[2013-01-09] A Google User: WBEZ I had various problems with older version, but now new version works better on Android ICS RAZR, but does not even open on my Android JB Asus tablet?? |
|
[2013-01-08] A Google User: Much better Seems like they're aren't any reviews since the last update. Latest update works great and looks even better. Definitely recommend giving this one a chance if you gave up on the old one. |
|
[2012-12-16] A Google User: Disappointing I used to have this app 3 months ago but uninstalled because it would always stop and/or freeze my phone. I tried again today, same result. Please fix this. I love this station, but i will uninstall yet again because tech has come too far for a major albeit nfp organization to have such a poorly running app. |
|
[2012-11-08] A Google User: Buggy I tried listening to election night coverage with this on my Moto Triumph and it was a garbled mess. I went to BEZ's website on my phone's browser (all of this over 3G) and that stream played perfectly. Basically, this app only works if you are sitting very still next to a wifi hotspot. Maybe they should get the guy who made their website to re-do this app. |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Does not work on my new tablet It works OK (not great - it stops every 10 minutes or so) on my Android 2.2 phone, but does not work at all on my new Android 4.0 tablet. No sound, no nothing. Really, how difficult is it to create a reliable streaming app when the stream off the website work so well on a regular PC in a regular browser? |
|
[2012-10-10] A Google User: Big disappointment I can never get this app to shut down (Galaxy S3, Android ICS). When I force it, it reappears like "the thing that wouldn't leave," and it loads itself again. Unfortunately, this 20-year member will have to delete it & miss out in local coverage. Pity, because it wouldn't require a huge investment to fix it --you could probably even call the dean of computer science at U of I, Northwestern or IIT to recommend that a student team to fix it for class credit. |

[2012-09-18] A Google User: Good for streaming |
|
[2012-09-01] A Google User: Horrible app The app disappeared today. All I get is the contact page. |
|
[2012-08-25] A Google User: Disappointing I have the latest greatest phone, OS, and service provider. This app does not work smoothly, locks up, locks up other features of the phone, (Galaxy S III, Verizon, Android 4.0). Very disappointing, I depend on WBEZ daily to say the least. After fooling around long enough with this app you have missed too much programming and spent too much time from your schedule. Someone please mention a better radio streaming android app. |
|
[2012-08-19] A Google User: Force close Plays for a couple minutes and crashes. |
|
[2012-06-21] A Google User: Showing its age |
|
[2012-06-07] A Google User: Worst Update So Far I had been waiting for them to update this app for the longest time and now that they have I'm just going to uninstall it. You can't load the news stories in the app anymore. You now see a list of partial headlines which then launch your browser when you click on them. Why did you do that? |
|
[2012-06-03] A Google User: Nice Sometimes app freezes, but otherwise a cool app ( especially on a road trip) |
|
[2012-04-30] A Google User: Great app Works well on 3g |
|
[2012-04-23] A Google User: Crashes After Long-term use Approximately 30 minutes before crashes or in rare cases crashes the entire phone. |
|
[2012-03-31] A Google User: Wbez is the bedt |
|
[2012-03-29] A Google User: Would get 5 stars if it always worked Most the time, it works great. Sometimes, it just doesn't work at all. Who knows, though, maybe they forgot to turn the stream on at the station? |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: HTC Hero USCC lags on launch Audio unresponsive for about a minute, then works fine. Slideshow just cycles between 4 pics, not sure yet if those update daily. Ok app. |
|
[2012-03-22] A Google User: Crashed in first mimute when I was trying to shut it was lost on my htc incredible |
|
[2012-03-21] A Google User: I wished it worked better and wishes don't get donations. Please update this app. better stability, much better streaming. |
|
[2012-03-14] A Google User: Great Radio, Crappy App Love WBEZ but the app has an annoying lag relative to live stream and it shuts itself off after about half an hour to an hour. |
|
[2012-02-25] A Google User: Haters gon hate Stream works well, after an unbelievable delay, and quality is reasonable -- you really need Wait Wait at 256kbps? |
|

|
[2012-01-02] A Google User: Expect more of bez Really low quality stream. Often stops playing when I open other apps. Has trouble playing in the background. |
|
[2012-01-02] A Google User: Gsba Great radio station, horrible streaming app. I don't understand why this is so bad and the stream from the website is so good. |
|
[2011-12-16] A Google User: Low quality stream I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the choice to update to a lower quality stream. It's definitely noticeable in a negative way. |
