One of several sources that I go to to listen to classical music through my new Phonak Marvel hearing aids. My experience has been exemplary with no buffering issues as has been reported by other reviewers. My WiFi feed is well over 200 Mbps, so maybe that could explain the better performance. With the Bluetooth streaming I hear music crystal clearly now. What a thrill.

The new format took me by surprise and was a little “off putting”— but once I realized it put so much info and stories in clear view, I began to appreciate the format. I have not had the buffering problems noted in other reviews. I listen all day— would be lost without NPR.
Poor app design - too busy
##^
I listen to radio IQ on either the WVTF app or on the NPR one app. Many times the NPR app doesn’t connect well so I end up using the WVTF app to listen. The constantly shifting highlighted news stories on the app itself are a distraction and I never use it for anything other than audio. As mentioned another comments, the buffering is really distracting. When you first turned it on, it will often repeat the first few seconds two or three times before it finally connects consistently.
Fun but unfunctional

Great options for reading the schedule and finding news stories. It’s the only way I can get to the music side of the station. The portion of the app that is the audio player is not able to play reliably for the morning news. Lots of buffering. You are better off using the website if listening is your goal. A new update was offered last weekend and it didn’t help at all.
