App itself keeps cutting out, rather frustrating in a radio show. 101.9 wdet station has good programming. App is fraught w problem. I have loaded wuom and wnyc as backup because this app is unreliable

Only live stream works on Android phones. None of the music shows will play

Stream frequently cuts out during broadcast and you have to hit play to start it again

Live stream will not work on Galaxy S7. I have two phones both of them are Galaxy S7 (One Verizon phone and one AT&T) both are running the most recent software, the wdet app is up-to-date and whenever I try to livestream it plays for about 5 seconds and then stops. I really love the radio show, it is my most listened to station on the radio. Please fix this bug and I will gladly give your app five stars

Buggy. Stops playing all the time. You can reinstall all you want. This app is inconsistent and frustrating. I use the MI radio and NPR app now instead.

Most features do not work. Screens for various shows are blank with no way to find archived content. Might as well just go to wdet and npr web pages.

App is buggy, stopped playing the live stream sporadically

Worked great the first few weeks after I downloaded it, then it just stopped. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it several times and nothing. Sent WDET an email about it and the recomended a different app for the live stream, but that times out after a few minutes and I have to continually go back into my phone to hit play again. I don't know if it had something to do with the Samsung updates to the phone or the app itself, but I'd like it fixed so I can use it.

The most recent updates have fixed this app for my Galaxy S5. The stream takes a moment to buffer and then plays just as expected! It's pretty effecient with data usage, so I use this app often at work.

Please make your online players compatible with Chromecast so I don't have to share my whole phone screen to broadcast this over my home theater station.

Used to work. But not anymore. I have uninstalled it reinstalled it upgrade my software a no go

The addition of local news stories is nice. But it still crashes like the old App.

Jas. T. Jul 29, 2015     

...no "The Beginning of the End" episodes in that section of the podcast menu. What gives?

Jon. Sep 21, 2015     

Love the variety!

(TIP: Search for "WDET" and install the other app that comes up- works great!) I installed this, started it for the first time, and it crashed before even loading. Tried to open it eight more times, and it crashed without opening every single time. Uninstalled, with a single tear rolling down my cheek. Their "Tech Upgrade" seems to have gone about as well as Michigan road repairs.

I love WDET. However, this app needs some work in terms of its (in my opinion) most important function, streaming radio (please fix) 1) I have an HTC desire 510 (a bad, cheapo "high powered" phone). This app's streaming glitches when moving between 4G LTE and a saved Wifi network, or visa versa. 2) There is often one wireless network that is broadcast on many routers in different places. Moving between the same network but different routers (by just walking in a large university building) results in a strange glitch, where the app starts to buffer forever. When you stop and restart the streaming, sometimes you get two unsynchronized streaming. You press stop then, and the app still plays, but shows "press play to stream" (paraphrased). 3) When turning off the wifi to manually switch to 4G, the transition isn't seamless. The app should know that you are switching, and buffer accordingly. 4)When I use a different app while streaming, WDET stops. Including e-mail and google hangouts. I don't like this.

My phone is only 6 months and completely but to date, but this app won't run at all.

Mic. F. Apr 11, 2015     

What happened to the app? It used to be GREAT, but it continually crashes when I try to open it. I really wanted to use it to make a sustaining pledge, but it so 't open.

Jos. C. May 4, 2015     

Crashes on startup, every time

Mic. B. Apr 21, 2015     

App never works, just get message "unfortunately, wdet has stopped. " Samsung Galaxy Note 4 w/ lollipop.

Lau. S. Apr 8, 2015     

Crashes CONSTANTLY. Rarely even opens...

Tim. M. May 5, 2015     

Will not open at all

The hype preceding this update led me to expect much more. Many of the functions direct me to the website, which is not optimized for mobile and difficult to read on a small screen.
