## Review summary

Users praise KEXP’s music quality, diverse genres, and archival access, plus real-time playlist features and handy extras. However, the app struggles with stability, intrusive ads, flaky archive playback, and UI/UX limitations (notably iPad landscape support and icon visibility). Some users also report losing saved favorites after upgrades. Overall, the content is excellent, but stability and user experience improvements are needed to match the station’s quality.

### Pros

- Excellent music selection with great DJs across multiple genres.
- Archive access to past shows (including multi-week availability).
- Real-time playlist access and live track listings (with song links).
- Helpful features like emailing the DJ and Apple Music integration.

### Cons

- Playback instability: streams frequently stop or pause when the app is backgrounded, the screen is off, or the user exits the app.
- Ad interruptions: mid-song ads and promos interrupt playback.
- Archive playback issues and timing inaccuracies: jump-to-time bugs and wrong track playback.
- UI/UX issues: the newer app feels clunky and less intuitive, with missing landscape support on iPad and hidden icons.
- Saved favorites/history can be lost after app upgrade.
