### 5/5 — works great!

*2026-06-11*

I started listening to KUER while I’m walking my dog in the morning. It’s a good start to the day to catch me up on world events.

### 4/5 — New app

*2026-02-19, version 7.3.3*

Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Thank you KUER!

*2025-10-20*

I’ve been listening and supporting for 23 years. Thank you for being a sane voice in an insane place and time!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2024-04-18*

I like it. More reliable than the website. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Light, informative, sensible to cultural heritage

*2023-11-28, version 4.6.14*

I am enjoying it now that it came to Utah!

### 5/5 — KUER on the go

*2023-10-23, version 4.6.14*

Great app to stay in tune

### 5/5 — Only KRCL will do it for me

*2023-06-20*

Listen to you guys 90% of the time. Have been since I moved here in 1979!  So many great shows, especially 12:00 Women Who Rock and Sunday Bluegrass Express. I also love These 3 Songs. Only small request is that you try to play more Americana. The country stations aren’t doing it!

### 5/5 — Top Rate

*2023-01-18, version 4.5.64*

This is a top rated app, especially for a beginner like me! I’ve heard some experts, say that it needs a little improvement, well, maybe for them, but not for a beginner. Great app, keep up the good work.

### 4/5 — Decent app needs UI improvement.

*2022-09-30*

I’ve been using the KUER app on my iPad and my iPhone for at least five years. Every day several times a day. There are reliability issues that come up once every two or three months. These can be everything from a crash to a simple failure to load. The other big issue is that, as noted below by many reviewers, the app itself is a bit messy and doesn’t follow many UI best practices for sophisticated mobile apps. So a bit of attention to underlying tech to correct the reliability problems and a complete redesign of the user interface to Simplify it, improve its appearance, and make Navigation more seamless is in order. That said, I also use the WNYC app Upon occasion and I find it even more difficult. The great content and ability to get to Radio West, local news stories,  combined with Fresh Air, and the other big NPR shows makes the KUER app a must have for me.

### 5/5 — Informative News on the Go

*2022-07-11*

I love NPR. I love the solid mix of global and domestic politics, strange biology and philosophical questioning, and the weird guests they have on sometimes. The only problem, or so I thought, was that it was fixed to my car radio. Turns out they have an app! I mean, it’s not the cleanest looking of all apps and it takes a second to load the current radio, but the simplicity is comforting, and it does the job flawlessly. Thanks guys.
