LAist for Android

After my latest update, this app no longer works. Every few seconds it flips between two alternate broadcasts. To hear the story you were just listening to, you have press “stop” then “play.” This takes you back, but only for maybe ten seconds and then…flip! Back to a different broadcast. So frustrating. Guess it’s podcasts from now on. So long, KPCC. I’ll miss you.

I enjoy listening to KPCC at home or on a walk via my headset through this app

Since my last review, I feel the app has improved slightly, with the addition of more podcasts and frequent news updates. Unfortunately, the livestream and streaming of archived shows is still problematic. The app doesn’t keep your place if you get a call or have to switch audio apps temporarily. The feed crashes regularly, and the app just resets randomly unless you’re listening uninterrupted, and even that crashes sporadically. There hasn’t been much improvement to this app over the last several years, which is very disappointing. I love KPCC, but I can pull up a radio app and get better more consistent audio streaming than this app has ever had. Why this app hasn’t been fixed, I have no idea.

Needs an overhaul, they should hire whoever developed the KCRW app

Super long time listener WAY before podcasts were a thing. Have needed to reinstall app numerous times over the years whenever it freezes. Most recently app won’t show any podcast options but the one streaming at that time. Silly. The #1 prs in SoCal needs a tech upgrade!
