Very finicky. It was to be powered by AirKast. Couldn’t pull station up on phone and tried to delete and replace, for some reason can’t recapture app on phone. Station and music is great. I’ve been a supporter and helping to increase listeners but this has been a bad experience. Hopefully you guys can rectify from your end.
Jazz Is My Life!

I usually live streamed via the web and lately encountered some transmissions issues (which they admitted to). So I tried the app on my phone and listened to jazz all night without any problems here in Manila. Just downloaded the app to my iPad. I was very happy! Three months later the app is suddenly shutting off after 2 minutes. I’ve reloaded the app on both my iPhone and iPad but it doesn’t help. I’m changing the rating from 5 stars to 1 in hopes that it might get better. Now I’m frustrated and not happy at all.
October 2022 version is surly

After working through the new interface of this app, I started listening as I usually do - while reading emails & scrolling websites - when the sound stopped. After I found that I had not accidentally turned it off, I discovered that this app will not connect to WBGO if I go to any browser. The app transmits what WBGO is broadcasting when I read my emails, but stops when I go to any browser.I deleted the app.
Sad App

I’ve loved WBGO for a long time. But this app is rather unfortunate - very buggy, terrible layout and you cannot, I repeat, CANNOT play whatever program you want without hearing their dumb aircast-created 2 minute promo about how to connect to hear your favorite artists all in one place. This isn’t commercial radio so there shouldn’t be ads for the station every 5 seconds.
Updated branding.
