Doesn’t Play
App appears to be broken. None of the 3 stations play. I just heard an advert for your app this morning on the radio. Might want to not run the advert any more until the app is fixed.
Please make this app work
I’ve been a dedicated KUAF listener for over 30 years. I really love the station, but I really hate this app. This version has been buggy from the start and has only gotten worse over the last year. 75% of the time the play button doesn’t actuAlly function. The user is made to switch from KUAF 1 to KUAF 2 or 3 then back to get it to play. And about one day every two week this doesn’t even work, although the streaming site functions when connected directly through a computer.

More to be desired
I love KUAF, and I listen to them actively. This is not a reflection of the station, but the app.
The app has an older design style, one that is hard to use, outdated, and performs poorly. There are lots of actions that are broken. For instance, when the menu pops up with the three stations, you can’t tap on the top play button. You can to go down to be bottom and tap that play button, wait a a few seconds, and then it plays.
Another complaint is audio quality. They say it’s HD, but the quality is not good. The audio has a scratchy, tinny sound to it. It takes nice headphones and makes them sound cheap. Not sure what kind of problem this is, but it’s annoying. With audio devices that support sound coming from two speakers (like headphone), the sound jumps around quickly from headphone to headphone, making you feel dizzy.
Some of the features are useful, and the app is a good idea. But it seems like it was designed by a 60 year old app developer who rushed the project. It needs more time, a more modern UI, and waaaay better audio quality. Not sure what the problem is, but for an audio app it is bad.
Please fix these things!!! Also, iPhone X support would be awesome. Thank you!

Adding to: Barely Works
Ditto & amen. When you drive away from home network the app never picks up changes to cell coverage. Please refine & update!
Barely works
The app really has a hard time playing at all. Upon opening, the play button seems as though it works, as the app says KUAF is loading, but the station never begins playing. After several hard closes, the app may play for a bit, but then will stop randomly. From that point, it may be as easy to restart it as pressing the play button again in the app, but more often than not, a hard close and a reopening of the app may be in order. And again, that might not even work on the first couple of tries. It's really a shame. I love my local NPR station.

Not updated recently but mostly works
The app works although does still skip ,whether you're on LTE or a wireless network. The alarm function isn't functional and you can't stop and start it from the locked screen. Still, if you want a KUAF-focused app--and, who doesn't, really--then this will be adequate.
Love my KUAF but..
Am I the only one whose stream just constantly cuts in and out? I've tried it on wifi and on LTE but I can't keep a stream going without it having these 5-10 second breaks all the time.
Wow!!
Oh what joy! Sweet bliss! Many fortnights it has been since I've been able to listen to the soothing sounds of classical music and NPR radio. My life is worth while once again!
Great app
Love NPR and classical radio! App makes it accessible anywhere.
Superb
Sweet app, I love the classical radio!
