An exceptional app. Easy navigation and informative. The station is commercial free (apart from sponsor mentions) and is funded by listener donations and employs volunteer announcers...the music is via CD, rather than live and is a varied classical music mix. Free and good!
I love the idea of being able to stream classical music without having to go through my web browser. Installed this app after hearing it recommended on the live stream... I tried to open the app and play music three times; each time the app crashed within 15 seconds. I'm not going to go on a rant, but all the bells and whistles in the world are worthless if base functionality is forgotton. Uninstalling, maybe try again later.
WCPE is a wonderful classical music station run mostly by volunteers. The announcers are delightful, particularly because they are live. There are occasional technical glitches, but nothing that can't be fixed and forgiven. Our local public station effectively abandoned us by moving its transmitter so far away that we can't receive the signal. WCPE solved that problem for us!
I find it reliable and clear connection. I would like to use the alarm function, and have variable success. Not sure if the app needs to be open, but not playing for the alarm to trigger. Have enjoyed this station for 20ish years and like that I don't have to access via 3rd party for streaming.
I love this app. I really like this station because, yes, I could just play classical music on a spotify playlist, but i feel like there's so much more variety on this station. The app is nice because i dont live in nc and i dont have a radio either. Now how do i rate this 6 stars?
I loved listening to the station on the radio to go to sleep as a kid, my sister used it to keep her kids asleep when they were babies, and here I am back again listening on my phone for some help to sleep again. I love that they have an app. Leaving the website on all night was burning up my battery, and having my phone under my pillow doesn't make that any better.
My android Lenovo tablet is unable to load the icons/ links under facebook, orchestras, twitter. App ceases to work and no music is played. Wcpe programming is very good. I am disappointed that unnecessary app features prevent listening to this excellent music service.
excellent most days. Was bad early this week bit is fine now. 9/12: working ok today after intermittent problem earlier this week. Post Christmas 12/26 glow review: no real issues with connection or playback. Like the new daily catalog listing. 1/15 review: no real change from prior review. Really like new format. 6/29 Continues to impress.
Notification for the app is extremely persistent - I had to force quit to get it to go away. The design is also a bit dated. Most important of all, though, it does what it says - streams WCPE.
Just downloaded, looking for a way to give text comments to hosts re: online activity...finding no obvious way in app (other than vocal), tried to craft something in email and lost all input due to text editing problems... Love y'all, but...hard to comment via text!
I love the radio station. It loses a star because it loads dreadfully slowly. (Update: The app has gone through an upgrade apparently because it is now very fast. I changed it to 5 stars.)
WCPE is a great app for listening to classical music, and I would say that it has the best selection of any radio or app. However, it is a little bit disorganized.
This app is slow and clunky. It is user friendly and intuitive however, after pressing an executable icon, it takes so long for the subroutine to commence.
Best classical music experience on the Net. Not a Top 40 station. You get deep cuts and composers and artists you've never heard before.
The sleep and wake-up timers are a nice touch. Performance and programming info always available.
Love the station. Love the app. I couldn't get through the day without the great classical music and knowledgeable announcers on WCPE.
I enjoy this station globally and clearly. I especially like listening to the broadcasts of contemporary compositions.
So far, the app is identical to the radio (a few seconds behind). Highly satisfied after a few hours of use.
Love the the music, love the station, probably one of the best classical music stations in the whole USA!!!
This app is great! Very easy to use! Very fast! FREE! And, best of all, the world's most beautiful music 24/7/365!
It's lovely when it works but getting the stream to play can be tricky and then it will cut off randomly.
The app doesn't work. it hangs when I try to start it I tried it on my new Samsung Galaxy A50 smart phone running Android 9.
beautiful music 24/7 with great clarity. announcer tells composer & title of each selection before & after it's played😁
WCPE radio station is THE only Classical Music app that is a must for serious music listeners. Goforth and spread the news.
Outstanding station that presents classical music in a most professional, friendly and informative fashion! Bill Wienecke
Love the music. Love how it's not super repetitive (Repetitive music is frustrating and annoying), Love how there are no commercials. Love how there is no politics (please whatever you do don't start including politics (politics angers me more than anything else)). Listening from Nebraska. If I was not making less than 25k per year with some debts and knew the stations mailing address, I would definitely give monetary donations to this station.
