KERA Public Media App

KERA is one of the very best NPR stations. Love it.

Good app, only 3 days used. Love I can that I can launch KERA Live with one click on app unlike NPR app. Like local news list. Requesting easy way to also go to NPR articles and news. Maybe it already has it ? Would be nice to have iPhone shortcut support.

I love that I get to hear my favorite stations wherever I go! I do get frustrated when the station won’t load, or keeps pausing to give me a “commercial” in the middle of a story or a great song I am trying to hear.i have to reload it too often to get it unstuck.

When it works it’s okay, but it frequently freezes up. Then again, KERA frequently has dead air, so I guess it’s reflective of its source.

In the time using the app, no problems for me. I am sure problems mentioned by others will improve.

The app is way better than it used to be. I’m glad to have my local NPR station easily accessible on my phone whenever I want it.

What’s not to love about KERA? Among the best public radio stations in the US! Listening while away form a radio is the bomb. But the recording controls are in bad need of an overhaul - they don’t work. If you want to hear that last 10 seconds again, the “back 10 seconds” button is greyed out. It stays that way until you use the slider (as precise as a sledge hammer), which then gets you lost in the broadcast. Plus, if you then move off the app to take a phone call, say, your place in a recording evaporates when you next switch back to the KERA app. Love KERA - like the app - but please fix the controls!

The app’s feature set is fine, but when playing back audio it goes silent and buffers every 5 minutes or so. It’s annoying enough that I’m considering a different station as my NPR feed.

Having the app keeps me connected even when I’m over seas.

I like the new version. Plays well and is intuitive in function.
