User Reviews

Users praise mobile access to KXLU and the station's quality, noting updates improved usability and that the app lets listeners enjoy content anywhere, even while multitasking. However, reviews consistently mention stability issues, a non-intuitive UI with confusing playback controls, and missing features like real-time song info and playlists. Overall, the app is valued but needs reliability and feature improvements.
Pros
  • Mobile access to KXLU lets you listen anywhere (home, car, travel).
  • Recent updates have made the app more user-friendly and interactive.
  • Excellent station content with good sound quality on the app.
  • Allows multitasking and background listening, so you can use other apps while streaming.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and stability issues (app quitting and stopping).
  • Non-intuitive playback controls and UI, with hard-to-find play/pause controls.
  • Lack of visible song information and live playlist/setlists; missing scheduling/notifications.

The new changes have made it a lot more user friendly, hoping to keep using this as my main source of streaming

Love this station and use the app a lot. But… too much button pressing. When you first open you are presented with some choice which is great but prob most ppl just want to listen. To listen you press bottom left then to start the stream you press center left and the play/pause button jumps back down to bottom left. If you pause it, the play button then goes hiding out of sight and to get it to start playing again you have to press once where the button is hiding for it to show itself and again to resume playing. Suggestion: when you open the app just have one big button for play/pause in the middle of the screen. So you open the app and just press one obvious button to have you off and running. You can put all the other choices around the edges of the screen. The other thing is the app almost never recovers when my phone switches signal strength like flipping from 5G to LTE and back I will usually have to open the phone and hit play/pause a couple times. The problem is persistent because I’m mostly using the app when I’m riding or driving so yer gonna be pinging different towers. This problem has me using third party apps to listen but they have their own issues. Anyway keep up the good work, listening to you guys on a dedicated app is def what I prefer. iPhone 15 plus running 17.1.1

I leave this on all day long, but lately the app constantly quits. Have to restart ever half hour or so. Difficult to stream station via browser as well. Both vehicles seem “buggy”. Time for an update? (iOS 16.1.1)
