Ratings and reviews

1/19/24 Update: still poorly engineered, nothing against KQED but the app is terrible on my Pixel 7 Pro. Constantly cutting off, disconnects from Bluetooth speaker, if I get a text message email It disrupts the stream. I've been streaming for the past hour and it's cut off almost every few minutes. I love KQED, I'm a sustaining member but I'm upset that I can't even stream it from my phone.

I like this app, it has all my favorite KQED programs in one place. There is one problem with the app on Android. When I'm listening to a live stream and I receive a SMS notification on my phone that has sound, the app pauses and I have to manually restart the playback directly from the app. The media control from the KQED app has a play button, but that doesn't work.

This app was really bad. The live stream would stop every few minutes, so I switched to using a different radio app because it was so frustrating. After approximately 6 months, I gave this kqed app a second chance, and it's much better now, but it still crashes occasionally. Usually once per listen, and It's still annoying so I'm going back to the other app.
