KJZZ Phoenix for Android
Love kjzz for NPR but it cuts out every 2-10 min
Keeps me informed.
(Samsung S4) alarm button doesn't show on or off so you have to guess which way is on. That doesn't matter because in either position it won't work. KBAQ alarm works great (it buffers and plays) but I prefer KJZZ in the morning. SLEEP TIMER IS GREAT
The updated version of this app looks a lot better than the last one, and there are many more ways to engage the app than previously. But, it is extremely frustrating, as it cuts out every 2-15 minutes.
I love kjzz. I love to listen to it as a part of my morning routine you. Unfortunately I have tried this app over and over and over again and can never get more than 10 minutes out of it.
The app will play for 5-20 minutes and then cut out, which is incredibly frustrating. Thanks KJZZ!
Consistently stops playing. I can listen for a good 30 minutes before it stops. Not worth it
Cuts out after 2 mins
Cuts out on GSM network
Love this app please fix asap!!!

I'm really tired of these apps that want access to everything on my phone. Its BS! I'm uninstalling this app! I'd rather keep my privacy than run this lame data-collecting app. I'm streaming KJZZ with VLC instead. A side benefit is they it streams better than with the KJZZ app!
Buffering takes a very, very long time, and the app self-pauses at random.
Listening now to live broadcast that always makes me feel at home in the valley of the sun. It's like a cup'a joe with an old friend. I look forward to sharing the new app with everyone. Congrats!
Playback stops on my Pixel shortly after device enters idle mode (when the screen is off) this is keeping me from listening in and interrupting my favorite shows. Already talked to Google support and they said this issue is on your end. Please check it out when you can
I cannot believe their isn't an app designer in the Valley who won't donate time and/or expertise to fix this thing. The donation section is broken, which is the LAST area that should have bugs. What a shame.
Freezes occasionally. Stream cuts out, but comes back after restarting app. Just annoying. Otherwise the app works well.
Unstable - frequent stops. Clunky design that won't display horizontally.
If you live in Northern Arizona (Prescott area for me), KJZZ reception via radio is totally intermittent to impossible. This app is the answer to my prayers! According to some reviews, it falls short in appearance and cool features. But I'm not interested in watching this app or playing with it. I just want to hear KJZZ when I'm driving around town and this does it! YAY!!! Thanks, KJZZ!
I love the features and news of this app but I agree with many here that not allowing the user to exit the app is a cheap marketing stunt.
Randomly stops streaming, seems to coincide with the screen turning off.

Buggy. Stops playback constantly for no reason on a good connection. No way to exit the app once it's started.

I can't get anything to play...I don't get it.
Easy to use. Great news coverage. Use it in the car since the car radio went kaput.
Kjzz was removed from NPR radio so this is our only choice for online listening.
Consistently stops working
App streams well... Allows me to keep up with Valley events...
I did really like this app and then it just stopped working. I tried everything to get it to work (including emailing developers and buying a new phone- didn't buy the phone fur the app, but when I got a new note 4 it still didn't work). I really wish it did work because I'd change my reading in a heartbeat.
I got excited when I found this in the Google play store hoping it would stream unlike the NPR app but I was disappointed.
Cannot close app. Not from app view or status bar. Persistent notifications. Only way to close app is to force close from android settings. Uninstalled. This app is shovelware. Very disappointed.
Tried to down load this App twice. Both times it caused my Galaxy 3S to reboot and App didn't down load. A better solution is to access KJZZ via the Tune In Radio app
I use the app solely for listening so I don't really care about the interface per se. My huge issue with it is that the audio gets interrupted so I have silent periods, which are sometimes followed by the app closing on its own. This is on a strong, reliable wifi connection. Some days it's bad enough that I stop using it altogether which is a shame because I absolutely love public radio.
So glad I can take the news with me anywhere with a program I like
Good etc

only recorded news files work.
It desperately needs a sleep timer. And yeah, it's ugly, but it works.
