I get it - watching and listening is what public broadcasting is all about. BUT - interfacing with an app is a visual/reading experience. I would use the app more if the layout and design was more magazine-like so that the reading experience was also enjoyable.

I use the app most of the time, except when driving. When I’m traveling, I can always get local news. Only small issue: on the iPhone it cuts out every few minutes for a few seconds, then picks up again. Maybe it’s caused by a problem with our WiFi or the phone… ?

The WITF app is one I use daily and often during the day to keep me informed and entertained. I only had one glitch recently and after e-mailing the station regarding it, the glitch was gone. Thank you, NPR and WITF. ~PENNSYLVANIA, THE KEYSTONE OF THE UNION~
