### 4/5 — Great site, hiccups at times

*2021-12-21*

As many others have said, this is one of the best public radio apps. And I do run into audio feed problems at times, so if I want to listen to KLCC for quite a long time, I still use “old school” radio at 91.7.

### 5/5 — Great news source, great app

*2021-11-17, version 4.5.19*

I go to this news for local and state news. Excellent reporting and excellent app.

### 5/5 — Easy access to NPR and local news

*2021-09-09*

This app just works! Live streams don't buffer or fail. Lots of shows available on demand. I like the local touch. I also have the WBAA app for news back in Indiana.

### 5/5 — best station in the land

*2021-08-01, version 4.4.68*

LOVE LOVE LOVE dead air !

### 5/5 — Great app for a great station

*2021-06-09, version 4.5.11*

KLCC is my prederred station but the reception at my house is not so hot. This app is the perfect solution - easy and not at all glitchy. Thanks

### 5/5 — Excellent app!

*2021-02-22, version 4.4.68*

Really well designed app. Super handy for quick local news.

### 5/5 — Solid App

*2020-11-30, version 4.4.68*

Predominantly dependable

### 5/5 — Great app with easy local news

*2020-10-15*

This is a great app because unlike the national apps it actually has local news stories displayed on a page in the app. I don’t think you’ll find that anywhere else. And I find it easier to locate what I want then the other NPR apps.

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2020-09-12, version 4.4.48*

Easy to find segments and on demand selection.

### 5/5 — Effective

*2020-09-11*

Works well and allows news reading as well as listening live

### 5/5 — Great for travel

*2020-05-09*

I can keep track of home music, news and information when I’m elsewhere. Plus the layout is great!

### 5/5 — Great music, great special interest shows and great news.

*2020-03-15, version 4.4.9*

Great music, great special interest shows and great news.

### 5/5 — Connection

*2020-03-11, version 4.4.9*

Love the app because I can listen to Eugene local and NPR when I travel. Keeps me connected wherever I am.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-02-11*

Couldn't be easier! Quick download, then just click the button on the bottom to listen to live public radio. KLCC is a great station and this app is a great service to the community. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Stream had been dropping out lately

*2020-03-08, version 4.4.9*

I’ve noticed that lately the steam seems to be dropping out at random times. I’ve rebooted and downloaded the latest version but it’s still glitchy.

### 2/5 — Live stream doesn't work on 5 or 5s

*2016-07-10, version 3.6.13*

Pre recorded programs seem to work fine but the live stream does not on my phone or my mothers phone.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t refresh day to day

*2024-12-10*

Picks up broadcast where it was when I exited the app a day or two before. Often takes several minutes to catch up to the live broadcast. For example, today is Tuesday, but when I turned it on this morning, it was still playing Sundays broadcast for at least five minutes.

### 3/5 — Random skipping and repeating

*2024-03-27*

The app has been glitchy lately. Randomly skipping around within a program, or repeating segments. Additionally, when I turn on the steam, it resumes where I left off, even if that was the previous day

### 3/5 — Want to use but glitchy

*2023-04-05*

When it works it’s terrific but then you can have a couple of days in a row where it’s so glitchy and frustrating.

### 3/5 — Glitchy app

*2022-11-13, version 4.5.57*

I like listening to NPR and KLCC programming but the dialogue / recording will repeat itself for a few seconds almost every minute.  I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app but to no avail.  Irritating.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2020-05-17*

The app is a good way to stream KLCC’s programming.  It’s also good for reading or listening to local, state news.  But it is glitchy!!  It drops the stream fairly often and just sometimes doesn’t work-no audio.  I just delete and re-install and all’s well but I shouldn’t have to do that.  If I don’t have time for that I just switch to the OPB app or another NPR app.  Luckily, I’ve got choices, but’s frustrating.  I really like KLCC’s programming.

Now a year later, my comments remain the same.  Love having it as that makes KLCC available almost anywhere, but it remains glitchy.  Same problems.

### 3/5 — It’s glitchy

*2019-01-28, version 3.9.25*

It is easy to store NPR programs and find programs. Every so often it just stops working so I have to delete and reinstall.  I tried the OPB app and I can’t figure it out, like how to find All Things Considered or TED talks on it.

### 3/5 — Hen it works great

*2015-02-28, version 3.1.3*

We enjoy KLCC when traveling or when using our module devices. However when it does not work it is very frustrated. We have to reinstall it several times. Hoping for a better robust version in the future.

### 3/5 — One quirk

*2012-04-05, version 1.0*

Very nice features content and sound. One quirk that's getting annoying is this: started playing, then stopped and closed the app. Then made a phone call and it starts playing! Not so good when you crank speakers up to hear your phone call. Other than that, good app.

### 5/5 — Love KLCC!

*2025-12-28*

The app is a great way to keep up to date with local and world news no matter where I am on the planet! I can red a short snippet of a story or go directly to the website if I want more details. Well maintained and frequently updated to stay fresh!

### 5/5 — Appreciate great journalism

*2025-07-23, version 6.2.18*

Just moved to Oregon and appreciate the great programming on this NPR station, KLCC.

### 5/5 — Programs

*2025-03-09, version 6.2.18*

Keep up the good work! Dead Air soothes the soul.

### 5/5 — One of the BEST

*2024-08-21*

I listen to KLCC/KLCO every single morning.  It is amazing how NPR is so on top of the news.  Often I will hear things on NPR that aren’t reported for days on other news networks.  It is fair, intelligent, and presented well.  And KLCC/KLCO is right on top of reporting local items, and by “local” they cover most of Oregon…It’s a great station!

### 5/5 — KLCC forever

*2024-05-03*

I have enjoyed KLCC for 30 years. I know it is not great but I receive most of my news through KLCC. I think that it is relatively balanced and fair, plus it shares a lot of my views. I love the sense of community that it provides and promotes. I have seen it take away music and insert talk shows. This is the only aspect that really bothers me and I know it is hard to compete with streaming music platforms. I will continue to praise and contribute to KLCC. I would realize a big hole in my life without KLCC. You guys are fantastic.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-07-27*

So nice to be able to take OPB/NPR with me outside of the car. It’s also super convenient to be able to finish the stories and interviews that I have to cut short when getting to work. Thank you. Thank you! THANK YOU!!

### 5/5 — KLCC App

*2023-07-05, version 4.6.11*

I love this app. It’s a great way for me to get the news from home when I’m away.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-04-10*

Great app for listening. Kind of the nature of the beast but it is difficult to read everything going on with all of the information on episodes but that is also beneficial as well. I use it all the time.

### 5/5 — Love streaming KLCC ON THIS APP!

*2022-11-08*

This app is well done!  Far better results streaming KLCC than poor radio reception in Lincoln City!  Keep up the high quality of all you do.

### 5/5 — It works!

*2022-03-02, version 4.5.19*

I like that it works.
