Happy to see the new app seems smoother! Thanks for also making it properly display in landscape mode on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ with the keyboard attached. Keep up the good work!

11-5-26 App will not open. All the years that KCRW has had an app, it has always done the exact same thing. It simply stops playing, after a few minutes. This has happened with all permutations of the app. I have had different cell phones, over the years, and the same issue has recurred. It happens when listening on my cell phone, connected to WiFi. There is nothing wrong with my WiFi. None of my other music/radio apps do what the KCRW app does. The KCRW app, today, keeps stopping.

pretty buggy. often times can't seem to connect to listen or even access my membership/donor card. new app is awful. I'm a donor; app shows in logged into my account in the settings but when I try to access membership card and donations history, it gives me a log in screen. when I click I already have a account, nothing happens. but beyond that, app is super super slow. I have other npr station apps like mpr, cpr, kexp... all work better. kcrw app seems to suck even more if you're logged in

love the station the app is terrible. have to reinstall every other time I try to open it and lots of glitches.
I love KCRW but the app is pretty terrible, it doesn't remember your sign in, even within a session. Having to sign in every single time you open an app is annoying but requiring it multiple times within a single minute or within the same session is ridiculous. I look forward to updating my review once this is resolved.
my Mom always listens on regular radio and she loves the station. I now have been exposed to great underground music.

doesn't load. need a new app developer.
Update: issue has been fixed! I love love LOVE KCRW and have been a monthly member since 2017. The app usually works fine for basic listening, but I have recently had problems signing in via the app, which previously worked without issues. After logging into my KCRW app account, the app seems to forget I'm logged in the moment I try to enter a giveaway and asks me to sign in again. Same thing when I try to use any member features. The "Report an issue" feature does not work either.

If you can make the app save your spot on a stream between listening sessions, I'll give it 5 stars
app keeps shutting off. reinstalling again. I miss listening seamlessly. love the station. hands down the best station on the planet. this app is useless.

“But my goodness this app will just constantly reconnect even when I'm at home in WiFi, which triggers a pause and commercial.”

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
