KCRW Radio

Broken recently. When it worked it was good, but now it won't play anything on either a tablet or phone. Bummer! Edit 15 May22: appears to be working. I don't know what changed, but life is good again.

I love this station but the app could use some work. Like others, I saved dozens of songs in favorites so I could buy them later. This morning though, I was asked to link my spotify account and it wiped my favorites. This is the second time this has happened! Otherwise, it would be great if podcasts could be downloaded for playing at times when I don't have a network connection.

buggy and clearly not optimized for Android. maybe I'll have to up my donation level to get better app support

Been using off and on for a few mos with no issues except — why is there no way to exit the app? Really? You can swipe it away but it's still loaded and will keep reactivating itself. You must go to the trouble of killing the process (”force stop") to stop that. Please add an Exit App option!

I've always had this app on my phone since about 2011. IT HAS NEVER WORKED WELL! It is constantly stopping and needing a reset. What's the point of this app if I have to hit play every 4 minutes? It's been nearly 10 years, how have y'all not fixed your app? How much do I need to donate during your pledge drives to get a decent, working app??

Audio stops playing randomly every few minutes. Sometimes it restarts by itself, other times it doesn't. Always frustrating. Based on other comments, this is not a new issue.

The KCRW app was my go to app for music while on the road, at work, while cleaning up the place. But recently it stopped working on Android. I hope this issue can be fixed soon.

I'm reinstalling in an attempt to play recorded shows. I can't play anything now. Will update if it works, as they're a great station and when working this new app is a tremendous resource.

You can't easily close the app on Android phone (Moto G). Annoying. And it keeps cutting off for no apparent reason. It just stopped now! More annoying. Shame because the station is definitely 5 stars.

Worked fine up until I upgraded my phone to Android 10. This app is unusable as it crashes my phone and goes to a black screen telling me that my phone is possibly corrupted and that I should do a factory reset.

Something has broken the mobile app for Android. I press play on the latest episode of Metropolis, and nothing happens. This is a go to music app for me, and as a transplant to the East Coast, a must have. Please fix asap, and take my money.

Not compatible with Android Auto???

A unique, adventure that voyages you through a musical world of unexpected cultural appreciation points, exhilarating audio endorphins, rest stops, groove boutiques, and contemplation chapels. Give me more, I love the vast diversity. Thankyou KCRW ECLECTIC24.

Best music for A Long Time... NPR News. Local activities etc..

Poor app. Hijacks links then doesn't do anything with them. Option to turn off 'open supported links' is greyed out. Had to delete app to see any news stories linked from Facebook, which then open fine in my browser. Too many other bugs to list.

not great app. only works for a short period of time then when the phone goes dark it stops. have to constantly go back and restart. disappointing

JK - Instead of full music program playback playing, only short song clips can be heard. I don't want to be forced to download spotify app to use this one.

Works amazing for a 3 star app. Do it.

Honestly I love KCRW but I've never been able to use their app successfully on an android over a period of years. Today's issue: I navigate to MBE, hit play, does nothing. I undetstand they're a not for profit but I would pay $$$$ for a better android app, charge a premium and make some cash off it! Anyone else with me?
