Garbage

With the latest update for ipad, now I can't listen with a Bluetooth earbud. At least you got your ad. Your annoying preroll ads won't do you any good without listeners.

What a buggy mess. It won’t let me stream podcasts from last week. They sacrificed basic functionality to fix the glitch that let you skip the app-specific ad placement. Why do mobile listeners need to hear an extra advertisement? We already hear every commercial from Kars4Kids to Patriot Software just like everyone using the radio.
New Update not User Friendly

There is no way to search audio in a Pod Cast. You have to listen to the whole hour even if the audio you want is in the last portion. Was previously very useable. No longer! Frustrating!
Newest update Horrible 3/8/21

The update, about a week ago, has ruined this app. It now makes you listen to an extra commercial before you get to content... and it already seems like more commercials than actual content. The worst is it constantly keeps just stopping.... and usually right when the news begins, you sure won’t be missing any commercials. You then need to restart and get to listen to the extra commercial again. I will be trying to listen through TuneIn radio app or some other way. I so hope they fix this. Please fix!
Commercials

So every time I open the app, I have to wait for the apps commercials to finish, before the live broadcast starts which also has commercials of its own. I get the live broadcast having commercials, but why does the app have commercials separate from the live broadcast. Also, the apps live feed stops and is interrupted by the apps commercials, forcing me to wait for them to finish. There should be no app commercials when you start the live broadcast
Ruined the podcast experience

If you use the app to stream podcasts of the shows, don’t update to this version! I made the mistake of doing so with their sister station KTTH. The shows are no longer listed by hour in chronological order, and they no longer auto play into the next hour. This makes the app useless for streaming in the background, say while driving or at work, unless you can afford to stop what you’re doing every 30 minutes and play the next hour.
Update is a downgrade

Disappointing how seldom the news stories are updated. Some stories stay in the feed for days-weeks. I know KIRO is reporting new stories daily, why is this updated so randomly? Also, the scroll through the headlines is no longer smooth since the last update/change. Annoying.
Podcast don’t work after update

I mainly used this app to stream podcasts, but since I updated it recently it doesn’t work anymore. Is there a way to uninstall an update?

There are now forced commercials every time you tune in via this application or on Alexa. I actually avoid switching to KIRO when listening via an app to get away from the insipid announcements before the content.
