### 1/5 — Dumb

*2025-12-27, version 10.0.14*

Why do I have to create an account and log onto listen to a stupid bias local free radio station?? You could be way better! You should try!!

### 1/5 — Audio Stream woes

*2025-10-19*

The app used to work fine. I would tune in to listen to KSL or to catch a game. Now the stream stops every few minutes. Very frustrating and annoying when in the middle of a game where you end up missing plays due to app issues. Tried the stream from Safari but that cuts out if the screen goes off. I hope you fix the streaming issues. A radio app really has one main purpose and right now you are failing.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We've released an update to solve these issues. Thank you - The App Development Team

### 1/5 — App keeps quitting for no reason

*2025-10-18*

The best way to listen to KSL news radio is by your radio. The app is junk. It consistently quits for no reason at all and then you have to restart the app to get it to work again. This seems to happen about every 10 minutes.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We've released an update to solve these issues. Thank you - The App Development Team

### 2/5 — Okay and buggy

*2025-10-12*

Was forced to download the app to listen to the radio.  Can’t on browser anymore for whatever reason.  Ads are pointless.  At least I can listen without the app open on the main screen but it will randomly stop and I have to reload and watch another ad.  Cmon be better!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We've released an update to solve these issues. Thank you - The App Development Team

### 1/5 — Never connects.

*2025-03-23, version 9.2.17*

This is a great app if you like, watching the little circle in the middle of the screen, go round and round and round and round and round and round, forever

### 2/5 — Connection Issues

*2025-01-15, version 9.2.17*

It cuts out frequently and/or pauses so you have to keep pushing play or kill the app and restart it.

### 1/5 — Too Much Information

*2024-09-15, version 9.2.13*

Please explain why you need my name, birthdate and gender in order to listen to your app and give your advertisers a larger audience. These are invasive questions for the service being rendered. I can not imagine why they are necessary. No thanks!

### 1/5 — Ksl verification

*2024-02-04, version 9.2.1*

Have tried multiple times after finding in spam
VERY DISAPPOINTING!

### 1/5 — Does it do anything?

*2023-12-17, version 9.2.1*

Worst app I’ve ever downloaded. It never even let me sign up or log in.

### 1/5 — It’s just a radio station

*2023-11-25, version 9.2.1*

Why does everyone and their dog require you to make a account and create a password for EVERYTHING!!! Your just a stupid radio station. App deleted!!
