App frequently stops. Every few minutes. Almost impossible to enjoy due to constantly having to restart and waiting to buffer. Disappointing because I love KJZZ and wish I could listen!

Chip Bosse

This app stops playing every few minutes and has to be re-started. This is very annoying. Please fix it! I am using theTuneIn app to listen to KJZZ and that works very well.

Chris Knox

Unstable - frequent stops. Clunky design that won't display horizontally.

Steve Palmer

Why excessive rights req? More than needed for purpose of the app. ;(

Levi Busby

Playback stops on my Pixel shortly after device enters idle mode (when the screen is off) this is keeping me from listening in and interrupting my favorite shows. Already talked to Google support and they said this issue is on your end. Please check it out when you can

Creepy integrated Nielsen code is tracking your usage. App doesn't support landscape mode for tablets. Streaming crashes regularly.

Love kjzz for NPR but it cuts out every 2-10 min

Mamady Ndaworo Bayo December 27, 2016

BBC world news Keeps me informed.

Alarm doesn't work (Samsung S4) alarm button doesn't show on or off so you have to guess which way is on. That doesn't matter because in either position it won't work. KBAQ alarm works great (it buffers and plays) but I prefer KJZZ in the morning. SLEEP TIMER IS GREAT

Karen Joy September 17, 2016

Looks great, cuts out often The updated version of this app looks a lot better than the last one, and there are many more ways to engage the app than previously. But, it is extremely frustrating, as it cuts out every 2-15 minutes.

Rae Anderson September 20, 2016

So disappointed I love kjzz. I love to listen to it as a part of my morning routine you. Unfortunately I have tried this app over and over and over again and can never get more than 10 minutes out of it.

Brianna McGregor September 16, 2016

Cuts out REPEATEDLY The app will play for 5-20 minutes and then cut out, which is incredibly frustrating. Thanks KJZZ!

cosmophonic12 August 30, 2016

Unstable Consistently stops playing. I can listen for a good 30 minutes before it stops. Not worth it

Ruby Sheffer December 3, 2016

Cuts out after 2 mins

Michael W December 12, 2016

Cuts out on GSM network

Sheila Scanlan October 1, 2016

Keeps stopping. Love this app please fix asap!!! Love this app please fix asap!!!

Herman Relf August 29, 2016

Kjzz ...

William Young August 26, 2016

It wants new permissions I'm really tired of these apps that want access to everything on my phone. Its BS! I'm uninstalling this app! I'd rather keep my privacy than run this lame data-collecting app. I'm streaming KJZZ with VLC instead. A side benefit is they it streams better than with the KJZZ app!

Peter Wilson July 14, 2016

Barely works Buffering takes a very, very long time, and the app self-pauses at random.

Alexander Peters May 28, 2014

Ugly and confusing. Looks like a crappy port of a web page made to look like a crappy iOS app. Utterly ignores the platform it's on, and is often internally inconsistent as well. Wonderful radio station whose app is in need of an experienced designer's attention. (KJZZ, get in touch!)

Jacob Hilton February 8, 2014

Good but the notification icon is annoying The app itself functions great with easy access to radio and schedules and news. However, it keeps an icon in your status/notifications bar at all times that you can't get rid of, even after completely closing the app. I'll listen to the radio when I want to, thanks; I don't need to be constantly reminded!

Ana Victoria Lujan de Loya December 19, 2014

Audio issues I use the app solely for listening so I don't really care about the interface per se. My huge issue with it is that the audio gets interrupted so I have silent periods, which are sometimes followed by the app closing on its own. This is on a strong, reliable wifi connection. Some days it's bad enough that I stop using it altogether which is a shame because I absolutely love public radio.

Alex dlv May 2, 2014

Wish it would work Even on wifi, after it buffers, no audio. Too bad. I still love you though KJZZ! Galaxy Note 2

Sandi Lansing July 23, 2015

If you live in Northern Arizona (Prescott area for me), KJZZ reception via radio is totally intermittent to impossible. This app is the answer to my prayers! According to some reviews, it falls short in appearance and cool features. But I'm not interested in watching this app or playing with it. I just want to hear KJZZ when I'm driving around town and this does it! YAY!!! Thanks, KJZZ!

Joe Martin January 25, 2015

Down load fails. Tried to down load this App twice. Both times it caused my Galaxy 3S to reboot and App didn't down load. A better solution is to access KJZZ via the Tune In Radio app

Cameron Bolender February 7, 2015

Great Station, Terrible App Cannot close app. Not from app view or status bar. Persistent notifications. Only way to close app is to force close from android settings. Uninstalled. This app is shovelware. Very disappointed.

Mikhail Sundust December 12, 2013

Great job KJZZ! I like how smooth it is and I love that the news links stay in the app. Loving the recent upgrades from KJZZ. Keep up the quality state coverage and thank you for covering indigenous issues from tribes throughout Arizona!

Kristine Gliesman April 8, 2015

Disappointing I cannot believe their isn't an app designer in the Valley who won't donate time and/or expertise to fix this thing. The donation section is broken, which is the LAST area that should have bugs. What a shame.

B Johnson February 19, 2016

Great but disappointing app I love the features and news of this app but I agree with many here that not allowing the user to exit the app is a cheap marketing stunt.

Kyle Carpenter May 4, 2015

Subpar Buggy. Stops playback constantly for no reason on a good connection. No way to exit the app once it's started.

Liam Hait January 20, 2016

Freezes Freezes occasionally. Stream cuts out, but comes back after restarting app. Just annoying. Otherwise the app works well.

January 18, 2014

My Favorite NPR channel Anywhere! Listening now to live broadcast that always makes me feel at home in the valley of the sun. It's like a cup'a joe with an old friend. I look forward to sharing the new app with everyone. Congrats!

Nardo Rodriguez August 5, 2014

Meh Can't get it off of my phone's "ongoing" list unless I reboot my phone. Unacceptable.

James Choca February 16, 2016

Doesn't work well Randomly stops streaming, seems to coincide with the screen turning off.

Pedro Choca July 11, 2014

Streaming often stops. The revolving graphics are superfluous and use up bandwidth.

Terry Miller March 25, 2014

Doesn't work Can't get the radio programs to play.

Rocky Nelson October 20, 2014

Doesn't work! No live radio , only recorded news files work.

jeph huso August 8, 2014

Ehh... It desperately needs a sleep timer. And yeah, it's ugly, but it works.

Bob Altizer December 17, 2013

OK for the first try. It's portrait-mode only, not visually appealing on a tablet that's on my desk in landscape. And it seems to drop signal more frequently than TuneIn Radio. Looking forward to the next version.
