Features & Capabilities

Wisconsin Public Radio App brings live streams from WPR’s Ideas Network, News, and Classical Network into one easy-to-use app. Use DVR-like controls to pause, rewind, or fast-forward the live stream, switch between streams with a single click, and listen in the background while you browse. Integrated program schedules keep you aware of what’s on across all streams, and On Demand content lets you search programs, view individual segments, and bookmark favorites for later listening.

On Demand and News features let you catch up on headlines, read full stories, and share stories with friends. The built‑in Sleep Timer and Alarm Clock help you fall asleep to or wake up with your favorite station. This app is brought to you by WPR and Public Media Apps, providing members with easy access to great public media wherever you are.

User Reviews

Users praise the app for easy live and on‑demand streaming across WPR’s three stations and in‑app news content, plus portability for listening on the go. However, recurring issues dampen the experience: playback glitches, intrusive ads, a confusing navigation, and occasional livestream dropouts/crashes during live broadcasts.
Pros
  • Easy access to live and on-demand streaming across all WPR feeds (three stations).
  • Portable and convenient for listening on the go (driving, commuting, traveling).
  • In-app access to news articles alongside audio content (read and listen in one place).
  • Considered one of the better public radio apps for Wisconsin listeners with broad station coverage.
Cons
  • Frequent playback glitches and interruptions: streams stop, go quiet, or restart.
  • Ads are frequent and intrusive (ads on open and many commercials).
  • Confusing, slow UI/navigation that makes finding content and live shows harder.
  • Occasional livestream dropouts and crashes during live broadcasts (e.g., morning/evening news).

Reliable app. Use it whenever I can’t get radio reception. Wish it had a feature showing the name/artist of track playing (which can be found on the WPR website). Love to get my WPR anywhere, anytime!
