Had to strain over cellular. -- EricW-Seattle, 2023-07-19 ### *---- "It crashes ALL THE TIME!" It crashes ALL THE TIME -- 1356sea, 2021-07-09 ### ****- "KNKX App Crashes way too much and way too often!" I’m a long time listener of Jazz24 and have been using the KNKX iOS app for almost twenty-four hours. Now, because the website which my WiFi radio is coupled with, has been withdrawn, the KNKX iOS app is the only way I can continue listening to Jazz24. Last night, the app crashed while I was listening. This afternoon noon, the KNKX app has crashed three times while streaming to my August A-link WiFi Speaker. The app crashes A lot!!! This issue, (bug), needs resolving, as this is extremely annoying. -- Treype, 2021-02-13 ### ***** "Long time listener" Just excellent with live programming; really well done! -- BigAl Rich, 2021-01-11 ### **--- "Always Buffering" I don’t donate to NPR because they are left leaning, not the “independent news” they claim. Occasionally, I listen to them to see how they’re twisting news but the app is terrible because it plays for a minute then buffers then plays then buffers. It’s an awful experience. I’m 15 miles from Seattle, this shouldn’t be happening. -- OGHP78, 2020-09-27 ### ***** "Great!" Fabulous. Intuitive user interface, unlike another NPR app I downloaded recently. Provides a list of 'recently played'. Low latency between this feed and the live radio feed. -- CJ345820463aaw, 2018-06-10 ### **--- "Great station... kludgy app." Station's terrific. Using this app on our old iPad results in slow load times and not infrequent crashes. I too prefer the iPad in landscape orientation, which the app doesn't seem to support. Regrettably, I'm back to using the "live radio" feature of the Stitcher app. -- Sleeping in Seattle, 2017-03-02 ### **--- "No longer works for me" App just says "loading" and then eventually crashes. Shame. -- Mattmiz, 2017-02-28 ### ***-- "Please add landscape display for iPad" I have an iPad with iOS10. I primarily use landscape mode. The KNKX mode displays only in portrait mode. This is aggravating. BTW, I am a longtime sustaining member. -- JerryZ51, 2016-11-17 ### *---- "Really Want to Love This App, But..." As others have noted, the app crashes. A lot. I hope the change in station ownership means a change in the streaming player. I really want to love this app as much as I love KNKX. And before anyone asks: Yes, I'm a member. I still try to use the app to stream the station since I have reception issues where I live, lots of tall trees which are great for scenery and ambiance, but not so great for radio (or cell, for that matter) reception. So I tend to stream. And since I've been working from home a LOT more lately, I've been streaming a lot more as well. When I'm at my computer (most of the time), I have no problems streaming the station or Jazz24, but the apps both crash. This one much more often than the Jazz24 app. That strikes me as odd, but there you are. I'm using an iPod Touch (5th Gen) with the latest iOS installed. -- KChuck, 2016-10-05 [View all KNKX Public Radio reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## KNKX Public Radio Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/united-states) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/canada) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/germany) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/taiwan) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/russia) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/united-kingdom) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/france) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/china) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/italy) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/chile) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/egypt) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/greece) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/hong-kong) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/hungary) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/indonesia) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/ireland) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/india) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/japan) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/lebanon) - [North Macedonia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/north-macedonia) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/mexico) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/nigeria) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/norway) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/new-zealand) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/pakistan) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/poland) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/portugal) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/romania) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/saudi-arabia) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/sweden) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/singapore) - [Slovakia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/slovakia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/turkey) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/argentina) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/austria) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/australia) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/azerbaijan) - [Belgium](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/belgium) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/belarus) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/knkx-public-radio-UzKc/switzerland) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
