Comments on Classical Music Radio WQXR for Android

★★★★★ Theda Orsi · Dec 1, 2020
I was an avid listener to WQXR until it changed frequencies from 96.3 FM to 105.9 FM. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to obtain a clear listening experience at 105.9, so I gave up listening to this beloved station and missed it terribly. When the WQXR app came along I was overjoyed! It is THE best source for classical music, standards, and holiday music. It has been a great source of solice during this unprecedented year that is 2020. Thank you WQXR for this exceptional app.
★★★★☆ Bill Poutre · Dec 21, 2020
I enjoy the app and it works really well. But I can't get the Holiday Standards streaming channel on Android. And sometimes I need less Bach and more Bublé, less Puccini and more Pupping, less Schubert and more Sinatra.
★★★★★ Stephen Vega · Jun 13, 2022
If you're an audio file then you need this station. Learn the best classical music to collect and listen to from the world's oldest collection and largest library of music.
★☆☆☆☆ Greg Winter · Sep 21, 2025
Just like some of the other reviewers on this forum, I am rating this one star simply because the app is not supported on my new Google Pixel 9a. It was working fine on my Pixel 6. I have been a dedicated WQXR listener and donor for nearly 40 years. It also worked on my Samsung Galaxy for many years. I see something on the Google Play Store that the app is Android version 4.0+. My Pixel 9 is Android version 16. I also see something about the WQXR app is only 32 bit and new Android is 64.
★☆☆☆☆ TR · Sep 28, 2025
"This app not compatible with your device." Mind you, this is a Galaxy S24 Plus. What gives, WQXR?
★★☆☆☆ John I · Sep 3, 2024
It works... but really should be updated. The interface and connection are clunky and outdated. There's nothing smooth about it. If it were classical music it would be like a poorly tuned AM station. Get with it wqxr. You're always asking for donations. Couldn't a pittance of that be used to tune up this app?
