WOWO News

Kayla Blakeslee deserves better. I enjoy her delivery of the morning news but this app has so many issues.

Randomly stops playing. Force close it, restart and eventually repeat. When it does work, I like the app but often get annoyed and just switch to Sirius.

I’ve been a lifelong WOWO audience member; but knowing what I know from my glitch-plagued experience using the app, I’d never buy ads on WOWO for my three businesses. The app frequently plays multiple out-of-sync streams of the WOWO broadcast, frequently stops and requires restart for no apparent reason, and plays ads during content streaming in addition to the expected ads during actual commercial breaks. No such problems with ANY of the other radio station and other media audio streaming apps.

It's so annoying to have to hear the same commercial EVERY time there is a momentary lapse in using the app. The Big Stick has a tiny, irritating little app. Too bad.

The purpose of an app is to perform the function it was assigned. All this app has to do is play WOWO and yet it will randomly stop playing. This requires the user to sporadically press the play button again over and over. You’ve got one job. Play the station. Fix this.

Listening to WOWO on my phone has been problematic for sometime now. I’ve listened to WOWO for more than 50 years, Bob Chase, Little Red Barn, etc. I was listening in Canada and Florida before there were cell phones. Today I can’t even get the app to open. I’m witnessing the death of the 50,000 watt blowtorch of the Midwest. Hey WOWO, and advertisers, I’m going to find something else to listen to now. Sad!

This app has never worked well on my phone. By God, it’s able to play the advertisement they want you to listen to but then does not stream the live feed.

This app has gone from bad to worse. The app stoops playing constantly. When you downsize the app or open another app it stops playing. This use to be the 50,000 watts station and now you can’t hear the FM or AM 5 miles out of town and the app is unreliable. I want to listen to your radio station. Why is it so hard?

Title says it all. No longer can I find a convenient way to get my local Fort Wayne news. Time to uninstall this app

Since an update or 2 ago the audio stream plays automatically when you open the app. It can be embarrassingly annoying to have audio play when you really only just wanted to discreetly check the news headlines. Update: The 3.0 upgrade completely removed news and headlines from the app and now it is only about the audio stream. Removing about 1/2 of the usefulness of the app. Before I would use the app to read the headlines and would sometimes listen to the stream. If you want to read WOWO news you have to use the web site and it is far from mobile friendly. The result is I will get much less of my news from WOWO now and will have to find another source to supplement what I would want to follow for unbiased reporting and local news when I don’t want audio but would rather read the news. Also the audio stream auto starts. This still bothers me and I would prefer this to be an option… but I guess it’s a bit less of an issue if the app is only useful for listening to the audio stream now.
