I’ve been using the KUER app on my iPad and my iPhone for at least five years. Every day several times a day. There are reliability issues that come up once every two or three months. These can be everything from a crash to a simple failure to load. The other big issue is that, as noted below by many reviewers, the app itself is a bit messy and doesn’t follow many UI best practices for sophisticated mobile apps. So a bit of attention to underlying tech to correct the reliability problems and a complete redesign of the user interface to Simplify it, improve its appearance, and make Navigation more seamless is in order. That said, I also use the WNYC app Upon occasion and I find it even more difficult. The great content and ability to get to Radio West, local news stories, combined with Fresh Air, and the other big NPR shows makes the KUER app a must have for me. Show more

I love NPR. I love the solid mix of global and domestic politics, strange biology and philosophical questioning, and the weird guests they have on sometimes. The only problem, or so I thought, was that it was fixed to my car radio. Turns out they have an app! I mean, it’s not the cleanest looking of all apps and it takes a second to load the current radio, but the simplicity is comforting, and it does the job flawlessly. Thanks guys. Show more

I enjoy the stories and the reporting in general, but the commercials are super annoying. Due to an apparent issue with the app, I could not listen between Oct 28-30. During this time, the intro would play, along with another super annoying commercial like announcement but the content would not play. I was about to cancel my membership when it mysteriously started working again. Show more

This app gets the job done, but I find it frustrating that I have to press play on a given story in order to see how long it is. Better labeling would be nice. When I click on a story to see the synopsis, there is NO time information. Visually, the app is really messy, it’s overstimulating. Show more

New Year’s Day I was trapped in the garage. The Studio 1A show had me entranced. I’d just returned from checking a friend’s home for signs of a break-in. But there I sat in the driver’s seat, car running, while meditating with show guest Jay Sherry. Finally, I made a break for it. I ran an inside, found & loaded app, then streamed It into my home speakers - barely skipping a beat! This lead to several wonderful hours with KUER while I checked-off my to-do list. Perfect!

I am a huge fan of NPR and KUER but I’m so annoyed that every time I push pause on this app I have to listen to a commercial in order to get it to play again. Show more

I stopped listening to music after I downloaded this app. I keep it going 24/7 ?

Easy to navigate and streams well

Excellent UI, easy to navigate, no glitches, always pitch perfect content. My go-to to resource for news and entertainment (along with the NYT). Bravo!

One of my favorite apps on my phone. Recommend for download if you like listening to KUER!

Gives me the live local news coverage and let’s me see the stories I missed.

It is the best.

So easy to use and all the choices anyone could ask for!

Just wanted to say thank you for making KUER available for Utahns stationed abroad—-helps me stay connected to home! Travis (from St. George, stationed in Beijing, China)

Given the generally poor quality expected of NPR affiliates, KUER's frustrating performance is almost bearable, though at times I have an impulse to throw my phone; like when I notice that the connection always begins with an advertisement (now routinely included in "non-commercial" programming) and that the ad always works, though often no program follows and I have to struggle to get what I came for. It's a demonstration of the pecking order of capitalism, with the best content on the bottom, poorly presented, the LDS station better presented but fraudulent, and pure commercial entertainment vacuously on technical top.

I love using this app to listen to KUER any place However sometimes it repeats sections It is also inconsistent at playing she’s that have segments all the way through in on demand mode Still ech version is a bit better and I depend onnit Show more

Wow!! First you take over the 9am slot and ruin it forever; now you take over the 12pm slot and ruin my Friday lunch hour!! KUER will never get another dime from me! Shame on you!! This app is deleted!! Show more

NPR is a great network and resource with 5 stars. I rate the KUER app one star which I find detestable and frustrating, especially when I am transitioning from the car radio to my smartphone. The app ads take too long to reach the actual programming. On too many occasions I cannot get past the ad which locks in place. I then have two options, delete the app and down load it again from the app store or, switch to my Phoenix NPR app and listen to that station. I do not have a similar problem or delay with the Phoenix NPR app. Show more

Love it. I use it all the time.

I am currently in Hangzhou, China. The KUER app has been the most reliable source I have for information from home. Even when internet here has fluctuated badly, the app just keeps on humming along. Show more
