User Reviews

Reviews largely split between the value of WJR’s programming and the app’s delivery problems. The main recurring complaints are intrusive, frequent ads (often at startup and after relaunch), reliability issues (crashes and not entering play mode), and streaming drops when switching networks. Some users prize the content and convenience, but overall the user experience is hindered by ads and instability, prompting some listeners to seek alternatives.

Pros

Valuable access to WJR programming and hosts for on-the-go listening.
Longtime listeners appreciate having WJR in a dedicated mobile app for convenient access.
Content that some users feel is informative and trustworthy.

Cons

Excessive ads and ad loops interrupt playback, including startup ads and ads after relaunch.
Frequent crashes, freezes, and failures to enter play mode; the app often must be reopened or kept in the foreground.
Streaming drops and delays when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks; relaunching often brings more ads.
Forced registration/login requirements restricting access for privacy-conscious users.
Programming changes and heavy ad load degrade the listening experience.

Recent reviews

I gave this app a 1 because 0 is not an option. Launch the app, you get 3 minutes of ads. It inserts ads during broadcasts, especially sporting events. Make a phone call during an ad? It pauses the ad and resumes when you hang up. Want to listen on your phone? If you turn off the screen on your phone, it stops playing. Apparently it wants you to stare at the banner ad while listening to zip recruiter and sports gambling ads. Car play takes it to the next level. Want to listen while you’re going on a trip? If you start playing and then switch to your map, it stops playing most of the time. No other audio app does this. Then sometimes it shows it’s playing but no sound. Yes, audio is turned on the car stereo because everything else plays. Other times, you get a black screen. WJR should be ashamed this app bears their name.

What’s the point of this app if you can listen on iHeart Radio along with many other stations and podcasts? I wish I could listen to FULL past episodes of Mitch Albom on demand since it aires while I’m at work so I can never listen. I’d give this app 5 stars if it provided that.

All the sudden, if I don’t keep the app up and running on my phone it closes and fades out. I have to keep my phone awake. This doesn’t happen with any other audio or podcast app. I know the audience is generally older, but you need some young folks in IT to make this app work better.
