Ratings and reviews

Frustratingly slow scroll of what's playing. Sometimes, the scroll disappears. Like the darned website, the scroll doesn't provide the name of the performer. Under the scroll is a link for the day's playlist, which opens in the app, and the list shows all the performers. A very busy app with links to podcasts, a sleep/alarm function I haven't played with, but if you want to leave the playlist opened to follow along with very Complete information, that's easy enough.

I love having all my WETA info in one place, and it's great to have easy access to all the features--Opera House, Classical Breakdown, etc. One big improvement I'd like to see: when I go to the Playlist, take me right to what's playing now, so I don't have to scroll ad infinitum. Even better, have a What's Playing Now item on the Home screen. Many thanks!

Update: it's been a year since my review and nothing has changed. Sometimes it's unlistenable, the disruptions are so frequent. It completely stops all the time. Friends have the same issue, so it's not my Samsung Note9 or my internet. Comments from 1/25/21: The app is frequently interrupted and reloads itself. I don't have a single steaming app that has problems like this. I downloaded this app when they first launched it, and while I use it often, it is frustrating to hear so many disruptions.
