A refreshed playlist — The playlist tab now leads with an on-air banner showing who's currently on the air; tap it to open the DJ's controls. Each track is stamped with the time it played, and album artwork loads as soon as you open the app instead of waiting for you to scroll. On Tour — A new tab for discovering upcoming Triangle-area concerts by the artists WXYC plays. Browse a poster-first list grouped by month, filter by date, venue, and genre, and open a detail view with a venue map, an artist bio, and a ticket link. Share any show as a link or add it straight to your calendar. A "Heard on WXYC" shelf highlights shows by artists in the station's rotation, and a Box Office ticket appears in the playlist when an artist you're hearing has a show coming up. Spotlight & Siri — Search WXYC concerts, venues, artists, and now-playing tracks right from Spotlight, ask Siri about tours near you, and add a show to your calendar by voice. Liked Songs — Tap the heart on any track to save it. Your new Liked tab keeps everything you've liked, on your device. More reliable streaming — The audio engine has been overhauled for far fewer dropouts: the stream now reconnects when it stalls, recovers from silent buffering, and handles switching between headphones, CarPlay, and Bluetooth more gracefully.

THE PLAYLIST IS BACK! Scroll through the feed to see what our wonderful DJs have been playing. Hit the dots to send track info and album art to an app of your choice. We also revived the retro cassette player from the old app. It just felt more.... us.... ya know? Thanks for all of the wonderful feedback on the app, please keep it coming! As a reminder, this app is open source and developed by volunteers/friends of the station. If you'd like to help out, shoot me a note at dvd@wxyc.org. Big thanks to Jake B. for making this release happen! Your friend in radio solidarity, -dvd

We've reduced the size of the app significantly and made numerous performance and UI improvements, including... A new widget that you can install on your homescreen that will show you what's currently playing on WXYC! Thanks so much for your support, feedback and feature requests. This update lays the groundwork for a number of new features coming down the pipe. -dvd

New for iOS 11, we've rebuilt the app from the ground up! Back in the heady days of 2010, Jake B. made the very first open-source WXYC iPhone app. At the time this was kind of a big deal as there weren't too many radio stations (let alone college stations) that had an app available for the iPhone. Fast-forward seven years and that app was still choogling along (with a couple updates here and there). Unfortunately, that old app just won't run on the new iOS. So, in keeping with our educational mission, it has been rebuilt by a programming novice with guidance from Jake. At the moment we're just serving up basic streaming and now-playing information, but we'll be adding more features as we go. Airplay should be working now, along with most core audio features that you've come to expect from your iDevice. We're so excited to get feedback on the app that we even added a feedback button! Send dvd a message and let him know what you'd like to see improved... but remember: we've got day jobs and we're building this in our free time because we <3 xyc... so be nice! Everything is open source, so if you're an able developer and want to help out please do get in touch.

Improved streaming code. Music should start playing faster now.
