Reviews
Illegible The new u.i. seems interesting, but is too difficult to read. It retains the small type in portrait mode. No support for zoom. Makes the stripped down ui even less useful.
Where are the recorded podcasts The new design is much more fluid and better interface. I like that a lot. However the biggest reason I used this app was to listen to podcasts of old shows and the archives. Now I have to only listen to what today's programming is. I cannot find a way to choose a show that I want to listen to and then listen to multiple broadcasts from that show. That is the biggest problem at this time
Great idea, abysmal execution The new version is much easier to navigate but the streaming is very spotty. I have to restart, on average, every 8 minutes!! So frustrating.
Doesn't stream well. When streaming I will consistently get the first advertisement and then about 30 seconds of programming and then it will choke. Really totally useless for me. I am sad because I now find myself going to IHeartRadio to listen to Minnesota public radio because it's reliable even though I live in Chicago. I wish WBEZ would jump on the band. wagon with an organization that knows how to delivery streaming instead of trying to do it themselves. I am running a Samsung S4.
This update? *smh* An update was long overdue, but this current one as to my posting is very disappointing. With my android Samsung s4 cannot pinch to enlarge the screen view. Seems as if the format is made for a standard ipad. The play button is on the very top left, and unless I have a finger the thickness of a needle cannot select it. I will always love wbez, but they have a lot of making up to do with their app.
Too small The text is way too small and there is no way to zoom in. The play/pause icon in the corner is really small too and often takes a few taps, or even an app restart, for it to stream. It had a hard time deciding to play it pause. I prefer the old layout only because the text was larger and programs were displayed more clearly. The app also shuts itself off mid story and will not restart.
What's New
A complete App redesign and rebuild to introduce new features including on-demand audio and podcast delivery, multimedia and social content, and a more stable App designed to eliminate the issues surrounding App crashes when the live stream is played.
