Stream no longer works

Used to be a great way to listen to this station and great music, but stopped loading the stream with last update.

Sunday

Best music on the air

No more album art on app

Is this just a glitch or is it permanent?

App flickers

App constantly stops and restarts. Happens everywhere.

Great Music, Glitchy App

Love the music but the app is so glitchy that itโ€™s practically unlistenable. Canโ€™t get through a single song without the sound cutting out.

Unlike Grape Ape! Thatโ€™s Kool!

This is a Crap App! Thatโ€™s Not Kool.haha. Great music if you get 88.5 in the LA area. Love these guys. BUT. The App will frustrate you endlessly! Iโ€™ve been reminding them for the last two years. The time Iโ€™ve been living away from LA! Maybe Tom and Rita Hanks can buy them a new Quality APP Broadcasting platform? Or we can continue down the road of pain and suffering donating for mediocre broadcasting. Unlike Grape Ape!

Live Stream Barely Works

Great station. Probably the best public station for music in the country. But the live stream cuts in and out every few seconds. Itโ€™s completely unlistenable. I only keep it to check the playlist for something I heard in the car.

app keeps crashing

absolutely the best music radio anywhere. but - after years of streaming on my iPod touch, it will now NOT stay open for more than 2 seconds. still trying to figure it out. boooo!

App Crashes After Each Song During Live Streaming

The previous update worked fine but ever since I installed v. 2.6.1 it crashes after every song during live streaming.

88.5 fm app needs update to fix crash

This is a great app for listening to my favorite independent music station. Itโ€™s been working great for the past year I have had it on my phone but within the last week, it has been crashing within 10-30 seconds of launch and play hence the 3 stars instead of 5. All my other radio apps work fine so Iโ€™m deducing that thereโ€™s a fly in the ointment within the app itself, nothing to do with my iOS or my internet connection and the bug needs to be squished so to speak. Right now Iโ€™m listening to the station via Safari browser on my phone for uninterrupted play. Please fix!!!

Great update to the app for my favorite station

The new design is much more functional for modern phones. Love the app because now I can listen anywhere outside of my car. Thanks โœŒ๐Ÿป

Radio the way it use to be.

Gary Calamarโ€™s open road show on Sundays is reason enough to download this app, but every DJ on this station has unique style and playlist. The station signal is not strong enough for my car radio. This app makes it easy to hear in crystal clear stereo via blue tooth. Loving my radio again.

Background Playing

Great station but app will not play in the background when listening to archived shows. Audio ceases once lock screen. Fix that, and itโ€™s excellent all the way around.

Great Station, Ok App

Love the music and programming, however the app is clunky. It should be optimized for iPad landscape mode too!

YES!

I love this radio station. Thanks!

I Love kcsn

And even though this app crashes a lot I still love it.
