Ratings and reviews

The app seems to be constantly running in the background of my Samsung Galaxy, Android version 12. The only way to get it to completely shut off is to clear the cache & "force stop" it. The streaming will also suddenly, unexpectedly stop. Both these issues are occuring for at least two years now. PLEASE IMPROVE IT. (review updated 8/6/2022)

I am extremely frustrated with this app. Five or six years ago it worked very well. Now it's constantly buffering and the music cuts out at random times, making it almost unusable. The info about the current piece also does not update when the piece changes. I had thought maybe it was a problem with my old Android but the problem is even worse on my new one. Please fix these problems! I live far enough from LA that the radio signal is very weak, so I rely on the digital stream.

I love the station but really dislike the app! No matter what device I use; phone, tablet or computer, it is constantly buffering. And frequently when it buffers, it either fails to restart or switches streams. I have sufficient bandwidth. Cable internet which allows movies or YouTube to download without interuption. But I can't listen to this station without ineruption even when the audio stream is the only thing coming in on the internet. Come on KUSC, you can do better.
