As everyone says, it crashes after about 5 minutes. Do you have any ideas?

App is still trash. It crashes on the stream for the live and podcasts. It takes two tries to open. It often cuts in and out. Uninstall and reinstall, still happens. New streaming comany made it worst than before.

This app constantly crashes on my android phone, I cannot figure out why?? I love listening to WGN but it's really annoying.

App crashes constantly especially when not on Wi-Fi. Very annoying when it returns most times it starts over with the same commercials. Seems to always cut out when there's something interesting on. Also when receiving a phone call I've had the app start back up after answering the phone so in your ear you hear WGN when you're trying to hear your caller. This app really needs a workover. If it was intended to crash then it works great.

Love to listen to WGN but this app keeps cutting out. Other reviewers have expressed the same complaint. Please fix this! Six years later and this app Still cuts out, plays same segment over and over. Cuts into a commercial right in the middle of a segment. Seriously, how is this still a problem???

Everytime you turn in the app or it buffers, it plays 45 seconds of pre reordered ads. Piss off with ads play hawks

Extremely annoying advertising. Any time I touch the phone instead of going to where it was left off on return goes right to ADS. Walking all over program in progress. It's unacceptable. Just for that uninstalled. Seems to me WGN it's more interested in keeping ads than listeners. Good-bye.

Good for in the house but restarts every few steps when on a walk. Only good for when using wifi.

Crashes constantly which stinks because I enjoy listening throughout the day. Not sure why other apps do so well and this one doesn't.
