User Reviews and Ratings
★★☆☆☆Unless streaming their live feed, this app is useless
I just came in from my car. It is September 20th. There is a story on the air about beaches reopening because they were closed due to medical waste washing ashore earlier in the week.
I go to the app and search ‘beaches’ and ‘beach’. There is no link to this story. No articles come up that are less than a few years old. So I then search ‘medical waste’ I get stories from earlier in the week from 2 days ago, but not the one currently on the air.
This app is ALWAYS like this. You can never find
★★★★★New app is great!
Just downloaded the new version and it’s great. Really like the design and how they’ve made it easy to listen to the radio. I’m always listening from home in the morning. Love the new features too.
★★★★★Landscape viewing… Finally!
Took a long time!
★★★★★Visually improved
New app (v3.0.0) has nice visual design, although seems to load a little slower. The back button (return to story index) unfortunately doesn't scroll down with the story text, but swiping right on the whole page also activates the back function. Videos cannot be played in landscape mode (tested native videos and embedded Twitter); rotating just returns to story headline. Overall, happy to see this being maintained; WTOP is a great local news source.
★★★☆☆Hourly News Update??
It’s harder than ever to find the Hourly News Update with the National and local news. That was my favorite feature, I don’t always want to listen to live radio. Without that feature I doubt I’ll use the app at all.
