Would be great add more categories to the app and artists”musicians” info etc... Discover new artists would be nice and to support or donate ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It doesn't work on either the iPad nor the iPhone *2016-11-08* Can I give this a minus 2 stars? I've tried to get it to work on my iPhone 6s and iPad Air and it just freezes up both devices. Boo hiss!!! I really like listening to you from here in China but this stinks!!! Bring back the old app!!! ### 1/5 — Plays over phone calls *2016-09-21* Sound might be better but you have to stop it manually when using the phone making it useless as a "hands free" option in the car. ### 2/5 — Needs to be updated. *2024-05-19* This app hasn’t seen any support or update in 7 years. Lacks features of modern IOS versions. Great radio station, hope they can add more support for this app. Would love to see an option for higher audio quality, better airplay support, and an option to stream recordings of their various shows. **Developer response:** You're not wrong Ace, it's been a very long time. We've finally got a new version coming soon. It won't be feature rich, but it's at least a step in the right direction. Adding an HLS stream and access to the show recordings is on the short list. Thanks for listening to KUTX. ### 2/5 — Almost never up-to-date playlist *2021-11-13* Ok if you wanna see something that was playing 18 minutes ago, but if you want the current track, gotta launch the player( which has an opener, and delayed from live) if you just want to ID the current song, then your stuck asking Siri. Ancient tech ### 2/5 — Often doesn’t play *2018-07-25* Love the station but the last few weeks, there have been many times the app will not play music. No matter how many times I hit the play button. Hope you can fix this. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work 50% of the time *2018-07-11* Please fix! ### 2/5 — Needs improvement *2017-01-15* While a bit of an improvement over the last KUTX app I find that it still has an issue where the stream just stops playing. To resolve I have to hit the pause button and then play again. This usually fixes the problem, sometimes not. I find streaming KUTX works much better through the iHeart Radio app. ### 3/5 — Where are the other two KUTX streams? *2022-06-07* I like the app overall, but why aren’t the other two KUTX steams available on it? I can see from the KUTX website there’s an AMX stream that’s all Austin music and a TMX stream that’s all Texas music. Also, why not put the name and description of the show that I’m currently listening to, in addition to the song and artist? I can see from the Schedule page on kutx.org that there are blocks with certain genres and certain host(s). Would be cool to know that info as well when I’m listening on the app. One other minor complaint, minor because it’s pretty infrequent. But sometimes it doesn’t display the song title, artist, or playlist in the app for me. ### 3/5 — Not bad, but has works erratically *2018-11-03* Title says it all. Works erratically. It has trouble crossing from WiFi to cell network. If I’ve stopped using it to listen to some other stream, when I plug in my phone it might start playing. Once it provided a subdued background audio to a face time conversation again it was in an idle state and it just started. It s little weird when your pocket just starts playing music after you let a call go to voicemail. Anyway, on the plus side it’s nice having fewer commercials than TuneIn and the playlist stays up to date more than the web page, except for when you let the kutx app go into an idle state for some reason. ### 4/5 — App not working *2019-08-19* I’m on iOS 12.4 and have reinstalled but app won’t play. ... the app has reliably worked forever until just the last few days. Any ideas? ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best music station/app *2026-01-21* 24/7 music. Rarely any ads. I wish all radio stations were like this. I wish i made enough money to be a financial supporter of KUTX. Please keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — TAME *2025-12-31* Love the app! Streams perfectly without any buffering issues unlike some others! ### 5/5 — Alarm *2019-11-09* I wish the app had a alarm to wake to. ❤️ KUTX ### 5/5 — The music. The glorious music. *2019-05-09* The app does all you need it to. Play music, and let you know who the artist is, and the song title. But it’s a full 5 stars for the music played. Just wow. ### 5/5 — Real DJs and music *2018-11-02* Keep up the great work on playing real music and real DJ picking and playing ### 5/5 — You need a heart or like button *2018-10-09* How else can I support your great DJs when they’re out on a limb playing obscurities? Need some real-time heart collection. You can rank the songs by hearts. Also, I think you guys have to teach folks how to stream radio. It’s still new. Hearties from Houston. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2018-07-18* Streams easily and shows the current song as well as previously played. Missed this station so much when I had to move, Love the app. ### 5/5 — One of the last great FM stations *2018-04-15* Fantastic station. I hope they never go the way of WNKU and so many others due to some college administrators greed. Love the ap. The playlist feature is awesome! ### 5/5 — Best Radio Station on the Planet *2018-01-14* 💕💕💕 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
