User Reviews

Listeners praise WFMT’s rich programming and on-demand archives, and value the ability to listen on the go. However, reliability is a major issue: streams drop frequently, the app crashes, and it often fails to auto-resume. Metadata is inconsistent, with titles not always matching what’s playing. Some users also report ads. While archive access has improved, stability remains the key hurdle to a consistently satisfying app experience.
Pros
  • High-quality WFMT programming and broad variety praised by listeners.
  • In-app access to archives (Folk Stage and Midnight Special) expands listening options.
  • Convenient on-the-go listening and easy access to WFMT content.
Cons
  • Frequent streaming dropouts and unstable playback requiring manual restarts.
  • Crashes and lack of automatic resume after interruptions.
  • Inconsistent or missing program metadata and show information (titles not always matching, little info about what's playing).

It is 2026. Streaming technology has progressed to the point an”app” should function without dropouts. It is time to update beyond 1999 performance. This is an old “app” that is buggy and has issues with dropping out.

Got this app yesterday. Worked fine. listened for a while and stopped it. A few hours later my phone got a low power alert. Battery said it was the wfmt app. Have to kill it when you stop listening.

I love the station, but this app is substandard. Streaming is so incredibly touchy that any interruption, however momentary (phone call, turning off audio output device, alarm, etc.) causes a stoppage, which necessitates a relaunch. This makes the app’s on-demand feature basically worthless.
