But… too much button pressing. When you first open you are presented with some choice which is great but prob most ppl just want to listen. To listen you press bottom left then to start the stream you press center left and the play/pause button jumps back down to bottom left. If you pause it, the play button then goes hiding out of sight and to get it to start playing again you have to press once where the button is hiding for it to show itself and again to resume playing. Suggestion: when you open the app just have one big button for play/pause in the middle of the screen. So you open the app and just press one obvious button to have you off and running. You can put all the other choices around the edges of the screen. The other thing is the app almost never recovers when my phone switches signal strength like flipping from 5G to LTE and back I will usually have to open the phone and hit play/pause a couple times. The problem is persistent because I’m mostly using the app when I’m riding or driving so yer gonna be pinging different towers. This problem has me using third party apps to listen but they have their own issues. Anyway keep up the good work, listening to you guys on a dedicated app is def what I prefer. iPhone 15 plus running 17.1.1 ### 3/5 — KXLU rules. App? Not so much *2023-02-22, version 5.6.2* I leave this on all day long, but lately the app constantly quits. Have to restart ever half hour or so. Difficult to stream station via browser as well. Both vehicles seem “buggy”. Time for an update? (iOS 16.1.1) ### 4/5 — App Good *2022-12-02, version 5.6.2* Love this station and use the app constantly/every day. It has been bugging lately though maybe needs an update. Just pausing on its own and then just won’t play until I close and reopen. Sometimes crashes right when you open it. I’m still happy to have it. iPhone 12 running 16.1.1 ### 1/5 — Lazy *2022-06-02, version 5.6.2* Can’t even tell what song is playing. Please copy KEXP or the Current 89.3’s platform ### 5/5 — Best station ever apps ok too *2021-04-22, version 5.6.2* Use to live stream KXLU Sounds great over speakers I would strongly suggest getting this If you want the best contemporary music on the planet🤙🤙🤙 ### 1/5 — UPDATE PLEASE!! *2020-10-24, version 5.6.2* Ten stars for the station, one star for the app. ### 2/5 — App needs serious work *2020-02-20, version 5.6.2* Favorite button does nothing, can’t view what song is currently playing, useless screens when going to live station. The only thing it does is let’s me listen to this great station, unfortunately most of the songs will disappear forever because I won’t know what they are. At least copy KCRW’s app. They’re right next to you. ### 5/5 — Night drives & Morning drives (Mukta) *2016-05-26, version 5.4.2* Love the station-Tune in Wednesday mornings for Mukta on my way to the office. And listen on way back home. Really like what you guys do with this station-gratzi ### 5/5 — Fantastic for a radio app *2015-11-21, version 5.4.2* It works well, and it's interactive. Far better produced than even some 'Big Radio' station apps. ## Frequently asked questions about KXLU 88.9FM ### What is KXLU 88.9FM's rating and how many reviews does it have?
