While I used the old app daily, it did have some functionality issues. The complete redesign a week ago not only fixed the need to quit and relaunch the app in order to not have the “pause stutter bug”, but it introduced a much longed for feature: playlists for archived shows! This was an amazing addition to the app, but nothing is perfect and the new app lost the ability to favorite your shows, and to resume an archived show you were listening to. I submitted this feedback to the station and lo and behold, one week later BOTH of these were added to the app. WMSE is not only a fantastic radio station, they clearly listen to, and care about what their supporters ask for. Thank you! I ❤️ WMSE!!
