KERA is the best

I have travelled all over the US for work and IMO KERA is the best of NPR. DFW is lucky to have such a great resource available.

Good App: requesting iPhone shortcut support

Good app, only 3 days used. Love I can that I can launch KERA Live with one click on app unlike NPR app. Like local news list. Requesting easy way to also go to NPR articles and news. Maybe it already has it ? Would be nice to have iPhone shortcut support.

Love my public radio!

I love that I get to hear my favorite stations wherever I go! I do get frustrated when the station won’t load, or keeps pausing to give me a “commercial” in the middle of a story or a great song I am trying to hear.i have to reload it too often to get it unstuck.

Meh

When it works it’s okay, but it frequently freezes up. Then again, KERA frequently has dead air, so I guess it’s reflective of its source.
