### 5/5 — KAZU npr & classical

*2018-09-30, version 3.9.9*

I listen all day to one or the other. When I get tired of news & analysis I tune in to classical music. The app brings the two stations with me wherever I go.

### 5/5 — Morning edition in SMA

*2018-08-20, version 3.9.9*

We count on you.

### 5/5 — Great app

I’m enjoying this app.

### 5/5 — NPR for the monterey bay

*2017-10-29, version 3.8.11*

having lived in santa cruz for about half my life, i like to keep up with local stories even while i’m away. this app is perfect - local news and NPR on a familiar schedule. no more searching for an NPR station on the road!

### 5/5 — One of the best classical stations in the U.S.

*2017-07-12, version 3.8.11*

Have been a listener for many years - First in the SF Bay Area and now as a new Washington state resident. Excellent mix of classical music with informative commentary and limited commercials. Streaming HD2 Classical audio content over net is excellent and the Net interface with in-depth content is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Currently enjoying 90.3 KAZU on a Mac Computer, iPhone  iPad Pro and Apple TV. Audio quality on all platforms is top-notch unlike  some stations that deliver muddy audio over the net. - Don D.

### 1/5 — Ver 4.5.20 does not work

*2021-08-31, version 4.5.20*

Latest version presents a blank screen when opened on the latest iOS. 
No option but to close it. 
Rebooting does not solve problem.

### 3/5 — The stream cuts out frequently

*2026-07-03, version 12.0.3*

I’m trying out the app version of the KAZU stream and it still cuts out -twice in the first few minutes of the attempt, on good WiFi at home, not even moving around. The web version is barely better. We get it over the air in the car, but that’s about it for reliable reception.

### 4/5 — Love the content But

*2024-11-22, version 4.6.33*

User Interface needs some work. So does the cybersecurity. Lately, since Ive been listening,  i cant open other apps like Games  or the Kazu app will quit. Needs to able to run in the Background.

### 4/5 — NPR for the Monterey Bay Area

*2024-05-19, version 4.6.33*

This is our go to station for local news and events. It’s great to have the Rick Steve’s Travel Show on each week as well as other NPR programming. Always my favorite to listen to on the weekends.

### 4/5 — Love the Classical, would like less BBC

*2021-09-18, version 4.5.23*

I am an insomniac and listen to the radio all night. Too much BBC! Do reruns of other shows or broadcast podcasts. What happened to NPROne?

### 4/5 — Audio from KAZU app & car radio are rarely in sync...

*2017-09-26, version 3.8.11*

... and audio on TuneIn Radio also frequently out of sync with car radio.  Means tuning in at the top of the hour from iPhone (either app) often misses the top-of-the-hour news

### 4/5 — Like having my local NPR radio station

*2017-07-28, version 3.8.11*

At the touch of my fingers. Local stories at the top. Good stuff.

### 5/5 — Love the Classical, would like less BBC

*2025-11-09, version 6.2.38*

I am an insomniac and listen to the radio all night. Too much BBC! Do reruns of other shows or broadcast podcasts. What happened to NPROne?

### 5/5 — Reliable News, Relatable Entertainment

*2025-09-18, version 6.2.38*

I don’t come to NPR for breaking news. I come here for clarity without a talking head telling me how to interpret the news.  
I love the programming. I love out of state now, but KAZU has some of the best lineup of programming anywhere. Thank you this app. It makes getting the news less of something to dread.

### 5/5 — KAZU is the Best!

*2025-05-15, version 6.2.38*

I’ve been listening to KAZU for over 20 years now. When I found this app for KAZU I was so excited because now I can listen to KACU anytime in anywhere. I love their music and their DJs.
Thank you!
