KQED is the best
I love the KQED app, I use it every day for news and information. I appreciate the local news coverage and features like Bay Curious. Forum covers an excellent range of topics from local history and events to national and international topics in arts, science, politics and sports. The news is always truthful and their cultural coverage has flair.

Mostly positive review
We just need to get the ten second fast forward button back. The two arrow fast forward does strange things and it’s not clear how much it fast forwards. Love the ten second rewind button. That is the best part of the app.
My best friend!
I am a monthly subscriber on my very limited income.. I have radio on in each room when my husband isn’t around. I remember my dad also had Kgo on in each room when I was a kid in the 50’s and 60’.. I love all the programs with some being my favorite! Too many to list! I learn so much listening to all the interesting guests!

Outstanding news and information for The Bay
An amazing variety of news that is important and worthy of my time. Terrific dark mode and an audio player and videos that qualify it as information and reading really propels the curiosity and effectiveness as an app. Also spotlights are flexible. The screen time when dealing with background playing time could be adjusted.

Phantom rewind
I am frequently getting automatic rewinds while streaming. The content I’m listening to will stop and then restart from a place of about 10 or 15 seconds earlier and then proceed, only to repeat the process. This causes me to go to a different station’s app in order to listen to Morning Eddition, for example.

App Resets too Frequently
I love KQED and I listen to it multiple times per day.
It’s really frustrating that, if you get a phone call or you accidentally turn on the dictation, it completely resets every time. Then I have to listen to the “Sponsorship introduction”. Don’t get me wrong, I recognize the need for the sponsorship. But if the phone simply interrupts the KQED streaming for a very short time, even as few as 15 seconds, I feel like I shouldn’t have to listen to the sponsorship again.
That’s my main complaint. I still listen all the time. And I’m a sustaining member for over 25 years now.
But I listen daily and often. So this problem affects me often.

KQED Forever
Thank you everyone who supports KQED. For Bay Area & CA community news and culture, it’s simply the best.
Mood?
AI slop that tracks you.
Playful take on word search
The new foggy find game is quite fun. My partner and I enjoy playing everyday. Love KQED
Slop?
No definition of what “mood personalization” means. No screen shots of where “mood” is in the app and it implies more than one mood but not what they are. Could it be using stupid intelligence? Time to delete..
The reports I
I have listened to two several reports. They probably work for most people, but personally, I would prefer more concise reports. apologies, the forgoing was not well said. Perhaps most appropriate is that I am put off by the naïve approach taken in some of the reports.

Best radio station ever

Great conversation starters
With the vast amount of interesting information, you can definitely become an interesting person.
Radio playback is broken
This is usually a great app. However the latest update has broken radio live streaming. You can no longer scroll back in time in the live radio, you have to skip back 10 seconds at a time and the buffer usually breaks before you reach the beginning of the thing you were trying to catch up on. I hope this gets fixed soon!
