Bills fan since 87 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 We all know how bad this app has been so I wont get into that. Just a quick question. Neither the morning show or after noon show segments have downloaded into the app since yesterday afternoon. Anyone else having the same issue? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed they are putting on-demand audio up later and later, to force you to listen in real time (with all the commercials.) Before they put each hour up with a few minutes. You could listen without commercials. I guess they wised up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansLanda Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I have been using mobile site and haven't looked back. Not nearly the load lags as the OP mentioned and it works just fine. App provides zero value unless you want to download a bunch of episodes before not having a connection - on a plane or alike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean mobile site? In using the radio.com mobile app. WGR did away with their mobile app/site for on demand. Wait, I see through the app there is a link to wgr550.com and you can get on demand there, and its up to date. Before I had just scrolled to the individual shows in the blocks above and would get the on demand from there. Thise still are not updated but now I see there is another way. Thanks.

Steptide Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I guess I'm in the minority here, but I haven't had an issue with the radio app. Occasionally I'll get an add that plays over and over and over, but I just restart it and it's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old one worked just fine. loved the old wgr app. my phone is not compatible with the radio.com app. and doing the mobile wgr site through radio.com is buggy as hell and bogs down my phone. freezes often, and is just a general pain in the butt. maybe my phone is ancient. maybe i have a bit too much "get off my lawn" guy in me. but i absolutely hate it, and listen to a lot less wgr because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don’t really have many technical issues like many of you are describing. I did notice that the On-Demand shows do seem to go up a few hours after the actual broadcast, as opposed to an hour or so afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For work my job is monitoring alerts from various services and one vendor has made changes which generate security errors on regular basis. For weeks we need to annotate errors multiple times a day with comment "Known issue. Vendor is aware of issue and will correct it but is in no hurry to do it." Finally got government watch officer involved and he said just shut down monitors until they communicate they corrected it despite possibility of unrelated errors could occurring. When they do take reliability seriously why bother wasting OUR time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
