Ratings and Reviews
Suddenly stops
When my screen closes dueto inactivity, sometimes the audio will stop. Once this starts, audio is interrupted every time screen sleeps, until I stop the app by swiping upand restart.
When an alarm goes off or i receive a phone call, audio does not restart automatically after alarm is dismissed. I have to find the app and press play again.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for listening and using the app! We're investigating why the app stops playing in the background sometimes and hope to have a new update in the App Store soon. We'll share more information here when it's ready.
Bring back old app. This upgraded version is horrible!
This is a horrible update. I use the WNYC app in my car EVERYDAY. This new upgraded app is terrible when it is used to broadcast on my car audio system and I have a brand new 2023 vehicle (so a sophisticated audio system). The old app would re-start automatically when I got back into my car (without even touching my phone) - this upgraded version DOES NOT. In fact, when I get back into my car and try to restart the "live" feed by pressing the play button in the app on my iphone - THE PLAY BUTTON DOESN'T EVEN WORK. I have done this over 50 times and it has never worked. I actually need to entirely close this upgraded app version and reopen and then press play to restart the live feed. Ridiculous. Please bring back the old app or fix this bug ASAP.
Updated app not so great
The updated app does not remember where I paused a program if I come back to it after more than 30 minutes of so. I listen to a lot of programs in small segments throughout the day, so this is terribly frustrating. It’s also harder to find and browse my favorite shows. The old app was far superior.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for listening and using the app! We're looking at a few ways to make it easier to return to your spot in a program and hope to release those soon.
