User Reviews

Reviews show strong frustration with the WLS-AM 890 app. The core feature, live streaming, often works only intermittently because of intrusive ads, mandatory registration, and recurring crashes. Users report full-screen ads that block controls, repeated commercial spots, and privacy concerns around sign-in. Streaming reliability is a major issue, with frequent dropouts, buffering, and occasional 'not connected' errors, sometimes tied to VPN use. Navigation can also be poor, with blank screens when trying to view today's shows or host information. A few loyal listeners still use the app to listen live, but many are looking for fixes or alternatives.

Pros

Core feature lets you listen to WLS AM 890 live.
The 'Listen Now' control provides a straightforward way to start playback.
Loyal listeners use the app to stay connected to the station when away from traditional radio.

Cons

Excessive, intrusive ads and pop-ups, including full-screen ads that interrupt playback and are hard to close.
Mandatory registration or social sign-in required to use the app.
Frequent crashes, reboots, and general instability; the app stops and needs to be restarted.
Unreliable streaming with dropouts, buffering, and 'not connected' errors.
Poor navigation and content access, such as blank screens when trying to view today's shows or host information.

Recent reviews

The commercial is awful and it seems to play every 5 minutes.

I love WLS. I listen on the radio all the time. The old app was useful. I want to be able to go and see what shows are on today and see something about the people from the show. Possibly some news about what’s happening with the station. Instead you get a bunch of pop-ups and ads. It’s almost unusable now. I can hit the listen now button which is the only useful thing in the app. When you hit what looks like the links to today’s shows that all shows nothing pops up it’s just blank. I really wish this would be fixed.
