Ratings and reviews

I want to love this as much as I loved the old app. I like the visual updates. My problem is with the livestream. Other reviews have mentioned that when I disconnect or pause the livestream, it starts playing from where I paused it while the real time playlist shows the current song information. I was disconnected for 3 hours today and when I went back to my car, it started playing the song from 3 hours ago. It's impossible to get back to the livestream even killing the app. Have to restart.

This app seems like it was not tested at all before release. The app crashes all the time when I try to listen to an archived show. It takes forever to recognize that I tap on a show that I am looking for. The live stream does not work properly. The new interface doesn't show the song titles when i play from the archive. I love KEXP, but I can't listen to Mechanical Breakdown, Sonic Reducer or JITM. I wish I could go back to the old app.

Updated for 5/23 release. 1) Battery drain issue persists-the app still constantly runs in the background and destroys my battery life 2) Playback controls still missing from lock screen. Navigation is limited to 5-minute fast-forward jumps instead of the previous track-skipping function - which means I can't skip tracks in the car or with Google Assistant voice commands. 3) Fixed -archived shows now pick up where you left off. Overall, it feels like core usability was traded flashier interface
