User Reviews

Users praise WLRN for easy navigation and strong local/global news content with direct iPhone access. However, recurring issues include unstable streaming with pauses/drops, ads interrupting playback, crashes and long load times, and interruptions not resuming automatically. The redesign is seen as less usable by some, with UI clutter. Overall, content quality is valued, but reliability and interruption handling need improvement to satisfy ongoing listeners and pledges.

Pros

Easy to use with wonderful navigation
Strong content including local programming and unbiased world/national stories
Direct access to WLRN on iPhone with a clean interface
Surprisingly well-developed app with impressive features

Cons

Streaming frequently cuts out, pauses, or drops and often does not resume automatically
Advertisements interrupt the stream repeatedly, including at the start of playback or between segments
Instability: the app crashes or fails to reconnect; long load times and need to restart
Disruptive UI changes: cluttered thumbnails and a non-intuitive interface; not a one-click experience
Poor handling of interruptions (phone calls, alerts) causing playback to pause and not resume automatically

I have the same problem the person who titled his review Nagware has. Also, there are pockets of places in my neighborhood where it cuts out, but when I return to that same area, it’s fine. This happens 100% of the time. currently, I’m listening to the app to see if the buzz in my radio is from the station or my radio and sure enough, I’m hearing the buzz in my app. So you guys have a lot to work on. I was all set to go out and buy a new radio. The one I have now is 47 years old and has been perfect until now.
