Appmuse

I use the app exclusively to favorite new songs I hear on KEXP but it’s wholly unuseful that my Favorites list is sorted alphabetically. If I’ve never heard the song or artist how am I supposed to go back and find it later that day in a long list? It would make so much more sense if it were sorted by “Most Recent”. Thanks! Show more

I’m newer to the KEXP app/community and truly love the variety of shows available. I listen pretty much daily, and I’ve found I often need to go to the KEXP website to successfully play certain archived shows that don’t play at all on the app. I’ve tried restarting my phone and the app but often am unable to hear any music when playing some archived shows (from my phone directly or through a Bluetooth speaker that I thought might be the issue) or jumping a bit ahead in the playlist. I also make sure to go to the archived show directly versus playing the live set and switching to an archived show (which works occasionally). Won’t stop me from enjoying KEXP but would love to see more refining of the playback of archived shows if possible! ?? Thanks! Show more

I’ve been an amplifier for many years and really enjoy some of the shows, so I was excited to be able to specifically pick them out. But often when I open the app it’s just blank and no matter how many times I shutdown/reopen it won’t connect to anything. The jump to time is also frustrating as it is delayed and then fails to show the actual song that’s playing. Hoping it can be made functional, because it would be a great option! Show more

Hi there! I love KEXP and the fact they have this up and running. My biggest concern is the playback, sometimes when going back to a show from the week prior the playback is actually from today’s date, not the show a week before. (Ie I want to listening to Oct 16, but get playback for Oct 23). It’s still good music but makes it harder to catch the overnight shows :( Show more

Devoted KEXP listener and can’t thank you enough for the app. Would really really love the option to sort favorites by the date I added them to favorites. KEXP is amazing at introducing listeners to new music and adding songs to favorites to go back and look up later is so valuable. Thank you! Show more

I love discovering new music and often get tired of the music I listen to. I love watching KEXP live performances of all of my favorite artists, so I decided to download this app, and check out the actual radio show and I LOVE IT! I’ve been working from home and I know no matter what time or what host is DJing, if I put it on, it’s gonna be great stuff! I’ve found a lot of new tunes :) Show more

Would have given 5 stars if airplay was available (or intuitive)

Not sure how to explain the bad reviews but for great radio on a simple easy to use app this is perfect! Especially considering it is made by volunteers working for people powered radio.? Superior to many other apps that no doubt had a lot more money thrown at them. Thank you KEXP! Show more

This is the third year I’ve had this app and still... I can’t click on positive vibrations play list. Basically any play list or any live playlists. The app is super outdated and needs a complete redesign on the backend and for UX. Please update!!!! Show more

we listen live daily mostly through the app so use it a ton. Love the real time playlist. Love archived shows but in the last year that has been hit or miss on when it works. When it does sort of work, sometimes you can’t jump to a time or it freezes. Not a big thing but feedback all the same. Maybe this is a big no, but have you thought of letting us link favorited songs onto a playlist? Often I Shazam a song you play and it goes directly to a Spotify playlist. Would be nice if liking a song on this app would contribute to a playlist as well. I know Spotify doesn’t pay artists well but I still end up supporting new music, in concert or buying merch or their vinyl. Also it would be nice not to hear the whole intro every single time I reopen the app, (like if I hit play again because for whatever number of reasons the music pauses, usually not intentionally. We must hear the same exact 20 second intro a dozen times a day (either mix it up or play a commercial or maybe give us a one minute grace period before making us hear it again) From a marketing standpoint I’m surprised the app isn’t used to promote local concert calendar or at the least list KEXP events. But maybe the app is ONLY dedicated to listening? Also, my kids say please put a concert ticket contest button on the app so they can push it when you do a ticket giveaway and it just automatically sends in our info, just like a text entry.

Runs for a few moments then stops. Takes 2-3 min to load station ID intro, but often takes up to five minutes before restarting archive jams.. This is with LTE and great signal! Sometimes never reloads on archive. Very frustrating after years a fighting this app it seemed better then got awful again. Why not just hire real professionals to build a world class app? Show more

The streaming functionality is amazing, no problems there, but entire days and/or shows that appear in the web archive don’t appear at all in the app

KEXP is a truly fantastic radio station, and this review is geared towards the connectivity of the app, not a review of the station or it’s hosts: I can hardly get through a commute/bus ride from Lynnwood to Bellevue or Seattle without the app losing connection (and thus extensively pausing it even resetting) multiple times. Seems to happen most often when passing though those dead-zones that bisect 405 and I-5. Very aware that my carrier could be in part to blame here, but wanted to report the issue nonetheless.

Listen to KEXP on a daily basis. But now it just crashes every time I try to open, and before that it would prompt that I didn’t have an email account set up twice each time it opened before I could actually reach the music streaming. Now can’t get it to do anything. Something buggy is going on for sure. Sad that my preferred method of listening is no longer functional, hoping this can be fixed. Show more

... on iPhone 11 Pro. Tried reinstalling/restarting several times. Same results.

I love KEXP, listen to it everyday but after updating to the latest iOS version the app won’t load, just crashes every time. Keep the music but fix the app and your QC progress....Please. Show more

This is still a pretty not-so-great app. Picking shows is weird. Should just be able to pick the show and move on, like SoundCloud. Jumping to a specific time is just odd since the easier thing to use is a timeline with a playhead, like most music players. Even on WiFi the stream being interrupted by changing g the time seems to take forever. You need to wait for the app catch up and then play music before you decide to jump out of the app to use another app. If you jump out, the app freezes. The old version from way back with fake pre-ios6 buttons was very very very bad. This version, as it was with the old version with “buttons”, functions on a simple stream. The app is deeply flawed and functions in as much as it would be a nice supplement to having a radio. It still seems like it’s a better idea to just make this app only play a live stream, and then make sure it can still play the stream if you open a different app at the same time. This is still a very good radio station but you would be better off trying not to do anything other than program great music and then play it live. Show more

Love KEXP! But having trouble with the app on my iPhone. On a Samsung you can skip songs in the archive but with an Apple produce you can’t. Is this user error or something that will change? Show more

I’ve got an iPad mounted on the wall, with the Home app open in 2/3 of a split screen view and the Music app in the other third. I’d love to be able to put the KEXP app over on the side instead. Show more

I first listened to KEXP streamed from their website, the audio quality was totally fine, I then downloaded the app and noticed that the audio quality was significantly worse. It sounds like I’m listening to it through through a tin can. Not sure why there’s noticeable difference between the website and the app but it’s disappointing. Show more
