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 love the new map feature! I’ve bookmarked so many things. Also, the DJ playlists are great while I’m stuck in traffic getting to all these restaurants and events! 😅

Current version doesn't remember where you left off. It was fixed in a previous version but reverted. A minor annoyance when pausing a show for a few minutes and having to fast forward every single time.
