User reviews

Sometimes

Sometimes it opens. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Much Improved Update!

The newest update to the KNKX app does a nice job of presenting the news. It has pulled back from the NPR obsession with podcasts and allows me to actually read the news articles. Thank you!

App not opening

App looks like it will open but stays on the logo and doesn’t switch over to listening part of the app.

Just the best

Favorite station, actually the only station I listen to. News is informative and the music is top notch for anyone who loves jazz and blues or is just getting interested. Only place to discover new loves.

Great App

Delivers what I expect from it.
