User Reviews

Overall, users praise WXXI for rich local and NPR programming and portability, with a simple, cross‑device interface. Many can listen reliably and enjoy classical music access. However, recurring issues include a busy UI that’s hard to navigate, streaming glitches (buffering, drops, and occasional freezes), and features that are missing or hard to access (classical division, sleep timer, obvious playback controls). Some streams open in a browser instead of inside the app, and restart ads disrupt listening. Despite UX and stability concerns, the app remains favored for content and remote listening.

Pros

Wide, diverse content: local Rochester programs, NPR news, and classical options all in one app.
Simple, clean design and generally reliable for everyday listening.
Excellent for listening on the go or when traveling—remote access works well.
Cross-device support and easy access on iPhone and iPad.
High-quality programming and easy discovery of content.

Cons

UI is busy and cluttered, making it hard to find what you want.
Frequent streaming glitches: buffering, drops, and occasional freezes requiring restarts.
Live streams often open in a browser instead of inside the app.
Missing features and controls: no sleep timer, hard-to-find play/playlist, missing classical division.
Ad interruptions on restart and intrusive intro ads.
