### 3/5 — Pause or mute

*2026-08-14, version 11.0.1*

I enjoy the app and listening to both streams but often I have to “pause” due to distractions. But every time I do that it plays an ad even if it just for a few seconds. I know the music won’t actually pause but it’s annoying to have insert and ad before returning to the stream.

### 1/5 — The station appears to be offline in United Kingdom

*2026-06-04, version 11.0.1*

Can not be able to run the Apps properly; however, images and time tables can be seen.

### 5/5 — My favorites radio in America

*2026-01-23, version 10.0.10*

The best radio of the west coast 👍❤️

### 3/5 — Ads

*2025-12-13, version 10.0.10*

Let me start off by saying I have been listening to 96.5 since I was a kid. So now that I don’t live in the bay I use the app to tune in. Tell me why I have to watch an ad before I have access to the radio station   So sometimes I watch an ad just to listen to more. Of course I don’t mind listening to the ads for the station but I don’t appreciate that I have to watch an ad before even listening to the station. There’s just so many ads across all apps now I just didn’t expect it to be here.

### 4/5 — Nice to have

*2024-09-28, version 9.2.15*

It’s nice that I can listen at my desk using my iPhone.  I had hoped to be able to listen to the station when I’m not in their broadcast area.  So was very disappointed when it didn’t show up on my CarPlay 😞

### 1/5 — Keep crushing

*2024-08-09, version 9.2.14*

I’ve been listening to KOIT for years. I listen to it instead of local radios when I go on vacation.  Since I updated to the new updated login app it has been more annoying than enjoyable.  I listened to the station everyday when I go for my walk between 6-8 pm and non stop crushing. Sometimes I have to reboot my phone while walking. Not a reception problem because I have full bars and I’m on 5g. I’ll give it another month if nothing change then I will be moving on
