Practically unusable
Since the NPR app updated, its usability for written news stories has gone way down hill. Based on that, I figured I should finally get around to downloading the more local app, only to find out that it’s even worse. Instead of being a coherent visual, there’s way too many tiny icons whose titles are cut off. To make matters worse, when you like on any story to read it, the text is way too small and lacks any sort of text layout. It’s like reading a website from 1999.
United StatesThe App is needlessly burdensome with time of loading and number of clicks
I wrote this review for years ago, and the situation has gotten no better sense. The app continually stops working, must be deleted, must be reloaded. It’s quite frustrating. I also have used the KCRW app and I never have any of these problems with it. It loads quickly. It does not fail and does not cut out. I wish that WVXU Would revamp the app into ways: 1). streamline the app, so that it loads more quickly. There’s so many features in it, that it takes a long time to load. 2). Work on the app so that it does not repeatedly fail, and require deleting and reloading. When you click on the icon, there is needlessly long wait for the app to load. Then when it opens, after you click play, you must quickly move to the opposite side of the screen and click skip so that you don’t have to wait through advertisements. These two negatives are not necessary. For instance the KCRW app loads much more quickly and does not require you to hit skip to avoid being exposed to a series of ads. I fervently hope that the powers that be a WVXU will simplify the WVXU app so that it is much more user friendly. Finally, I don’t know if any other app goes south in must be deleted and reloaded answer often as this app. It rarely lasts longer than a month on my phone before I have to it stops functioning, I have to delete and re-load.

United StatesWorks fine
I’ve been using this app for several years, and I have had no problem at all. They begin the broadcast with a pitch for money, but I can skip that ad and go right to the good stuff. I like it!
