### 5/5 — Sure

*2024-03-20, version 8.4*

Sweetness

### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!

*2024-03-17, version 8.4*

K-ZAP App music playlist is like having 4-6 rock music fans who vary in age by 50 years throw all their music collections into a random pile and then play each of thousands of songs one by one. The “suits” in charge of Classic rock radio stations play the same ~100 songs OVER AND OVER! Thank you K-ZAP!!

### 5/5 — The Best Rick n Roll

*2024-02-13, version 8.4*

It’s been the best since the early 80’s when I was on night crew in Livermore.

### 5/5 — First Listen Blew My Socks Off

*2023-09-19, version 8.4*

A mutual dog-park person told me about the DJs on this station and about the musical genre this station is dedicated to and supports. 

Put the app on my phone, and  CSN&Y’s “Country Girl” from Déjà Vu was playing. Wow, I have not heard that for years. The next song was by Nirvana, with those grainy, raw, vulnerable-sounding vocals. 

I don’t know what else to say. Just fantastic to have this station in our area. It does Sacramento proud.

### 5/5 — Best station ever !!

*2023-09-13, version 8.4*

Listening in Austin Tx. Love this website !!       McGregor I say crank it with Make It Out Alive !!! Killer good🤘🤘🤘

### 5/5 — So glad I have K-Zap in Sac!

*2023-09-06, version 8.4*

Non profit radio is wonderful!  I love limited ads. And that is why I financially support K-Zap so I can continue to enjoy it!  Great mix of music from my teenage years to new stuff from both older artists and folks I’ve never heard of. Yeah, for a great station!

### 5/5 — Yay Mick!!

*2023-09-03, version 8.4*

So glad to hear Mick Martin is landing at K-ZAP! Been listening to the Blues Party for some 30 years on Public Radio, and was shocked to learn he (and others) had been unceremoniously shown the door. I promptly donated to K-ZAP and promise to continue my support. Thank you for all you do.

### 5/5 — Best

*2023-08-17, version 8.4*

Greatest mix my best

### 5/5 — Good to hear KZAP

*2023-06-30, version 8.4*

I grew up in Sacramento but moved to east coast so being able to tune in my favorite station of my youth is great.

### 5/5 — Classic!!!

*2023-06-05, version 8.4*

Great stuff , great music. You guys, with the exception of that poor mixed upScott Forrington ——where’d you guys find that crazed little psychotic anyway , are great. 
Keep it up, pleeeez. 

( just kidding , Scott makes my weekend, you little psycho.

### 5/5 — Best radio station on the planet

*2023-01-19, version 8.3*

The true testament to this station is the amount of new music it will cause you to download. The number of new artists I heard on my satellite rock channels was zero. I’ve probably added albums from 40 new bands I would have never learned about on the other station. I grew up on K-ZAP and it’s so nice to still have it.

### 5/5 — Great music mix and it’s free!

*2022-07-06, version 8.3*

Better than radio because there’s no ads :)

### 5/5 — Variety is the Spice of Life

*2022-03-26, version 8.3*

Unlike all the other stations which recycle a rotation of the same songs, K-ZAP playlist is just phenomenal, seemingly infinite. Guaranteed you won’t hear the same song twice in the same week or even month. Not just oldie but goodie top 20 list blasts from the past but also rarities and b-sides. Keep ROCKIN K-ZAP !!!

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!!

*2022-01-30, version 8.3*

I love KZAP cuz they play different stuff and they really know great music!!!!  Thank you KZAP!!!!  Keep up the amazing work!!!  You also play some of my favorite jams!!!

### 5/5 — Love you cats!

*2022-01-07, version 8.3*

So, so good! I am in love with you guys!

### 5/5 — very cool

*2021-12-27, version 8.3*

Great k-zap is back!  Grew up with this station

### 5/5 — Reliving my Past

*2021-12-14, version 8.3*

I have loved this station since I was 5 and it was a consistent background while growing up into adulthood in Sacramento. Now that I live in Wisconsin, it’s a piece of my hometown I can have with me again. Love it!!

### 5/5 — Deja Vu

*2021-12-07, version 8.3*

If you loved K-ZAP before, you will definitely love it again. ❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Great stuff

*2021-11-01, version 8.3*

So happy K-Zap is going! Cool old and new music.

### 2/5 — Good ol’ days

*2021-11-02, version 8.3*

I grew up with K-ZAP from its beginning.  Great DJs.  Great music.  They played entire albums.  Played a featured album one night a week.  We were free to call and request a song anytime we wanted to.  Oh well.  That was then.  This is now.

### 4/5 — KZAP is back!

*2015-07-31, version 6.28.0*

KZAP is back. Virtually no commercials, plays several songs in a row before talking, playlist is full of older less-played rock songs, a lot like the old album-rock FM days. I used to listen in the 70's as I was passing through Sac from SF to Tahoe. It’s my fav FM station now. The app is good and works well, but it stopped showing the current song and artist and has been frozen on Jackson Browne for a few days. It plays fine, just the current song info is frozen. I hope they fix it soon. It was great to hear a great old song and be able to see the name and artist.

### 4/5 — Takes me back to High School

*2015-07-11, version 6.28.0*

Love the music and the DJ's. Just like listening to radio back in the 70's. But also like radio back then the app gives no artist info, just the live stream home page. Very basic app with no bells & whistles just great music and actual people talking between songs.

### 5/5 — New and Blues

*2026-01-10, version 8.4*

I appreciate KZAP for the new rock but also for incorporating blues in your programming  Friday’s at 5pm. Nice choice for the Blues Party host. Kyle has the chops to carry on what Mick Martin started.

### 5/5 — Love K-ZAP!

*2025-09-19, version 8.4*

KZAP plays such a great variety of old and new music.  I also enjoy listening to new music from groups and individuals from the past.  
I was just  preparing dinner, tired because I'm battling cancer and I'm very tired at time. KZAP just played the Kings' the beat goes on/switching to glide. Suddenly, I have energy, I'm dancing and singing. Where did my fatigue go? Thank you, KZAP!❤️

### 5/5 — Still K-ZAP !!!

*2025-09-06, version 8.4*

I’ve missed you guys!! So much…

### 5/5 — Decorated playlist

*2025-06-12, version 8.4*

What an awesome station. A good mix of quality classic and current music. I was pleased to hear an old Montrose song that no other station dares to play.

### 5/5 — Great Music, Great Radio Station - the app is good basic app

*2025-04-17, version 8.4*

This app has really only one function that it is good at - being able to listen to K-ZAP radio in Sacramento, CA. The DJ and the music is outstanding - they are not an ordinary classic rock station - they play music from 1965 to 2015 and the cuts from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s are ones besides just the top hits - and they throw in the occasional blues song and other formats that are fit with AOR music. My beef with the app is it does't do much else - it doesn't show the stations top tunes, recent playlist, the ability to vote on songs, discuss music - check out the app for Radio Paradise for what a real radio app can be. That being said - I do listen and really enjoy the great music and DJs of KZAP - hopefully they will get an app that's as good as the station someday

### 5/5 — Faithful listener

*2024-12-24, version 8.4*

### 5/5 — KZAP in Germany, Poland, Czech Republic and Lithuania

### 5/5 — KZHP (K-ZAP) Sacramento

*2024-09-09, version 8.4*

50 years of album rock. They never play the same music more than once a day. Guaranteed to get you to hear rare music

### 5/5 — KZAP the coolest

*2024-07-19, version 8.4*

Reminds me of when I was a kid. DJ’s were fun and you never new what they were going to play next.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2024-04-09, version 8.4*

Great station, reminds me of when i listened to WNEW FM back in the day
