User Friendly

Easy to use & as others have observed the app does not lose contact as some others are wont to do, which is great when listening to music.
Keep up the good work!

Stuck in San Mateo!

An entirely useless application that doesn’t want to be in broadcasting. Instead, policing the users’ zip codes. Never mind the station can’t pick up your location even when everything is opened up! All for micro managing the users’ viewing span to San Mateo only. Really!!!

KQED seems to be taking the crown of covering all of the Bay Area and leaving KRCB OUT TO DRY!

Good luck getting on with just the San Mateo donations.

Well done!

Works fine

Ive been using the app for about a month now to listen to live radio. It’s worked fine every time. Haven’t had any problems.

Northern California PBS…

Very easy to use, the “ change the PBS Station” feature-is my favourite-to select from numerous PBS local station areas is great- because station programs change from area to area, good program scheduling choices especially in early commute or evening times. The scheduling charts could be easier to use. Would like more PBS video selections available without the PBS “passport” requirements. NewsHour,Yamish Alcindor, Firing Line, Finding Your Roots, Nature,and the Science, Drama & Mystery Series, Odd Squad, and Specials are the very best! Thank You PBS

A nice simple app for me that works with a screen reader.

I find that this is a pretty nice and simple app (if needed) that works pretty nicely using VoiceOver with my iPhone. I use it for listening to KRCB radio, and like the fact that it is really easy to just open it and the radio plays without having to look for the play button! Many thanks.

Easy and informative radio listening

Perfect. Only one or two clicks to listen live. No muss, no fuss.

No access to livestream

Tried and tried to watch ICT Newscast. Frustrating!

Local!

It’s great to have a local NPR affiliate with its own mobile app. That feels very good.
The app works fine and it’s great to have the Firecast feature so that we can see what’s going on with fires in one place.

KRCB

What a wonderful station. I am enjoying the many shows, both local and national!
Thank you for supporting our community!!!

Like.

So far this app doesn’t cut off streaming the way many public radio apps do. One feature I’d like: the ability to go back or forward by 15 or 30 second increments. Many other apps have this feature.

Fabulous!

I live on the East Coast, but listen to KCRB via the app almost everyday. Shows like "Lady Spins the Blues" and "Percussion Discussion" are very special and keep me connected to the North Bay.

Doesn't work

It's not easy to listen to, since the live streaming has never worked

KRCBest!

The hub. What's going on. Mark Prell's crisp and bracing vocal timbre, local reports, Brian, Doug, Hilary, NPR feed, the three wise men of jazz, so many more great folks. I'm thankful to you all for making my life happier and better informed. Ex: Just heard Brian play some Sons of Champlin! Life So Delicious. Old and new. Missed classical programming for a brief time. Now "more cool stuff."

Krcb

App is horrible
I just want to find out what playing, and I can find it
Even touching what's playing leads to irrelevant stuff

Works sometimes

On both my iPhone and iPad, this app begins streaming and then within 10 min usually just stops. I restart it and same thing happens. Also sound quality not great. Hope they can improve it.

Fabulous App

Wonderful app that gives me my daily dose of public radio!
