What a great update!
Mike M, NYC
Really enjoying the updated app, thank you! I have been using it literally everyday to and from work since the update. It is intuitive and has the essential features, and I really love the ability to save favorites and have quick access to the playlist. I should note that I tried using the older app a couple of times, but resorted to streaming KEXP through a different radio app (which was much less enjoyable). This update was quite welcome! A few suggestions for future updates: 1. It would be great to have favorites synced across devices (and maybe website) via an optional user registration. 2. Adding lanscape support for iPad would be great; I use iPad at home with a keyboard stand, and looking at the playlist sideways is a little awkward. 3. Support for player controls (with song title display) in the lock screen would be a nice touch. 4. This is defintiely a wishlist suggestion, but the ability to download archived shows to device would be a lifesaver as a subway rider :) Thanks again for the app update (and the great music!!!!), and looking forward to the next update! -Mike M., NYC, listening since 2003
Needed update came through with streaming archive functionality

The best part of KEXP's website is the streaming archive, which I've never been able to get working on my phone. This app got it working. I had to restart my iPhone after loading it but now working without a hitch. And it says that Spotify functionality is coming. Sonos the functionality would make it complete.
"Unsupported" in car. Archived shows won't work

This app is great if you want to listen in live time but I cannot get it to last long in my car without "device unsupported" appearing on my dash panel. ALL other radio apps work in my car just fine. Archived shows don't show up. Always defaults to the same Afternoon Show. I live away from Seattle now and really miss the blues show and Greg Vandy. Perhaps my age is unable to decipher what is intuitive to everyone else? I've downloaded every iteration. Is there a class or a video that I can watch to make this work? (Arrrrgh)
Love kexp, hate this app

Why does the music constantly cut out when I use this app? It's so irritating I just wanna listen to KEXP
On the right track.

Major improvements with the app. There have been a few issues with the streaming show archive though. There is no longer an option to jump to a certain point in the show (or I haven't found it yet). If the streaming stops for any reason during the show it makes you start from the beginning (hence the need to fast forward). There have been a few times when the streaming archive did not start. Update: streaming show archive is not working at all now. 9/12/17
Worked fine for years then...

it just stopped. It looks pretty and all, but it does not work now.
It was good for a little bit

I was thrilled when the latest update finally fixed the streaming archive problems! Too bad that only lasted about a month. RIP streaming archives. :( Then again, their website's archives seem to always have issues as well. Additionally, I feel as if the quality is better when using the TuneIn app.
Add Chromcast support?

Currently I use TuneIn instead of this app when listening on my home stereo since I’d rather hand off the streaming duties from my phone (via airplay to stereo) to the CCast. But I don’t trust that TuneIn is giving me the same bit rate quality as the KEXP app. And of course, I can’t listen to the show archive via TuneIn. Add CCast support and I’ll give 5 stars for an otherwise cool app. And yes, I am a proud monthly Amplifier!
Playing catch up. Please keep going...

Woohoo! They’re up to 3 stars! The fact that I’m so excited about this getting up to 3-star land reflects just how horrible this app has been over the last few years. With the amount of money that listeners have pledged to KEXP over the years and how much of our collective listening is done online, it is ridiculous how much they have neglected the app. The app SHOULD be a portal to access all of their archived live shows and all their videos as well. But I can dream... I’d settle for this working in landscape on the iPad so I don’t have to turn myself sideways to choose a show. Seriously, just make this not look ugly and I’d bump it to a four star review. That is where the bar is set... And dare I wish for CarPlay compatibility? As usual, I’d be willing to throw a nice pledge your way once you show some commitment to adding to the app. Sarcasm here aside, I’m heartened that the app actually works and seems to be getting much needed attention. Please, please, please keep it up!
