## Review summary

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).
