User Reviews

Users love KZSC Radio for easy, on-the-go listening, playlist/track info, and background audio. The app’s layout is praised and updates have improved reliability. Recurrent issues include missing playback controls (no off button), streams failing on newer iOS versions, and occasional crashes/quit problems. There are longstanding requests for an iPad interface and broader feature improvements (e.g., a DJ line link). Overall, fans value the app but want modernization and stability enhancements to keep up with current iOS and usage expectations.
Pros
  • Allows live streaming of KZSC on the go.
  • Playlist, track/show info, and a second stream enhance the listening experience.
  • Clean layout and easy-to-use interface.
  • Background audio support enabling listening while using other apps.
Cons
  • No off button / lack of basic playback controls.
  • Streams broken or not working on newer iOS versions / outdated compatibility.
  • Crashes or quit/exit problems requiring reboot.
  • Requests for an iPad interface and improved mobile features (e.g., enhanced UI)

On my 6S Plus, there are no on or off buttons and tapping the home button twice, as one reviewer suggested, doesn’t work. Nice layout. Too bad about the lack of controls.
