Mr.F1x1t,
UX issues on the XS Max
The app functions fine, however it doesn’t fit my screen correctly and the upper section covers my clock and my network & battery icons at the top. I can’t use the hamburger menu, search or back arrows.
As I started writing this I began to wonder if my font size settings might be affecting the UX, but if the app is following the disability developer settings and separating the top UX from the rest of the compliant parts it shouldn’t be an issue. Either way it’s something that needs to be fixed.

Nerk Twin,
All commercials all the time
Around the DC metro area this radio station is jokingly known as the “all commercial, occasional content all the time”. They stick a commercial in every nook and cranny - And the same lame low end commercials over and over again. The commercials are mostly for overpriced roofers, window installers, plumbers and “clinics” for erectile disfunction or any other disease, or fake disease a hypochondriac could imagine. Basically, if you hear a commercial on this station (and that’s mostly what you’ll hear) you want to avoid that company like the plague. I have had this app for a few years and throughout the day I would check in at the top of the hour for news updates or for weather updates or until the commercials drove me away. But the recent version of the app started sticking in a commercial every time you start or pause the app. That’s a new low and the last straw for me. It’s ridiculous to force feed so many commercials, especially at a time when people are fleeing commercial driven media for on-demand services. I know the station is owned by some greedy media conglomerate that couldn’t care less about quality, but the listening experience on this app (and station) has become intolerable. Unless you love endless bad commercials from lame companies, don’t waste you time with WTOP.

Unwarranted Notification Spam
The overhauled WTOP app seems to run much smoother as far as reading news is concerned, however listening to the audio stream doesn't work half the time, and then there are the notifications! As soon as the overhauled version released, now the app sends multiple political notifications throughout the day, every day, and there is no way to adjust or disable this outside of blocking the app from notifications in iOS! Thr only setting available in Settings is your weather location... this app seems half baked. The web News side has been fixed, but everything else is really poor.
Anonymous120516,
Tapping on notification doesn’t take you to that article
Overall the app is okay. One thing that definitely needs to be addressed is the link between the notification pop up and the actual article. When a WTOP notification pops up and I click on it, it will open the app but it has never taken me to that actual news or article. I have to manually search for it from there - very frustrating.
PGene45,
Unstable app
I was born in DC and grew up listening to the station. I cannot successfully stream for more than 5-10 minutes. It just stops. It also does not pay attention to the other lPhone sound controls - like PLDespite your latest update it still fails in the exact same way and I still have to reboot the phone. Please fix this.
I have complained to you for years about your app going completely non-functional. Despite multiple updates to your latest version it has not changed. New iPhone. New IOS. New download of all apps. There’s not a lot for me to do except just completely forgetting you guys exist. So much for big stations and big money.

BorgBoi in VA,
Streaming audio Inconsistent
I agree with the other reviewer, that the app does not allow streaming audio 50% of the time-even if you’re outside with good reception.
I haven’t been hit with a blitz of ads yet.
When the streaming audio does work, you can hear the news anchors repeatedly give out the wrong time (sometimes hours off) it makes you think they have a problem reading a clock. I also noticed the news anchors give a teaser storyline, cut to a commercial and completely forget the teaser story that they tempted you to stay tuned for.
Wished WTOP app developers read these reviews and implemented fixes-and someone should buy the newsroom a large digital clock!

andrewalba,
New version working great!
Looks like app has been fixed for those of us who use 24 hour time format. Uninstalled old version and installed latest version and all is working perfect. Have had no issues with audio dropping as previous reviewer (but then again I have fantastic LTE coverage) and I am really digging all the stuff packed into this app!
Supa Ordie,
Ok WTOP.......
Adjustments based on our feedback? What adjustments? The app still crashes when activated. You guys need to get this together soon, we all are missing our news!
***Edit; update has been installed but it goes to a white screen then to a blue one with a infinite load icon. Still not working, please fix!***
EDIT; Julie everything is good now, the app is working as it should. Thanks for the help!

Get with the digital age
When is the WTOP app going to catch up with the digital world? The iPad app still does not allow being read in landscape mode. I either have to turn my head sideways or Take my device out of its holder and physically turn it.I did specifically download the WTOP app for iPad and I checked that is not locked in one position. Since the app description says it updates it every day I expect this flaw to be corrected by tomorrow, ha ha.

New update crashes on launch constantly
New update crashes on launch on iPhone 7...this needs to be fixed ASAP.
Update - the new release did indeed fix the launch crashing. Now that it actually launches, the new app looks great!
