I only would like to see a much more complete listing of what is going playing. Otherwise, love the ability to hear what's playing on the station or switch to the Symphony channel.
Have enjoyed for a year, but lately music on Evergreen keeps stopping every 10 min or so.
Stays in memory after shutdown. Phone has to be restarted to remove from memory.
Please add the ability to cast audio.
This station plays J.S. Bach midday Seattle time from Monday to Friday.
I like the variety of channels with the different music, depending on my feelings and moods. I especially The Christmas Channel during the holiday season.
Just love the programming
Current update (9/25/17?) works in background with other apps, in shallow subways on BART, loads and changes channels faster than before. Sometimes current programming data on ch. 2-5 is incorrect or freezes. KING program director has been responsive.
The newly designed interface is a step backwards from the previous one that featured a simple design containing the player and Seattle skyline. Uninstalling...
I'm lucky if I get 10 minutes of listening before it stops. Doesn't matter if it's WiFi or 4G both stop constantly.
I've had major challenges with this app in regards to it freezing my phone and then causing it to reboot automatically. I don't know why this happens but whenever I play the app after approximately 3-5 songs my phone completely freezes. Otherwise this is great, amazing music and the ease of use of this app is terrific
The evergreen station will not play or work. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but the station still doesn't work. Please fix that problem because I LOVE that station and I want it to work again.
Great, but be better on my SD card, will not let move it.
The new version is fantastic. So many listening choices and features! I would pay money for this. Instead, of course, I'll donate to my favorite public radio station!
Freezes/closes 80℅ of time - playing thru browser works MUCH better...
Used to work on my phone. Uninstalled by itself, and now will not reinstall. What the hell happened? This is is bizarre.
The best in beautiful, quiet, thoughtful classical music and beyond.
Full operas, back to back, all day long. What's not to love about this station?
It works and has variety across channels. ;-)
WORK'S GREAT ON MY NEXUS TABLET. HAD THIS APP.FOR YEARS.NO COMMERCIALS .!!
Enjoying the opera
A fine accompaniment to one of the finest radio stations in the world. The perfect compliment to KEXP, Seattle's other equally great radio station.
I moved away from Seattle, but wanted to take my Classical radio station with me. I started with Next Radio FM (a good radio app), but connection can still be quite spotty in that app. Upon installing this app, you can keep up with not just the regular radio station, but a variety of "channels" hosted by KING. I'm a solid fan of KING for one large reason: despite still having commercials, all commercials are broadcast by the station's own DJs (seemingly), leading to a smooth, unjarring listening experience. My favourite parts? The Evergreen channel, and The Score on weekends on the main channel looks at movie and other media scores. Lots of fun! Lots of learning!
