Ratings and reviews

I love KUOW and have been listening every day for years, but the new app had been very disappointing. It constantly disconnects due to a "network error" that only impacts this app, which means I have to keep rejoining and keep missing the stories, shows, and news I was listening to. It's incredibly frustrating, particularly from a station I love.

Works okay. I almost exclusively use the live stream feature. One major point of annoyance -- and what drives my three star score -- is that the stream doesn't automatically pause when Bluetooth disconnects. Instead, it toggles to the device speaker, which breaks UX conventions and is a real pain as I have to manually pause the stream in the app to prevent NPR from mumbling in my pocket.

There's a lot to hear, but also a lot of bugs. Just now it insists there's no on-line connection while all other apps work. Went thru a period where this app took over my phone by playing when turned off, etc. It would be better if the darn thing just played the current programming instead of all the bells & whistles that are full of bugs.
