Ratings and reviews

I have taken a real liking to classical music just within the last year. I first heard KDFC on my way from San Francisco, the music sort of GRABBED me. When I heard there was a music app I installed it right away. After installing the app, I would continuously have to reset it sometimes after less than a minute but sometimes it would play for over 20 minutes before shutting off. After a year, I kind of just stopped listening to the app because it was shutting off more often. I installed the app on my new phone and noticed it was an updated app...AND NOW...no more shutting off! I can enjoy the music with zero interruptions. Thank you for updating and improving the app.

I love the music and have been a fan of the station for years. But the app is problematic. The home page just doesn't keep up with what's playing. Right now it's still showing the piece that was playing when I opened the app an hour ago. And the playlist doesn't really keep up to date either. If I stop the playback and restart, it doesn't help. Only canceling out of the app entirely and restarting it.

Since I don't have a radio in my home, I rely on the app for my connection to KDFC. The app has a few glitches: stopping once in a while and I have to manually re-start it, and, without me doing anything, the app will switch from their live show to one of their playlists and need to switch it back. These are not phone-related; happened with both my old & new phones. ALSO, these phenomena do not occur when I listen to classical music via WQXR & WPLN. To me the app still rates 5 stars though.
