First off I m a KPCC supporting member and I ve tried submitting this feedback through the app but no one ever replied to me and it doesn t seem like there s anyone on the other side listening I love the idea of being able to listen to KPCC all the time and being able to go back to previous shows and listen in The problem is app keeps resetting itself each time I switch audio sources I listen on my morning run with my dogs then come home and get ready for work As soon as I sit in the car and the phone switches to the car Bluetooth it resets and gives me the little promo advertising message and I lose my place at whatever part of the program I was listening to It takes a few minutes to go back and find where I was Then I drive to work and as soon as I turn off the car and it goes back to the phone speaker again IT RESETS AGAIN Then I walk into the office and put my headset on AND IT RESETS AGAIN If I come home from work and it switches from cellular network to home wifi IT RESETS AGAIN If I get a call while I m listening IT RESETS AGAIN after I hang up If I have to do voice to text it pauses the program and then RESETS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN you can probably tell how frustrated I am I love the KPCC and I love listening to their programming but this app literally boils my blood For a station so intelligent and far beyond the level of any other radio show his literally is one of the dumbest apps I ve ever had the misfortune of using     Love the idea but SO GLITCHY Proathlete61
I couldn t get past the tutorial for weeks I had tried deleting and uninstalling countless times Today I tried using the app again no luck I then decided to try to delete and reinstall it again one last time and it started working I recommend everyone give it a shot KPCC is wonderful and now I can rewind to the start of shows like the coverage of the eclipse that I missed                     Works Again Suleman123
Latest version doesn t work There is a welcome blurb that lasts about 30 seconds and tells you how to use the app Then it asks if you want notifications and freezes from there This version of the app doesn t work     Buggy Welcome Blurb Cinematek
Can t get beyond the welcome message     Too bad quabolasse
Don t upgrade you will lose contact with KPCC Keep old app     Don t do it Judmarshall
I can keep up with their live broadcast That s all that I need if I want more I can listen to other programs on this app too instead of downloading podcasts separately                     Works for me I love KPCC Paulanddeni
Constantly crashes or freezes between opening underwriter announcement this happens across multiple devices despite updates and regardless of wi fi or cell data use Knowing firsthand how great KPCC is to its members I hope in the future this app works more reliably KCRW is now my go to NPR app but I miss Take Two and AirTalk     Disappointed but hopeful LynxAlot
I can t get past this demo It totally freezes up after she asks me whether or not I want to get notifications when there s breaking news I can t even get into the actual platform Totally blows     Can t get past the Let s Go demo Gidgetgurl
Old version worked fine now all I get is the Welcome to KPCC blurb     Can t get past the intro Tnderiskillingme
Would love this app more if it had Chromecast support I usually use the NPR One app if I need to cast something to my TV             Chromecast support PriceShopper
I can t get past the annoying welcome to the KPCC app message I am perfectly able to figure out a simple app on my own if I m actually allowed to do so     Unusable I am hopelessly hooked
I love KPCC sustaining member here but I hate this app It used to work flawlessly Today for example while listening to FBI Director Comey s Testimony the app would rewind 2 sec snippets and stop playing randomly I had to turn it off and miss a part of history Please put more effort and resources into your app KPCC     Glitches and Crashes Galore Dic Quiloan
This app works ok I use it every once in a while As a subscriber I appreciate the fund raiser free option The problem is that this should be on my Apple TV but it isn t Apple TV app store has been out for a long time and this app pre dated the 4th gen Apple TV so why hasn t it been ported yet I would listen to this every single day It would be running almost continuously at my house Apple s radio stream through iTunes just don t work reliably anymore and they require a paid membership to even be available So KPCC make this an Apple TV app already         Should be an Apple TV app Bad_Bandit
This app drives me nuts I love listening to KPCC but the app randomly shuts off or rewinds or skips back and forth and I end up missing bits and pieces that I want to hear Sometimes it gets stuck repeating the same 30 seconds and it makes me want to scream I updated my phone in the hopes that would fix it but it s not me KPCC it s you I really thought it was my phone because I couldn t believe that KPCC would tolerate such a shoddy app that is so far below the quality we ve become accustomed to from the station We don t have a radio in our home so the app is the only way I can access KPCC and it frustrates me to no end when it cuts off in the middle of the news or an important story As a stay at home mom it s important to me to have a connection to what s happening in the world outside my kitchen and I ve come to rely on KPCC for that I can t sit at the computer and read the news all day and TV news is a joke that I don t want my small children to see so having a working app helps keep me in the loop and makes me feel like a relatively intelligent adult Could you please update the app and fix the bugs so I don t have to resort to getting my news from the covers of the magazines in the checkout line     Please please please fix this app Retro-Activation
app wont even load after latest update do they not test this stuff before releasing     crashes
Crashing problem has been fixed This app is now better than ever and indispensable to me Love the rewindfast forward Thanks so much                 New update works great Fantastic new features
I am so appalled by this terrible update that I am actually considering canceling my KPCC sustaining membership and moving my support to another station How could you use member dollars to produce such a nonfunctional clearly completely untested POS You guys got screwed by whoever developed this app Get it together KPCC And for the love of God stop advertising your great new app on air     Garbage
Terrible fix     Nothing to hear here keep searching
The addition of scrubbing for live shows touchhold on the orange bar then slide your finger to the leftright until you get to your desired time makes this a perfect app for listening to public radio programs Both the live stream and recorded programs work very well and the live program pause that you can later resume right at the point you paused is super useful                 Fantastic way to have KPCC in your pocket
Been a user of Kpcc app for a long time and while the update looks nice and slick they have ruined the App I miss being able to skip back a minute or more to catch bits of stories I missed and when the app is interrupted by an alarm call another app etc it doesnt return to playing It just stops Very annoying I have started using alternative public radio apps instead Please bring back the old features        Please go back
Please update this great app for iPhone 6 Screens Long overdue              Please update this great app for iPhone 6 Screens
05032015 UPDATESTILL AWFUL The app is crashing more and more Whats worse is there doesnt seem to be a pattern as to what causes it its just willy nilly The sleep function is back However the functionality of the sleep function is missing It works it doesnt work it crashes the app it pauses the show it stops the show Who knows maybe someone thinks these are positive attributes KPCC please find someone who can actually write a functional app you know like your previous versions this update seems to have been written by someone who is training on your dime and your dime is overpayment 02122015 The positive reviews for this release must be from the Developers Moms because this update is so ugly only a Mother could love it The look is beautiful but the functionality is spectacularly awful Want to finish listening to a program NOPE You cant forward fast slow or otherwise Missed something during a program and want to go back NOPE Rewinding is apparently a thing of the past I want the past back Like listening to a program as you wind down for the night Good luck with that 1 There is NO Sleep Timer anymore 2 Worse than that once the particular program you played is over it will play the next one Then the next one Then the next one And soon and soon Want to listen live No problem if you dont mind 1 random rewinding 2 random forwarding 3 multiples of both its random and oh so fun 4 losing connection I am so angry at myself for not reading the reviews first     HORRIBLE STAY AWAY
I want to like this app In fact I want to love this app just as I love KPCC radio But this thing is a mess I notice that the tech specs specify that the app is optimized for iPhone 5 mines a 4 but that doesnt adequately explain why it must crash freeze burp sneeze close refuse to close or otherwise melt down at the slightest hint of gentle provocation Playing an archived stream is barely manageable Playing live audio almost inevitably sends this thing into hysterics if it manages to load in the first place The particularly troubled but integral timeline feature just disappeared entirely one day most likely a wise intervention by the digital team For some reason I have no trouble with the KPCC iPad app so I have hope that this project will be revisited more carefully in the future I adore KPCC and dont think this app is a good reflection of what they can achieve        Not Ready for Primetime
LOVE LOVE the new app Its elegantly designed I love the replay feature and how easy it is to see all the programs                 Love
You know the rest The previous version of this app was perfect I could set the sleep timer so I could be lulled into slumber by Ira Flatow or Terry Gross I could easily bookmark items to listen to or send to friends later I could read just the headlines which were headlines with links to the full story instead of having to scroll through an endless page of content and btw the app doesnt follow the Apple convention of returning to the top of the page by tapping the top of the page you have to scroll All The Way Back To The Top Ugg This is not an update of the old app It is an entirely different app more of a downdate if anything I want my old beloved KPCC app back Oh and btw the Feedback section doesnt work Maybe on purpose     If it aint broke
This version of the app is super buggy Live streaming works well but dont bother trying to rewind anything youll get stuck in a brokenrecordlike loop        Buggy
The new version is a terrible disappointment The app crashes constantly I have always listened to KPCC when I travel and that is no longer possible As a sustaining member I hope this issue is addressed soon     Terrible Update
Thank you KPCC                 Great app
I cannot even put into words how LIVID I am at the awful AWFUL update KPCC have just put out If I could revert back to the old app I would And Im especially mad at myself because I never ever update an app without waiting a while and then reading the reviews But this is KPCC its smart radio for smart people It didnt cross my mind they would screw it up as spectacularly as they have and put out a stupid app that is a massive step backwards First off with the old app with live radio I could rewind a few minutes so any time I missed something I could just skip back half a minute to catch it again I didnt see a need to rewind to the beginning because if I ever wanted to hear the whole show from the beginning Id just wait until it was available on demand With the on demand shows I could fast forward rewind no brainer right Its 2015 why wouldnt I be able to do to a radio show what I was doing on a VCR 30 years ago Well for whatever gobsmackingly stupid idea they decided to get rid of those options so you can only pause or play So great I can go all the way back to the beginning of the show but I cant go back 30 seconds anymore The on demand options are even worse The first time I was listening to a show on demand I thought I must have missed something or downloaded the update incorrectly because it was baffling to be unable to find the rewind button I went back to programs nope nothing went back into my show and guess what the show I was half an hour into and had missed a minute of I was now back at the beginning of it starting over And now I cant fast forward back to where I was So guess what I stopped listening to that show The app constantly buffers stalls and pauses The old app paused when the phone rang then continued seamlessly when I hung up now it pauses or freezes So all day long as I sit in my office with my cell phone ringing I keep having to go back to the app to unpause it and half the time it wont play anyway The new interface and the dingdinadingadina while it rewinds was cool the first time brain dementing after staring it all day long while it tries to catch up to live radio Im no longer using the KPCC app now and am just using other NPR apps to listen to KPCC I cannot think of a worse update I cannot even fathom how this was approved Its not buggy its just a terrible TERRIBLE app now I wish I could uninstall this and go back to the old one Shame on you KPCC Im this close to canceling my subscription and listening to another channel all together     SHAME ON YOU KPCC
This doesnt work This morning it would only play about five seconds of the broadcast and then stop It seems to drop out much more often than the old version All the other comments about rewinding and such are true too but my major complaint is that I cant listen to the station on it Can I get the old app back     Oy
Love the recent updates to the KPCC app Rewinding to any time in a show or even previous shows on live radio is awesome Very happy with KPCC Good job                 Best update
I used this app for a week with great success However this latest update has rendered it useless It simply will not open I tried deleting it and downloading again powered my phone down and tried it over wifi and cell but nothing works It just crashes seconds after I try to open it     Will not open
The app works fine but I dont need it to waste my time with a tutorial about how to click a play button every time I launch it        Get rid of the intro
I can no longer load the app It freezes on the introductory screen displaying a white ring over the orange background of the app and then after 20 seconds or so just quits If I try to tap anything during this process my whole phone freezes up completely        Glitches since July 30th update
I love kpcc and loved the app until recently after its been off for a while it randomly comes on This has been a problem several times when Im putting my baby to sleep and suddenly the news is blaring from my phone Hoping this is something that will be fixed soon The app is the only way I listen at home but I wont be using it till Im certain this wont keep happening        Great until recently
Love that I can have KPCC at my fingertips but I dont like that the App keeps freezing or crashing on my new IPhone           App keeps crashing
Count me as one more dissatisfied updater due to the impossibly poor playback in the current version I do not miss any of the old features that got removed and I do like some of the new features and the overhauled look that were introduced in this version and I like that the app finally plays nice with the media controls in the control center and lock screen But the main purpose of this app is to stream KPCC which I am not able to do with this new version due to playback issues I would even tolerate some skipping as long as the stream kept playing but playback stops very frequently and often does not start again until the app is quit out of background and relaunched     Update renders app unusable
I like the new update and look I am a 32 year old male who is not affiliated with KPCC in anyway So Winner winner chicken dinner                 I enjoy it
This am I used my new upgraded app A nightmare NPR keeps dropping off App is not giving live info My app says the info is 9 minutes late Ha thats only if it works Which it doesnt HELP     What did you do
Agree with most peoples comments here this is a real step backward And a big lack of common sense has taken over the app Dont sacrifice user experience for needless design thats exactly whats happened here     A big step back
I wish youd roll back the update It comes by itself and theres no way I can see to stop it short of deleting the app     Who broke this app
Everything said below is correct Looks great but doesnt load glitches out and has fewer useable features An exercise in frustration every time A HUGE swing and miss It worked before this update     Updated to awful
Live and catalog now have pause and skip Finally loads consistently                 Awesome at last
ugh you had to change it now it sticks wont load catalog of shows is hard to navigate and no sleep timer     Just doesnt work
I have been listening to the KPCC app for many years on my morning run and now Ive had to switch because the app doesnt work Very frustrating     Update doesnt work
Gorgeous new interface but I really miss the sleep timer I used that a lot        Features removed
i love kpcc this app is great simple and straight forward you dont need the intro its easy enough and please fix the alarm function i need morning edition to wake up to thank you guys              love kpcc please fix the alarm feature
Skips like a scratched LP     Super buggy please fix
Excellent sound quality Navigation is horrible No rewind no skip so if you missed something you either have to go back to the beginning of the program or you are SOL        Good not great
Love how I can rewind and go forward Also love how the programming isnt interrupted like when I use radio apps like TuneIn Radio I had issues with the application crashing when I updated it but the next day it started working properly                 Scrubbing rewind and forward is awesome
Downloaded the newest update now the app doesnt fully load I cant get past the initial headphone screen Even deleting the app reinstalling didnt fix it My days are endless without KPCC please fix it     Love KPCC but newest version does not work
The new interface is nice but Im dealing with some of the same issues others are having Cant go more than a few minutes tops without it buffering and rewinding to some random point More often this happens within the first 1520 seconds of listening This update has rendered this app virtually unusable Ive given up Ill check back again in a few months Hopefully this will be fixed by then     Pretty but useless
Too many problems For specifics read all the other one star reviews     Glitchy
You fixed the other bug but the app wont open correctly now        Now the app wont load
Even the feedback function didnt work Is there a way to rewind or fast forward a prerecorded program     Looks good but
but its near impossible to do so any longer The new app looks nice but it does not work I am so disappointed in the update I know that when something works ie the last version of KPCC app I shouldnt get greedy and hope for something better well I had to do it again I updated the usefulness out of my favorite and most used app I am glad there are alternative apps to get my KPCC fix and my other public radio app hasnt been updated in a couple years works great but the last version of the KPCC app was even better than the alternative sad to see it go down the tubes     I used to always use
To ffrew tap and hold the progress bar                 Great
It does not rewind and keeps cutting of or repeating     It keeps cutting off
Update blows You can no longer fast forward parts of shows you already heard or rewind if you got distracted Whoever is responsible for leaving this out should be left out of future updates On the plus side I discovered most shows are podcast so not a total loss     No rewind fast forward
Since the last update the app keeps randomly coming on by itself I can be on the phone and it starts playing I can be looking at the calendar on my phone and it starts playing Many times it has just started playing in my pocket without me even turning the phone on Very embarrassing Despite many posts on the Internet about this bug the developer has so far done nothing to fix it Please fix this very annoying bug so we can get back to giving the app good reviews Thanks        App Keeps Turning on by Itself
Solidly Disappointing     Could be a lot better with your resources
The update is aesthetically pleasing but what happened to all the great functions and ease of use Seems like they sacrificed looks for practicallity and it really is a shame I dont understand why they took away many functions volume control ability to rewind a bit instead of starting from the beginning etc Also the app itself is very finnicky and prone to simply closing when trying to playback certain programs It is a shame as the app was really my source of listening and now with it basically defunct I listen to about 10 of what I used to due to all the technical issues Please upgrade this upgrade to fix the bugs or reinstate the old version     form over function unfortunately
Amazing Just like everything else about KPCC Beautiful and minimal user interface design and flawless functionality Couldnt ask for more Thank you                 Perfect
Cant skip walk through horrible not to have skip option     Cant skip intro
