User Reviews

The reviews largely condemn the recent redesign of the KCRW app. They describe a confusing, slow, and less usable interface with missing/hidden features, poor navigation, and persistent bugs (badges, loading issues, lag). Core streaming remains, but reliability and usability after the update are major concerns. A minority still notes easy basic use and live-stream access, but overall sentiment is dominated by frustration with the update and featureloss.

Pros

Core streaming functionality (live stream and podcasts) remains available in the app.
Background playback is supported for some users, allowing listening while using other apps.
Membership perks and giveaways are accessible within the app for users.

Cons

Major redesign/update leads to a confusing, clunky UI and a lack of familiar iOS conventions.
Key features are missing or difficult to use: inability to scrub to a specific position, cannot easily skip, lost track IDs/playlist info, and saved/favorites appear to be disappeared.
Bugs and reliability issues: persistent notification badge that won’t clear, sporadic loading failures (e.g., first page), and playback lag or glitches between clicks and actions.
Navigation is inconsistent and hard to use; content like shows and playlists are hard to locate, and landscape mode support on iPad is lacking in several reports.

Recent reviews

I have to agree. This app is nothing like the old app was. If I’m in the middle of listening to Henry and I have to leave or something I have to restart the whole show all over again and worse if I wanna skip ahead or skip back that functions gone. I’m gonna continue to listen and support and thank goodness we’re still on the radio because this app isn’t really very good it’s clunky, it doesn’t respond very well, it’s searching a lot of times, and I hope you guys find some time to fix it.

I want to love it but listening to an ad every time. Every damn time my timer goes off is ridiculous. There are ads in the program already, I would rather have a Silent pop up ad every time I reopen the app than missing out on the LIVE broadcast because my apps pause the show for 2 seconds.
