Since its retooling at the start of 2023, WRR became among the best curated classical music broadcasters anywhere with heavy emphasis on the “broad.” It’s been decades since I’ve heard a classical music radio station play choral music, opera arias or early music as part of its regular programming, and this is now a station where you might hear “The Rite of Spring” at 9 am on a weekday morning or is just as likely to air “Also Sprach Zarathustra” at 10 am as 10 pm. The range of composers, compositions, genres and eras is vast, and the on-air broadcast staff is serious and knowledgeable. So it’s useful and important to have a reliable app for listeners outside the DFW area who will want to take advantage of the experience. This new app is more reliable than the old one. I haven’t tried the alarm/sleep function yet, but it’s a nice-to-have.

A seamless quick connection without having to go through a browser. It is reasonably buffered: I can now walk between buildings on campus between WiFi nodes without losing the program. I also enjoy using the app to listen to my other favorite station KERA. Well done!

My app quit working….kept telling me I didn’t have an internet connection (not true)….I just pulled it up under a web view. Last week I decided to try again (after already doing this several times over several weeks) to uninstall/reinstall and lo and behold, there is a new app. Would have been GREAT to know on the OLD app….hey, we’re moving to a new app. That said, your station has gotten my hubby to listen to classical music (very big deal) so you guys are doing lets well.
