User reviews

Better and better

They’ve really improved their app collection in the last year or so; Android and MacOS apps are much stabler and performant with recent updates.

Good app

Good app

Stream still drops frequently

Updated app this morning, stream still keeps dropping or pausing. Now the pauses are shorter than they were, so maybe that’s an improvement. And I haven’t heard any repeating, yet. Don’t understand why this long standing problem can’t be fixed.

Love the station, hate the ads

I love KUOW, but the ads the you are required to listen to before the streaming starts is extremely annoying. It’s the same ads every time. And if I’m switching from the radio to the app, there’s no continuity…I have to listen to two mins of ads first. I am a member and the fact I have to listen to ads is ridiculous
