Ratings and reviews

I can't get the playlist on my Pixel 10 phone, since the last KNKX app update. I'll have to call. It could be that it can't connect to my wifi that's in another room in an old CPU. It's very annoying, no matter what the reason, since my old Bose Wave radio no longer shows the artist or song, so I have to hope the station back-announces if I don't know who it is.

New app is not laid out in a manner that is helpful to people that have High contrast issues. As far as reading the other thing that I really dislike about it.Is that it has a really bad signal?Half the time it drops off, or has to reconnect, or it gets lost, or whatever it does.But i'm listening, and all of a sudden, it's gone, and I know that I have secure network and stuff that's not the problem.The problem is your app itself fails. And being that I am a sustaining member, i'm doing my best.

It is very frustrating how often a news segment is interrupted by an advertisement. It used to only happen when I first opened the app, now it happens every 5-10 minutes. Almost unbearable. Trying to find alternatives to listen to local news on my phone.
