KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM

Feels like it was developed by first time app developers. 1. 15 second ad roll every time the app opens. Which is often because it crashes often. 2. Crashes all the time. Used to be able to switch to video when the player stopped streaming. But when you switch back to audio. It crashes. 3. Randomly stops playing. 4. Switch to the podcasts for most of the content but so many ads. Down hill is the only way this app goes.

I don’t need all fancy functions!

I stopped using this app when these privacy leaches decided you must give up your data to hear their content. Imagine turning on your car radio and being forced to share your info? No thanks.

I just wanted to listen to the radio on my phone. I had to sign up, provide a password, and confirm by responding to an email. The email never came. I kept trying. No email. Yes, my email address was correct. What are they trying to protect that they frustrate potential listeners?

Used to just download and listen… not a fan of ur nosy requirements

This app used to be great but now only streams like a minute or so and just suddenly stops. Not happy at all. The 710 Sports version crashes too. I can’t listen to Mariners games anymore due to this. Very frustrating! It doesn’t matter how good of a connection you have on WIFI or cellular. I have tried deleting app and reinstalling but doesn’t help. Yes my iPhone is up to date. Please fix! Thanks. BTW in leaving this review, there are no stars to select.

Not happy about the new registration requirement and even more unhappy that a separate registration is required for Seattle Sports 710am. It’s the same company! I’ve deleted the Seattle Sports app and will delete KIRO when I find a different stream for local news.

A buggy app that plays commercials frequently NOW requires a log in. Not worth the ‘free’. Deleting it right now.

When listening to the podcasts, or saved shows, the app crashes ALL the time! I’ve had 4-5 app crashes in a 1 hour episode (Hot Stove Society) regularly in the past month. Love Kiro, love Hot Stove. If the developers could get this resolved I would love to give you a 5.

When the app upgraded I was now required to register, which at that point was not required. When I did click to register the app informed me that I was giving Bonneville permission to use my information. I promptly deleted this app.
