My first choice for news
Has the most balanced attempt at non-biased news in an easy to read format.

song over stories?
no clue what is going on but I tried to hear the rest of a serious story to have Jazz music playing over it.
Tried again and same thing. :(

KJZZ mobile app is just ok
So the connection to the app is intermittent and some of it is due to whatever cellular or Wi-Fi area you may be inside. When the app starts up there is an annoyingly long promotion for a station supporter that takes more time than it needs to prior to the broadcast starting. This is the station’s fault, not so much the performance of the app itself, though no app is perfect.

Enjoy the station but not the app
I’m a sustaining member but still have to endure the same messages every time I get on the app (and periodically while listening). But the biggest problem is there’s no support for Siri. I have to manually navigate through my phone instead of just saying “Hey Siri, play KJZZ” to our HomePod.
Buggiest App on My Phone
On average, every two weeks I have to delete this app and reload, because it crashes and refuses to play audio
Do not use in a quiet setting
I use this app to read the news rather than listening to the radio. In the latest version, the stories are very slow to load even on the home screen and the player starts without warning and through the phone speaker even when I have the mute switch enabled. The audio should not be allowed when the mute switch is on.

Can’t see what song is playing
You cannot see what song is streaming when you’re listening live. Would like to be able to look up songs while they’re playing on the app.
Intermittent, random pauses
I’m a KJZZ monthly supporter and avid listener. I’d love to use this app often during work/other projects.
However. This app pauses randomly when another phone page is opened/scrolled. I’m on iPhone X.
I’ll keep trying to listen and see if it continues to happen, and will update my rating if it does not.

Hate to force you listen 20 seconds of ad
I love KJZZ, and NPR in general, and I listen it everyday in my commute to and from work, and at home as well.
However starting latest version, this app started to force you to listen about 20 seconds of station identification EVERY time you turn on the app or even from a temporary pause! Once I was listening to an interesting story and accidentally hit the pause button, when I hit the play button again, and 20 seconds later, the most interesting part already gone! I would give it 5-star rating if the stopped doing that!
