Decent app & station

This is one of the few exceptions to my general preferences for mp3 playlists over radio. The app is basic and mostly does what it’s intended to do. One bug I’ve noticed is that the currently-playing and recently-played tracks will stop updating after a while; restarting the app gets it working again, but it is an inconvenience.

Landscape mode and on-screen volume control would be nice additions, as would a way to save a track’s info to a list so I can reference it later. And maybe a way to let a donation silence the constant nags to donate when it’s that season again. :P

Initial screen warning

If you install this app, every time you turn you iPhone on, half the screen will be filled with an announcement of what’s playing now in WQXR. Also, there’s a voice ad every time you open the app and want to access the station via Bluetooth. I’d be willing to shell a few bucks to avoid such nuisances. Improvement could include an option to view the day’s program without having to go to the daily email, which btw is great.

Please add support for iPad.

I could never deduct any stars from this classical music gem, but it would be most welcome to have a universal app that is designed for both the iPhone and iPad. Most iPad owners hold and view their devices in landscape mode, as do the folios and stands designed for the iPad when set on the coffee table, countertop or a nightstand.
WQXR is a wonderful gift to its music loving audience, and has played an important part in the lives of its listeners for decades. Looking forward to many more.
