Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Simple and top notch

    By JulianProduces (Pcmac user)

    Easy to use!
  • CarPlay compatible.

    By Sam Amenta (Pcmac user)

    How awesome is it to see the this app app show up as I scrolled through my carplay apps today. Hopefully wxpn and WRTI will follow soon.
  • APP is Dysfunctional

    By CJK3001 (Pcmac user)

    I should have read the signs before downloading this app. A few reviews stated the same or similar issues of dysfunction. They were also posted reviews from at least 1 or 2 years ago, too. The issue for me is having news feeds appear, disappear, then reappear, just to disappear again, just to reappear, and on and on. I am deleting this app. this app is a great station, with excellent staff. It is perplexing to experience their app being antithetical to their actual local station.
  • Smooth & Fast

    By Runner5 + Pet (Pcmac user)

    For quick live listening this app is the best! I love that my station is just two taps away! One to open the app one to press play! I have not had the issue others had with the audio stopping. This app is a great escape from the tap trap other apps will get you sucked into.
