WTOP Customer Insights

1. Also, going 'back' after reading an article takes you back the main search page instead of continuing your selected filter search, filters are lost and have to start over each time.

2. Having the app allows me to get more information anytime or catch an article I missed.Great source of local, state and national news.

3. My only ding on the app is that some stories open in a browser for some reason.Every time I try to do a search, I get the following message: Unfortunately, WTOP has stopped.

4. I can't open the app because the Facebook login page automatically pops up and when I go to click comfirm or try to X out the pop-up, it just keeps popping back up with the facenlbook login page.

5. If I decide to close and reopen the app myself to re-enter code, it logs me out, so I have to log in again.... only to see that the code had been accepted the first time.Look at my review for the Good Podcasts App.

6. Please fix.This is my favorite radio station for news, weather, and traffic.

7. And, yes, I have the latest version.Unable to click on link because it says the app is not intended for use within the European Economic Area.

8. It's just a boot cycle loopProvides local and national news.

9. Great source for traffic and weather.

10. Gives me news alerts for counties when EVERY button is unchecked for every county.

11. Deleting the app and will stick with the radio.Listen Live works just fine.
