User Reviews

Users praise WOSU Public Media App for reliable streaming, ease of use, broad content across radio, TV and podcasts, portability, and lack of intrusive ads. However, there are recurring issues with playback glitches (pausing, replays, syncing), occasional stops/crashes, and navigation issues finding on-demand titles and news stories. Overall, most users find the app useful and well-organized with strong content, but some report stability and UX problems that could be improved, especially around playback reliability and content discovery.
Pros
  • Smooth, reliable playback and a broad content mix (radio, TV, and podcasts).
  • Easy-to-use interface with intuitive navigation and easy browsing of text stories.
  • On-the-go access: listen anywhere, including outside your home listening area.
  • Wide range of content: local stations, NPR, PBS TV, and helpful program information.
  • No intrusive ads and pop-up notifications are rare and generally newsworthy.
Cons
  • Frequent playback glitches: pauses, restarts, and out-of-sync or repeated segments.
  • Occasional stops during playback and, in some cases, the need to reinstall to fix issues.
  • Navigation and discovery could be improved; harder to find on-demand titles and read news stories.

Pauses itself then restarts, or doesn’t restart. At times it will repeat itself like it has gotten out of sync. I mean it will replay an entire segment of live radio that I just finished listening to. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled with no improvement. Not sure what the problem is because the WOSU app is built on the same Public Radio template as WYSO and WVXU, both which perform as one would expect.

This app really needs an upgrade. It is glitchy and sometimes the only way to get it to play is my delete then down load again.

Very good app. They dropped the annoying ad that was played every time you logged on. Huge.
