### 1/5 — Worst app

*2024-12-02*

I am so disappointed. I'm glad I checked it out before sending it to an isolated friend who can't get Christian radio in her area . She listened to KGNW 820 for years until she had to move away with family & there's no reachable radio stations up there.   Had to delete it .   Glad I didn't share it with her and get her excited for absolutely nothing.

### 1/5 — Most Annoying App Ever

*2020-09-27*

This app is a nightmare - boxes popping up, haplessly being ushered to the website, commercials running into the next broadcast, unintuitive interface with too much stuff plastered all over the page. This app defies the long standing rule in advertising: KISS ( keep it simple, stupid): The schlock app.

I dread using it, and I’m exhausted by the time I shut it down.

I’ve come to find that the companies with the most resources (e.g., Salem Network) have the worst, most illogically-laid-out apps, with tons of garbage thrown onto the page.

On the flipside, I do enjoy many of the programs on 820 AM KNGW:  FOTF, David Jeremiah, Chuck Swindoll, the stellar James Boice, Adventures in Odyssey, Ravi.  The app is the problem.

### 5/5 — I LOVE this app

*2010-07-26*

I live in an area where the reception is less in the early mornings and later on in the evenings..... With this new app I can listen to my favorite radio station anytime I want. It has really been a blessing. I haven't check out everything they say is possible w/the app but everything I have checked out works perfectly .  Thanks very much to whoever came up w/ the idea & whoever set it up:). :)
Most Sincerely,
