Can’t close some ads
The Schwartz laser eye center ad is like a virus. I like reading the news articles, but if I accidentally click the ad there is no way to close. I have to go to another story and then back to one I was reading.
Love the station but worst app EVER!
I work from home and enjoy listening to KTAR live. Unfortunately, I like to listen on the app on my iphone so I can take it with me when I’m going from the kitchen to the refrigerators to the front room all of which I do to work. But! If I have to pause or stop the live stream to answer the phone or talk with one my kids, it won’t start again. I have to close the app and re-open it and am forced to hear a Reiss ad like a bajillion times a day. It’s horrible. Why can’t I stop the live stream and go back to it? It’s ridiculous. I only briefly stop it.

Constant crashing
Please fix this app!! It constantly crashes all the time all day have to always go to the app and restart if for it to continues playing. It’s not my phone it’s the app, my wife has a brand new iPhone 14 and it does the same for her. So frustrating
Good app update
This app has improved with their latest update.
Login/Register Requirement JUST to Listen? No Thanks!
I’ve been an avid and continuous user and listener of the KTAR app for quite some time now. To make it a bigger hassle to require folks to login or register just to listen to the show on the app is a big no thanks from me. I’ll continue listening on the radio in my vehicle periodically, but the app is where I was listening to my favorite shows and segments on here without the need to sign up.

Very sad
Very disappointing revision. Does the money greed ever end. Will longer support your Phoenix sponsors like Sanderson Ford.
Require Login
Must register to use app now . Nope, I’ll pass bye bye KTAR
Now requires your personal info? No!!!!!
So this app was decent until KTAR recently began requiring an account with your personal information. I’m not going to give that out - there’s no reason you need it. So goodbye KTAR!
9.1.1 update is no good
Sign in to read the news. No thanks. Sell my email for more money, no thanks. There are plenty of options out there. I’ll reload once they fix this.
App was never great. Now you’re forced to create account
The app was never great, but it was tolerable at times. Absolutely no interest in creating another login for yet another app. No longer even mildly worth the trouble. Removed app. Will use podcast if I want to listen.
No!!!
No!!! Won’t do it!!! Put a card in for a totally free app!!! No!!!
App crashes every 15-20 minutes
New update from March 2023 the app literally stops playing and disappears from my lock screen this happens every 15-20 mins if I’m lucky I get a full hour without this happening this also happens on the 98.7 Arizona sports app, these apps are the absolute worst apps on my phone, I get better reliability from a developer who makes a game in his grandmothers basement! Seriously how hard is it to make an app that doesn’t crash every 15 minutes. You guys should download it yourself and try listening and you will be as frustrated as I am!

Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback, 29749271. We appreciate it. We're always working to improve the user experience. -The Development Team
All this plays is ads
Where is the actual program I want to listen to?? This is garbage. You MUST listen to 10 minutes of back to back ads. Then the program starts. Don’t waste your time. Deleting app.
Not sure the developer uses the app
Do you guys even use the app? Massive battery drain and phone gets really hot when using. Other live streaming radio apps don’t have these issues.
No landscape mode
I installed this on my iPad. It is always in landscape mode, and the display insisted on staying in portrait mode. I deleted the application.
This update ruined the app
Now, not only do I have to listen to the commercial before the station opens to commercials, but it also just sounds like it went to dead air every few seconds. Will uninstall app soon if it’s not fixed
9.0.1 is terrible
Please revert this app to the version before 9.0.1. You made it painful to use.
Pause button on lock screen broken
Nagging popups asking for location information
Unpausing after switching from another app plays the rest of the audio from the ad I skipped instead of the show, and then silence
After restarting app to get it to work again, you force me to watch another ad, again, skip ad again when timer counts down, and tell you I won’t share my location information, again. Far too many clicks.
Many more bugs
Anger at app gets associated with your sponsor

Low grade
One the worst app’s I’ve ever dealt with…
Commercials cut off the live radio broadcasts
Whenever the commercials start they cut off the news or live radio broadcast, also they blare much louder than the radio does and I have to quickly turn down the volume because it’s so loud, then I have to turn up the volume when the live broadcast starts up again, this has been happening for over a month, tried un downloading and re-downloading the app and it didn’t fix it, it’s also updated and it’s still doing this

Bunch of ads
Terrible! If I want to quickly pull up the app to listen to some breaking (and import) news it forces you to sit through a long ad. You can’t even mute it while in your car because then the ad will stop. And heaven forbid your signal gets interrupted because then you have to restart the app and listen to the ads again
