Love the 24 hour jazz
In Utah they got rid of their jazz program. I use to live in Phoenix and love the jazz program every night to help me go to sleep. I'm glad that with this app I now can get 24 hour of Jazz. The one negative I have so far is that the App stopped working after I updated to iOS 10.3. Hopefully they do a quick patch to this app to fix it. Other than that it wonderful.

Latest version won't run
I have an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS update. This KJZZ app no longer works. It was okay before.
Nice streaming, with a big caveat
For some reason this app likes to intermittently disconnect from the stream. I haven't detected any logic to this, though I note it happens a lot just before the top of the hour, and it generally requires closing and reopening the app. And I miss the first two minutes of the hourly newscast. It will sometimes just say "buffering" when it stops, even though I'm on my own WiFi network, or the app will mysteriously change statuses from play to pause. Just pressing play again generally doesn't work. Don't know if the station is purposely kicking off connections that are open to long (server overload issues, maybe?). I like the station, but the app is buggy.

Bon vivant
Please update news and more emphasis on readable news content... Not just audio
Excellent
Thanks KJZZ
Nice but stream stops often
It's nice to have the option of this as an app but stream stops every 5 minutes or so, sometimes it starts again but other times I have to force close.
Problems with continuos play
The app plays for a few seconds then pauses to buffer. I miss about half the programming. It is very frustrating. I don't know if I have erred or if the iPhone 4 I have doesn't support the app
Kjzz
Works just as expected!
Could be better
Being able to listen to KJZZ when a radio is not available is great. However, of all the streaming apps I use this is the poorest. The signal constantly drops, and won't restart, meaning, I have fish out my phone kill the app to relaunch, which I have to do 3 or 4 times on a 30 minute bus trip. If it were not for the great content provided by NPR I would delete this app. As if to illustrate my point it dropped as I was writing this

Working much better now
EDIT: the app now initializes and runs, a major improvement over previous (see below). My rating is raised from 1 star to 4. But the app doesn't quite deserve 5 stars yet, as there are still some bugs to work out. (For example, when switching from Schedule to News and then back, the bottom menu says Schedule, but the News view persists.) Also, I think a story needs more than two written paragraphs to qualify as a "news" story.
But these are fairly minor issues that, again, I'm sure they'll overcome soon. On the whole, I'm much happier with the app's performance now.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I keep getting the message that 'the app cannot be configured from the server', regardless of whether I'm on my employer's firewalled WiFi or 4G. I'm sure they'll get this sorted out quickly, but until then, one star for an app that doesn't work quite yet.
