No new on demamd segments have not been downloaded for me since Friday.  Anyone else having issues?  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling again but still.the same issue.  This has happened in the past, just checking to see if that's the case for others.

 

87 my good friend, YE OLE has also had this issue. If you open their website in your browser their on demand is loaded and up to date. You can also click on the iTunes/Google Play link and they will download to your podcast app. This seems to be working and up to date as well.

Open the Radio.com app and click on WGR then click on an article and scroll down and you'll see the little radio player with On Demand..

This works through the app, thanks for the heads up.

I have another strange issue with this. I don't use radio.com but rather their website. The on demand stuff works fine while my mobile screen is on, but once it auto turns off, the audio starts cracking until I turn the screen on again and go to their site.

 

Any idea how to fix this?

thank you kind sir, much easier on the phone than going to the main site! 

 

They had this issue a few months ago, only took a day to fix.

 

Like the app overall, but sometimes it can take forever to GR to load, and then for the on demand segments  to load as ell

They literally could just start over and whatever the new V1 is would be better than what they have today. It's like almost 2020, mobile apps have been around...It's not that hard.

 

My favorite thing is you can download episodes, but if you are offline - like on a PLANE - the app will rarely get past the home screen. So great feature idea that doesn't work in the most basic use case!

key is is to make sure you are in airplane mode! If wifi or cellular is turned on , i think the app continually looks for a connection. But turn it to airplane, go hit the little subscriptions icon at the bottom, and downloaded episodes should pop right up , they do for me

The app is garbage, the company (radio.com/entercom) is garbage.

This is probably not an app issue. More a human or device error. I'm willing to bet no one at 500 Corporate Dr. has any control over what the app does 

 

Not at WGR, no. But the folks at Entercom 2400 Market Street sure do

I have had nothing but issues with radio.com app since having to switch over.  Constant drop outs with full service and on WiFi in my home.  I don’t remember the WGR app being this bad.  

 

Not to mention it takes an eternity to load sometimes, or just freezes.

Also, if you listen to the On Demand segments, they often skip back 2 minutes and replay conversations that you've already heard. App also cannot be used out of the country without a VPN being employed. Terrible app and I know that it has cost them hours of my listening time.

I did notice the skipping back too the other day.  Just a terrible app

Pretty sure you're never able to listen to the games live online, NFL charges for that.

 

I have been able to listen to every other game I did not watch this year except this one. Each week it has gotten worse and worse with previous week taking 15 minutes to connect.

You were able to listen when you did not try to use a radio made of bones and rocks.
