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.

Whenever there's the slightest interruption in a data connection, or when my phone switches from one wifi hotspot to another, the radio feed stops. Sometimes it restarts by itself, but just as often I have to restart the app. And whenever it restarts, it first plays a promo spot for one of the sponsors. Very, very, very frustrating! In fact, I can't use the app as I had hoped: to listen to KUOW when I'm in locations where I can't receive the broadcast. :-(
