Ratings and reviews

I enjoy listening to WRTI, and I'm glad for the app which makes it easier to listen when I am not in the Philadelphia area. Sometimes the app itself has technical difficulties, but I have noticed that the frequency of disruptions has been reduced since the app was released several years ago, so expect that the app will continue to improve. Even so, this app is my favorite place to go to listen to classical and jazz music.

I live in the Philadelphia area and so I have been listening to WRTI for many years. I love the classical music and the jazz. I particularly like Ovations on Sunday morning. This is a marvelous app. I have to finagle the app a bit to get it to play in the background while I continue to use the phone, but no biggee. This drawback should have been fixed a long time ago.

Pretty good. My one complaint is that on my mobile phone it's kind of hard to find my way around the website. But I get more reliable reception on it than on my stereo, and it lets me listen to my favorite station wherever I am, as long as I have internet connectivity--the subway doesn't make it :-( . 4½⭐, but I can't do that, so I'm rounding up. --- 9/27/20: After I added direct links to the jazz & classical schedules and playlists, no issues: real ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
