Very good I'm listening to it right now and it is clear every word clear if you have good connection.

I was a loyal WGN listener for more than 30 years until I moved to FL a few years ago. I was thrilled when I found this app to once again listen to WGN, the problem is the iPhone version crashes every few minutes. The iPad app works great but please fix the iPhone app.

The clarity is great and the delay is almost non-existent, but it will drop from time-to-time even if there is no change in reception or network strength (1st big thing) and the other big thing is that it drops when your phone goes to sleep. That needs to be fixed because if your driving you can't always be looking down to check if your phone is about to go to sleep. And then it takes a good 30-40 seconds to come back up after it drops. It's very frustrating, especially when you're trying to listen to a hockey game. Everything else about it is great, but those two things need to be addressed.

For some reason I cannot view Videos. Screen goes black ?? Audio is fine. What gives. Still unable to view videos, send me some help. Aug 12 What's happening News screen is blank!! Aug 20th What have u done to this app?? I cannot find anything. News button had nothing on it. If. It ain't broke don't fix it Dec 26th This app stops the audio for radio programs. I have to reboot often if I want to listen. What gives?? It's annoying Today unable to listen to radio, it will not connect. Boy this App is really "great" This app is a joke. Cannot listen to radio again today. Pls fix Do u really think it is smart to expect us to listen/view constant commercials?? Very annoying

Fix it! It will be working fine and then just cuts out and says buffering audio and takes a long time to catch up. I've tried on 4g and multiple wifi networks that work perfectly for other apps and devices. I need to listen to my hawks!

Crap crap crap. Force closes constantly. Just gives up if even slight signal reduction. Would give -1000 stars if I could. Don't waste your data. Worst app in the App Store.

Never had a Problem yet 👍🙏

Chicago. blackhaws

I downloaded the app to listen to Blackhawks games. It worked once.

Sometimes it works, sometimes, not so much. So irritating. Why the inconsistency?

Never used to do this. Lately is constantly re-buffering. Deleted and reinstalled: giving it one more chance...

The sole reason I downloaded this app was to listen to the hawks games when I wasn't able to watch the games. The one time I (try to) listen to the game, it would play until there was a break, then it wouldn't return to the game after the break was over. Same thing goes for intermissions. If you don't restart the feed, you will just get silence until you restart the feed. However, the quality of the sound was very good and clear. There was also not a easy access point to the stream of the game. It took me a while to find it. Overall, I'm very disappointed in this app.

Basically got this app to listen to the Blackhawks game when I don't get them on tv!

iPad has been out for how long now???? Update this app please!!!!!

It's not WGN's fault that you cannot listen to the Cubs through this app. MLB broadcasting rules dictate that you cannot. Stop negative reviews!

WOW, where's my audio ? :( WGN used 2b one of my very fav apps. But I have the blues w/out hearing it:( And becoming very home sick!! I'm on my IPod 4th gen. It works like a gem, so prob not on my end. Please fix ur end (no pun intended lol) TY WGN

Where are the Cubs????? Seriously...they are the best sow on wgn radio.....sorry JohnnyB....like ya, but come on! Verrrrrrrrrry disappointed! Good thing it's free.

As much as it pains me to talk bad about 720 wgn, what is the point of this app if you can't listen to sports broadcasts?

This WGN App works fine. Who would want to listen to the Cubs this year anyway? (Comment comes from a life long Cubs Fan of 42 years). The app works great for all of the Blackhawks games, WGN programing and News. I recently dumped my satellite subscription, due to the price increase, which subscribers were lied to about.

The audio runs smoothly for awhile, then goes silent while it buffers. After a few minutes of buffering it starts playing again. Why does it randomly buffer when my location hasn't changed? It gets frustrating and annoying. Also, a sleep function in the app would be nice.

First of all, they don't broadcast Cubs games on here because of contract agreements with major league baseball. It's major-league baseball's "fault", not WGN. Second, all I want to do is listen to the shows on my phone. If you're going to be an idiot and give it a bad rating because you don't like the host, that's your problem. If you don't like hosts, then don't download the app. Better yet, don't listen to the station anymore. It does what it's supposed to do, and that's it. Nothing special. It's free. Quit your complaining.

The app works fine. The point of reviewing an app is it's performance. It lets you hear the radio broadcast and Blackhawks games. You can't hear cubs games because of MLB contract agreements, not because the app doesn't work. Blame MLB greed and stop misleading others.

This poorly-written app locked up on its first use, necessitating a hard reboot on my iPad. Maybe the guy who wrote the app is the same genius who is managing the Cubs. The inability to use the app to listen to Cubs games is another strike against it. I lived in the Chicago area most of the time between 1959 and 2010 - had great hopes for this app - to no avail. See 'ya.

Every other audio ap I have stops when the phone rings, but not this one. And you can't turn it off or lower the volume before taking the call, so for the first seconds of the call, you and your caller can't speak over the broadcast, until you go through minimizing the call, pulling up the ap, and stopping. The volume control on the side of my phone only affected the call, not the radio, so no quick lowering of the volume. Worse still, if you have an alarm set on ap that came with the iPhone, it doesn't ring through, defeating the purpose of the alarm. Idk if it does this with other ap alarms. Unfortunately, with 4 kids' schedules to keep track of, it's a deal breaker. I can't use the ap.

Very disappointed that I am unable to listen to the 720 broadcasts of the Cubs games.

Aside from an ugly cluttered look, frequent crashes and a moronic morning host (McConnell), the WGN app is just fine. No less flat-footed as their station.

I have had no problems with this app. It worked great for the Blackhawks playoff games . I was using wifi.

Why does app stop streaming live radio when I text or open another app. Should stream simultaneously like the other one did, or does it and I am doing something wrong?

They don't broadcast the cubs game coverage.

Much easier to use, but my podcasts turn off when my phone "sleeps", not sure why.

This is a very solid app compared to the old one. It's snappy and features quick access to the latest news. The traffic feature is fast and effective. Streaming starts much faster and seems more reliable than the app this replaces. Suggestions: • The white text is a bit tough to read on the colorful blue background. Improve the contrast. • Headlines disappear too fast. Perhaps double the number per category. The Blackhawks game recap should not have dropped off just a few hours after the game ended. • Provide traffic times in the traffic feature. Traffic speed at each ramp doesn't help me figure out how long my trip will be. All said, nicely done!
