Enough already.

For the love of God, please make this app work in landscape mode (it’s annoying to always have to turn my iPad to use this app—I never use portrait mode)!

Give us landscape mode, and I’ll give five stars. It’s that simple.

Thank you.

We are sorry to hear you had this issue with the app in 2021. This year, we were able to release a new version of the app with many updates and fixes, including the one you described. We hope you can give it a try and let us know what you think! The app for iPad can definitely be used in landscape mode. Thank you for listening!

No on demand

Terrible app in general and on demand content is listed but missing. Also missing from their website.

We are sorry to hear you had this experience with the app in the past. This year we released a new version of the app with many updates and fixes. It has all 3 of our streaming channels available for free. We hope you will get a chance to check it out and let us know what you think!

Great station, horrible app

No ipad app, only portrait mode, little useless articles on main page, no easy view of current work playing, hasn't been updated in 3 years. I end up listening to KUSC on my ipad, only because they have a polished app. It's unfortunate, since the KING desktop site has a nice separate window with controls and the composer/work info prominently shown. Good app=more people listening at pledge drive time.

Privacy issue: King FM reads your clipboard

Beginning with iOS 14, I get an iOS popup ("King FM pasted from <app>") whenever King FM version 3.2.1 moves to the foreground, telling me that King FM is reading my clipboard. This is even though I have not tried to paste anything into it. Since King FM hasn't been updated in about 2 years, it has been doing this to all of us for at least that long, and silently before iOS 14 started telling us. I'm sure that we all copy and paste information that is no business of King FM's developer, yet this developer has been silently slurping it all up until recently, for undocumented purposes. Because of this, I am deleting this app until 1) the developer Jacobs Media (jacapps) comes clean on this practice, tells us precisely why and for what purpose it has been doing this, and posts an update that fixes this privacy problem; or 2) Apple releases an updated iOS that gives us the ability to block this type of behavior. These actions may not be enough, given that Jacobs Media has already abused its trust. Do you copy passwords or other sensitive text to your clipboard? Do you copy photos with sensitive GPS location information in them? If so, then you should worry about this too.

We are so sorry you experienced this in 2020. We released a new version this year with many fixes and updates and we hope you will be able to try it and let us know what you think. We do not copy information from your device with our app or read your clipboard.

Best Classical App

Wonderful music, especially at Christmas. Stripped down app just gives essentials. Works cleanly on CarPlay. How refreshing compared to other bloated music apps out there. Thank you King-FM! I live 3,000 miles from Seattle, but I feel the warmth of your great music!

Quality

I’ve used this for sometime from the UK and Spain. There is plenty on here to please any classical music fan.

LATEST UPDATE LARGE BUG 12/2/16

PLEASE FIX...

I am a sustaining member and downloaded the latest app update. I have an iPad 4 and iPhone 7. For any channel other than the main KING FM channel, if the screen goes to sleep or I lock the screen, the app stops playing. As long as I have the screen active and the equipment unlocked the other channels will continue to play - Evergreen, Christmas, 2nd Inversion etc. Needless to say this results in the great sucking battery sound and is frustrating.

Please fix!

Needs better music info

I would give this 5 stars but it is quite inadequate in regards to displaying information on the song currently playing. Instead of using the bulk of the screen to display the artist, song title,album, etc..., the screen just shows the station logo (or a giant nutcracker head in the case of the Christmas station) and has a very small section for the song info. There is not enough room to display all the data for the zone and it usually runs off the screen. Devote more attention to the song information.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We heard this same comment from other listeners, too, and in our newest version, we've added updates that are now able to include more information about each piece that is played on all three channels. We hope you can give it a try and let us know what you think!
