WUFT Public Media App

This latest redesign is a vast improvement over the last version, and I like all of the options and UI continuity with the desktop player. However, some strange issues have been happening with buffering and playback. Sometimes the audio will skip ahead by 1/2-2 seconds, or skip back 1-5 seconds and then attempt to "catch up" by skipping ahead a little bit at a time. This doesn't happen too often (anywhere between 2-20 minutes in between), but when it does, it obviously makes it very difficult to follow along with what's being said. Other than that, an excellent improvement!

I'm happy that an app for WUFT, news and information, is again available. But the playing only lasts about twenty minutes before it breaks up. The same thing happens when I listen with an Echo so its not an app problem. I listen to four NPR stations and WUFT is the only one that does not stream well.

Because I live in the Villages I can't get this station over the air so I'm dependent on this app which hadn't worked for much to long. I haven't heard the skipping that another reviewer mentioned but I had that problem with Tunein and other apps so it might be unavoidable.

I was an early user of the old app and this one is far better. Easy to navigate between stations, keeping me informed and entertained when I’m traveling.

I am an avid NPR listener beginning in college in the 80s. I have lived and listened in a dozen different cities. This station has the boring and weird local newscasts and inexperienced student newscasters. The transmission suffers from stuttering which misses seconds of contents here. Lately, the app has been dead silent or drops connections. I listen primarily for the weather and 6PM Newshour. I often switch to WMFE.
