It Worked Fine Until It Didn’t
This app worked fine before KGO 810 turned into a sports channel. Now, I keep getting an Internet connection error. All other apps work fine except this one. I blame the app.
Buggy and annoying
The app drops the feed often which would be fine except that when the feed comes back you have to listen to the exact same Progressive ad every….single….time.
Worst App
I have the new version. Only download this if you want to hear more ads than radio, enjoy the app freezing randomly and restarting itself, or want the worst podcast user interface you can find.
Great app but why aren’t the function buttons bigger?
This app is great but I’m troubled by how small the “on” button is. It’s so hard to find and requires several taps to get it started. The ads can be annoying but I realize I have to deal with those. The biggest problem with the decreased functionality is that my car doesn’t get AM radio stations and I’m forced to stream this station via the app. Trying to find the on button while driving is dangerous so I’m stuck not being able to listen to anything.

Horrible
This app immediately brings you to an advertisement and actually never gets you to the radio station This app immediately brings you to an advertisement and actually never gets you to the radio station
Show hosts
Great for fumping a and g need to add angie coiro and dump chip . He is not funny and not informed with facts. Borderline misoginist when trying to be funny just dull and selfabsorbed, john r good too. Mark thimpson jusr said joe biden is not exciting when he just pilled huge election turnout. Mark is completely wrong on biden

Good station, terrible app
Just downgraded my rating to one star. Can’t listen without the phone going to sleep and streamed content stopping. That needs to be fixed. Stupid video commercials run over normal feed when you first start app. Would rather regular audio commercial because this is an audio app. Wish I could listen to Kgo with my TuneIn app.

Too Many Ads Plus Poor Performance
Way too many ads as the others have correctly pointed out. In addition, however, the app works poorly. Crashes constantly which makes for a frustrating listening experience. And every time you relaunch it you have to endure 15 to 30 seconds of repetitive ads before resuming listening to the program.
And ever since KGO hired the highly annoying & over-the-top Mark Thompson it’s not worth the trouble. Pat Thurston? Chip Franklin? Give me a break.
A&G are worth listening to, but the app makes it a frustrating challenge. Better to listen on an old-fashioned radio.

Love listening to the Mark Thompson show....
I love having this app to listen to the program on my own time, however this app is horrid! Always crashes! Please have an update soon to fix this from happening again. Thank you!
Latest ‘Update’ a bust 2019
With the latest update I can’t switch screens on my i-devices without losing the stream. And when the screen dims, the audio stops. What the???? That and the new Agreement I had to accept that says basically that the company will use my information to push ads at me, I’m asking myself if I really need this. KGO app is ruined.

Latest Update?
I just had to sign in for the latest update (the station wouldn’t play unless I did) and now I can’t switch to any other app while listening to KGO. If I do, the app stops running and the station fades out. What’s up with that? I don’t want to sit and watch my iOS, or my Bluetooth speaker. I want to ‘listen’ to my Bluetooth speaker while maybe clearing a ton of email, replying to a few texts, checking the weather, or any other number of things that requires I leave the app running in the background. Please fix this bug!

Worst app ever!? 10 minutes of non-stop ads
Was excited to hear post-game show on KGO app. Instead got non-stop ads. I close the app, hoping there was a mistake. I reopened it, and had the exact same experience. NON-STOP adds. I’ll now delete it, as worthless.
Repetetive ads
I LOVE KGO and wouldn’t mind even the obnoxious amount of ads if only the ad sales department would get just a little creative and stop LOOPING them 3 to maybe 6 times in a row! I find myself pulling the head set down or just jumping stations all together it’s gotten so bad! Whatever happened to variety is the spice of life or have the personnel cutbacks been so drastic from KGO’s hay day that automatons are programming the ads? It’s a sad state of affairs if so and if not, it sure seems like it by all appearances.

Too many adds
I love kgo, however there are commercials on top of commercials, then the normal massive amount of commercials throughout the listening experience. Right when you turn on the app, an app add, followed by another intro add, then a ton of adds that are the normal radio adds for the radio station.
Worst rollout yet
The app is buggy. Crashes often and when it looses signal and you bring the app back to the foreground it RELOADS/Restarts FROM SCRATCH. With as much money as you make from the 2 minutes of lawyer commercials when loading the stream you think you could spend a bit of it on debug and Dev. Also I appreciate the automatic opening of the App Store for some sponsored game/app. I'd almost say this app has malware.

I love the app
I love talk radio especially KGO810, but because I am a pet sitter I'm often in and out of the car. This app lets me keep up with the convo (even if on a delay) between listening while driving then just turn on app and continue while I'm on my walks with the pups away from the radio. Also love that I can use all my other apps or even close my phone so I use less battery while the app keeps playing. In fact Writing this review while I listen ;) very few if ever any issues *knock on wood*

Terrible
I love the station but this app is possibly the worst app I've ever had I start it up it crashes which wouldn't be too bad if I wasn't forced to listen to these 30 second adds when the app starts up. Get it together kgo
Broken app
I've used this app for years every morning as I commute on a train. Ever since the January 2016 update, the thing plays the same commercial over and over again. I hate the phrase "you're on the move and on the go....." I tried to connect for over 20 minutes this morning at 6:50am with no luck getting past the commercial.

Automatically opens AppStore
I like this app since it does play the current programming well and also allows you to play past broadcasts. However, what is not good is while the app is open, it will automatically open your AppStore and present an app to be downloaded. I think it's fine to advertise as much as you want on the app but NOT ok to have an app be able to open other apps automatically without your own action! This is too much.

Doesn't open anymore
I have listened to this app every morning for a year but in the last week or so it has simply stopped opening. It cycles like it is going to open but minutes later it is still not open. For a while it would take a long time and then open into a 30 second advertisement. But now it doesn't open at all. I go to the website and push the Listen Live button to get to the broadcast now. Not nearly as easy! Please fix!
