WUFT Public Media App ٤+

This latest redesign is a vast improvement over the last version, and I like all of the options and UI continuity with the desktop player. However, some strange issues have been happening with buffering and playback. Sometimes the audio will skip ahead by 1/2-2 seconds, or skip back 1-5 seconds and then attempt to "catch up" by skipping ahead a little bit at a time. This doesn't happen too often (anywhere between 2-20 minutes in between), but when it does, it obviously makes it very difficult to follow along with what's being said. Other than that, an excellent improvement!

I'm happy that an app for WUFT, news and information, is again available. But the playing only lasts about twenty minutes before it breaks up. The same thing happens when I listen with an Echo so its not an app problem. I listen to four NPR stations and WUFT is the only one that does not stream well.

There is hope. The app is finally improving. I still get those annoying vitas health care interruptions but less than previously. The really annoying repeating of the same line over and over has disappeared but I don't listen to the station all the time anymore so I can't be sure it is gone for good. I thought I was the only one complaining so I was actually relieved to see the other reviews mentioning problems. I was so frustrated I even suspended my sustainer support. I live in The Villages so other than this app, the only way I can get WUFT is in my car, so I often listen to WMFE or the new WMFV which gives me a better connection. But I prefer WUFT programming so I'm hoping they can fix the problems.
