### 5/5 — One of the best radio stations in the world

*2023-05-20, version 4.6.3*

Love KXT, the app is easy to use and its sound quality is richer than streaming KXT via iHeart / TuneIn / 🍏music. Very satisfied listener.

### 5/5 — This is how I discover new music

*2023-04-03, version 4.6.3*

Nothing bad to say, app is user friendly, detailed and just plain simple in the best way. I get a huge chunk of my music from this station and I’m glad it’s here

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-03-25, version 4.5.62*

Big fan of public radio but I also like listening to music. In particular new music that I haven’t heard and don’t normally hear on other stations. This alone makes this app awesome because I can listen anywhere I want.

### 5/5 — One of the best apps around.

*2023-03-09, version 4.5.62*

Works great. Is easy to use. Best music ever. Love it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-07-07, version 4.5.49*

I love having this station available 24/7, it’s so much nicer than one of those automatically generated stations

### 5/5 — Best thing since sliced bread.

*2022-01-16, version 4.5.25*

KXT rocks!

### 5/5 — Great while traveling

*2021-12-28, version 4.5.25*

I listened daily while recently in Ecuador. A little bit of home traveling with me. KXT is the best.

### 5/5 — I forgot how much I missed it

*2021-12-04, version 4.5.25*

I returned to Dallas for Thanksgiving last week for first time in 2 years. I totally forgot how great this station is. We have nothing like this in the Chicago burbs. It’s my new go-to!

### 5/5 — Works Fine

*2021-10-11, version 4.5.25*

I have never had a problem with the app. It has a lot more than just a radio streamer.

### 5/5 — Everything you need …

*2021-09-27, version 4.5.25*

All you need in one platform to be entertained, informed, and engaged! Thankyou for broadening my exposure to all this amazing music and talent in this Universe we inhabit together!!!!

### 5/5 — My favorite music application

*2021-09-24, version 4.5.24*

Works flawlessly.  Gives me access to music that I enjoy listening too.   AD free music is so great to have..

### 5/5 — Best npr music N Texas

*2021-08-27, version 4.5.18*

While I’m not a native my cousin went to UT and this station became one of her favs She got me hooked this station! There are only a few outstanding npr music channels This one is tip top 💯💯💯😊

### 5/5 — Great station

*2021-08-26, version 4.5.18*

Best station

### 5/5 — KXT - very nice variety of music

*2021-08-24, version 4.5.18*

This station is great listening with very little talk. A refreshing audio experience!

### 5/5 — KXT is the GOAT

*2021-08-22, version 4.5.18*

Only radio station worth the airwaves, zero commercials and best music selection, reliable app and plays loud in the car.

### 5/5 — Great music

*2021-07-25, version 4.5.18*

KXT always plays a good variety of music styles and local artists

### 5/5 — Love KXT!

*2021-05-31, version 4.4.69*

Proud to be a member of this station!  The app is great. KXT plays a very unique mixture of classic rock, alternative, folk, country, and postmodern rock from artists from all locales, including North Texas. I love Soundtrack at Seven Monday through Friday, and also Funky Fridays. I wish the station would pick up Sound Opinions (miss it when I lived in Chicago and listened to it on WXRT and WBEZ) and some of the Sunday evening programming is not my favorites, but, overall, KXT has been an essential companion of my first year in the Metroplex!

### 1/5 — Love the music, app blows

*2019-01-04, version 3.9.24*

I loved KXT, one of my favorite stations ever, but when I stream through the app on my phone, eventually it makes a burping sound and then it sounds like my speaker is underwater. Very frustrating!

### 1/5 — Experiencing problems with the app

*2018-06-21, version 3.8.40*

In the last month I am experiencing problems streaming on all devices. The sound is very hollow and metallic. This has been my family’s favorite app but we have found the recent streaming issues prevent our ability to enjoy the station.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2017-12-19, version 3.8.36*

KXT and KERA are absolutely great. This horrible app makes them almost impossible to listen to. On KERA, multiple, Ill-timed commercials often interrupt the SAME story. The feed will often simply stop for 30 seconds or a minute, the restart all on its own.

I’m on a new phone using the current version of the app. Other streaming apps - both radio and television - work flawlessly. This app does not, and I’m done. I’ll listen in the car, but this app is useless.

### 2/5 — Music doesn’t play

*2018-05-16, version 3.8.40*

My app used to work over a year ago... now I can’t listen to the station. :( I press play and it changes back to giving me the play button and won’t.

### 4/5 — Why three choices?

*2025-05-10, version 6.2.27*

So it’s labeled the KXT app, but it’s really one for KXT and KERA and WRR. Why must I choose? Give station each its own app

### 4/5 — Please move the play button

*2025-04-05, version 6.2.27*

Hello! Member here. Will GLADLY up my rating to 5 stars if this is fixed:

The play button being in the far left corner on the bottom is such a pain to reach as a right-handed person while on the go.

May not sound like a huge deal, but I listen on my phone multiple times a day and I’m tired of overextending my thumb 😭 

I’d recommend something similar to the NPR One app in the top center, or bottom right.

### 4/5 — Awesome playlists

*2024-04-28, version 4.6.38*

Glad to be a member. KXT programs great music and always feels like a great mix of new and venerable.
One bug however; in Carplay, the song playing doesn't update. Always stuck on the first song when you started the app.

### 4/5 — Great app great station

*2020-11-19, version 4.4.62*

Without this app I could not listen in Virginia.

### 4/5 — Excellent station, app is also very good.

*2020-07-17, version 4.4.62*

App is reliable, which is job #1.  

Sounds good enough, but you can tell it’s streaming audio on headphones.  (Why it’s not 5 stars, just a little room for improvement like most streaming services.)

### 4/5 — Great App, but could use improvements

*2019-09-25, version 4.4.13*

Could be a little more optimized, maybe put your online stream at the forefront of the app home page. The play button at the bottom of the screen works well enough with the control screen pop-up, but it could look better. Maybe something along the lines of Spotify’s or Apple Music’s UI. Overall, great app for what it is.

### 5/5 — Brilliant station. Brilliant App.

*2025-01-06, version 6.2.17*

Listen all of the time and enjoy app the programmes.  We listen from Isle of Man but lived in the DFW area for a few years. Keep up the good work and thank you for bringing great music and information we can’t hear anywhere else on earth.

### 5/5 — My favorite radio station.

*2024-10-21*

Been a fan of kxt for a while and to see it grow and to become apart of it is awesome. Having the app to be able to listen wherever I am is so cool!!!!

### 5/5 — KXT is the best by a long shot!

*2024-06-22, version 4.6.38*

This app is a fantastic companion…makes looking up current and past songs, as well as concert events, a breeze…

### 5/5 — Love!!

*2024-05-25, version 4.6.38*

My favorite radio station has an app?! Yes please! We spend a lot of time outside and having it running while I’m in the garden or enjoying the patio is a win!
