### 2/5 — In need of update

*2026-02-23, version 2.1.0*

As of iOS 26, it is not possible to select streams or activate them with voiceover. Please correct.

### 4/5 — Great programming - but sometimes app won't work

*2025-12-11, version 2.1.0*

I so love this app and the station - the morning prayer and Oratio have literally changed my life. The podcast programming is also terrific.  Every few days, tho, the app just won't work.  Is it possible to fix this stability issue?  Love to you all at KFUO!

### 3/5 — In need of update

*2025-12-01*

Recently, I updated to iOS 26, only to discover that this app no longer works with that update. I am a voiceover user. Possibly this is an accessibility issue, but I don't know that for certain. I'm unable even to access the audio streams. The Start or Stop Audio buttons appear not to work. Please correct.

### 1/5 — Does not download

*2024-07-10, version 2.0.9*

App does not download and install.  It merely open KFUO.org via browser.  Have to come back to apple App Store to open next time.  Could just browser myself.

### 2/5 — Disappointing update

*2021-05-12*

The new update might look very nice visually, however, it is terrible for voiceover users. Buttons are not labeled in such a way that the user can tell what actions will be completed by pressing them. The alarm does not work. After double tapping a selection. Something other than what was pressed opens. There is no way of activating classic 99. This update should not have been released until voiceover accessibility was secured.

### 5/5 — My favorite Christian radio app!

*2021-02-05, version 2.0.7*

I love this station above all the others. I am very edified and blessed when I listen to it. I lean very much listening. The music is definite best. God bless you.

### 5/5 — Work as advertised

*2020-10-10, version 2.0.7*

Works as advertised. Clean and simple. A few  more features would be nice (e.g. name of current song/programming playing).

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2020-05-09, version 2.0.6*

The most recent update kills the app. App starts then quits immediately.

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2020-05-04, version 2.0.5*

Not able to get app to work on my iPhone X.

### 5/5 — Kfuo
