### 3/5 — Weird blips while streaming

*2019-07-21, version 4.0.4*

KMFA is my favorite of the available classical music apps, but when I use it, there is a very audible “blip” every 4-5 seconds. The timing and the sound itself are random—never the same twice. Can anyone help me fix this?

### 4/5 — OperaLady$

*2017-01-06, version 3.7.36*

Streaming is MUCH better now

### 3/5 — Listener

*2016-07-13, version 3.7.36*

The app frequently crashes before it has finished loading.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2016-07-09, version 3.7.36*

Some hiccups in live stream, but I have not experienced the app crashing as others report.  Much better at streaming (doesn't stop playback to buffer every 30 seconds) like the NPR app.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Shows a lot but tells you nothing.

*2017-04-13, version 4.0.1*

Lots of fancy graphics but it won't tell you what's playing. Putting the app on ice until they develop something helpful for the listener. There are so many other stations with good content AND a good app. Wake up, KMFA.

### 1/5 — Background woe

*2017-02-13, version 4.0*

I love KMFA. Please make it so this app runs while I use another app or, heaven forbid, read a book.

### 1/5 — App won't play

*2016-10-22, version 3.7.36*

This app keeps closing.

### 1/5 — Needs Work

*2016-10-13, version 3.7.36*

App crashes immediately before and after starting.

### 1/5 — Opera lover

*2016-10-01, version 3.7.36*

The app crashes when it tries to display a picture of the album cover of the piece that is playing. Please fix before the opera broadcast season resumes.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2016-09-12, version 3.7.36*

Crashes every time I try to play the stream.

### 1/5 — Crashtacular. :(

*2016-09-03, version 3.7.36*

Broken app - crashes every time you try to play the livestream. :(

### 1/5 — Broken

*2016-08-07, version 3.7.36*

The app shuts down as soon as I try to play live radio.  I'm hoping they fix this issue soon, as I see that I'm not the only one with this problem.

### 1/5 — Current Version Keeps Crashing :/

*2016-07-01, version 3.7.36*

I really wanna listen to the live-stream, but the app crashes every time before it finishes loading.

### 2/5 — So So performance. Often will drop!

*2017-01-28, version 3.7.36*

I then go to kusc or kdfc for classical music.

### 5/5 — Great redesign.

*2024-05-19, version 4.1.1*

Great update and redesign of the app.  It works great now.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2017-03-07, version 4.0.1*

I like the listen live feature as well as the new city audio tour. What a great way to incorporate Austin landmarks and Austin history into the classical music I listen to every day! It adds a new layer and perspective to the pieces.

### 5/5 — Glad to have KMFA along on trips

*2016-11-04, version 3.7.36*

Visiting our daughter in California and having KMFA along with us is just like being at home musically. Stations in Southern California are iffy at best. Good clear reception on app.

### 5/5 — Lucky us!

*2016-10-10, version 3.7.36*

The gift of KMFA is precious beyond words.

### 5/5 — A Very Happy Camper!

*2016-08-04, version 3.7.36*

Yeah, it was a little "touch and go" at the beginning, but with the latest version of the app the streaming is much improved. Even though I live in a major city, its radio offerings of classical music are abysmal. I have now regained what was once lost, and I'm in classical music heaven. Many thanks, KMFA, for engineering this app!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-06-10, version 3.3.5*

This is my favorite music to listen to in the morning. The absolute best way to start a day!

### 5/5 — Great Station, Great App

*2014-05-06, version 3.0.6*

Glad to be able to eft all things KMFA anywhere and on the go!

### 5/5 — KMFA is an awesome app

*2014-03-20, version 3.0.6*

Amazing app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-02-19, version 3.0.6*

Good to be able to listen here and abroad.

### 4/5 — Sleep timer

*2020-07-23, version 4.0.4*

It streams really well, but it doesn’t respond to the iPhone’s built-in sleep timer. Hopefully the developers can fix that or add one of their own?
