Wors great! Two streams, one with current in depth coverage and another with fantastic classical music
Horrible. Constant crashes, has not functioned for weeks. I think you could do better.
Sometimes app doesn't stream when play is pressed. Often for a whole day.
Great app. I use it frequently driving home as radio signal goes away near my house in Lecompte.
Excellent state &local news coverage as well as NPR. JIM ENGSTER, FRESH AIR, TED and others.
Good functionality. Great, quality reporting.
Drops out about 100 times a day. Very annoying.
Easy to use and find the programs you want to hear.
Works much better than the "TuneIn Radio" app
Lot of buffering lot of stalling lot of re-starting
Easy to use. Don't have to search all of NPR, just go here.
Great app for listening to my local public radio station
NPR radio and podcasts available with a minimum amount of effort
Allows me to stay abreast of develpments in the world and locally without being tethered to my radio.
great app!!! great org!!!! two thumbs up, 5 stars, 10 out of 10
I love my local NPR, so glad they have an app.
Plays for 5 minutes then stops
Terrific for current newd!
App always turns off at random.
Update: still love wrkf. App is still glitch, although less so.
The best app to stay in touch with both national and local news.
Great NPR News and programming with a Louisiana bent
Great app keeps me informed of local information
Amy Goodman is a real journalist repiorting real news. She is the only good feature with this NPR app. Outside of Amy Goodman, this app is wack. WRKF & NPR is state sponsored nonsense.
Works pretty well though there are some issues when switching from Wi-Fi to 4g. Sometimes it freezes and crashes, other times playback stops. All in all much better than my initial experience with an older version of the regular NPR app.
It would be great if it did not cut off after a bit. Thought this would be a great alternative but app does not continue playing when you lock the screen like most music/podcast apps do.
Not the prettiest app to navigate, but it does the job well.
I am very pleased with this WRKF app because at long last there is the (mostly)all talk HD1 as well as the 24 hour all classical music HD2. This is a long needed service and historically Classical music has been the heart and soul of Public Radio. In terms of donations and memberships, classical music was the the raison d'etre for public radio since the beginning. Ignore this part of your listening community at your fiscal peril.
