Jazz91 KCSM-FM Hack 11.0.34 + Redeem Codes

My biggest complaint is the font color, as light blue on a white background can be hard to read at times, but the app functions decently! You can listen with the screen off, and even set an alarm through the app if you’d like (I don’t know why, since the native clock app is easier to access). What few ads are on the app are easy to avoid and close, and in my time using it I have yet to come into any problems with playback.

If I could update it, I think I’d add either a dark mode option, or a way to change the background image/font color to be more legible.

It would be cool to present year of track release, and click through to some basic album notes from which track was selected. Expecting drill down on album icons—to, say, Amazon—but didn’t see that. Opportunity for improvement.

This is among the worst apps I have ever used. I love KCSM and am a supporter. But the KCSM app ads are pervasive and cannot be dismissed. I tried the Safari browser on iOS and it’s even worse. There, the ads actually stop music playback until one acknowledges the ad. That’s totally unacceptable. For now, the only ways I know to listen are: 1) using a radio (such as in my car), and 2) through a computer browser with an ad blocker installed. From reading through many older reviews of the app, it has never been very good. This is in contrast to many other radio station apps that work flawlessly and are designed well. Why can’t KCSM get this right after so many years?

If this App is not the Worst Jazz Radio App out there, its surely at the bottom. Constant BIG Ad right in your face always with Missing Kids ad or something. And someone must think its OK to have piano black keys background which obscures the foreground making it uneven and impossible to read foreground information. And of course theres a link to the playlist which takes you to a mini mini view website without a Reader View option. And its never updated in Real Time! It also disconnects frequently (which none of my other music apps do). C’mon KCSM this thing should be trashed and new one created by Professionals put in place. Check out the KDFC App.

I am a different listener but I want to have someone also reread the comments from WLM115 on 10/16. This problem is still occurring December 6. On December 6 was composer Dave Brubeck’s would’ve been his one hundredth birthday, all of the on air personalities were great but hour the live stream kept dropping, for example the application during Senor Chuey Varella program dropped six different times and I was unable to appreciate his Latin tribute to composer Dave Brubeck, I’ve checked with Apple, my phone carrier and there was neither problem from both companies . Can this problem be rectified?thank you

But the app is poorly designed and ad driven. The cue was 1:48 behind and very hard to read. Might want to talk to the folks at Radio Paradise about their app which has a simple design and info about the song, artist and album.
Since the app is not very functional, I listen on my sonos most of the time. There is not song info from KCSM on that app either.
That said, I still support the incredible folks that keep this amazing station going! That’s the most important part. Thank you!

The music is great, particularly clean bakers 7:54 AM Sunday breakfast ranch and barbecue show. The app and the streaming is really disgusting. All they seem to want you to do is to watch the ads, so why should I bother giving them a donation. Unlike every other app that I know of if the screen is dark or if you try to look at something else it stops. And if you access it via a browser it also malfunctions constantly. Keep their music people and get rid of the IT people.

A few months ago I gave this app. one star because of the problem explained below. Accidentally opened the app. today and they’ve apparently got iPad digital output to DAC via CCC fixed. KCSM, thanks for listening!

I LOVE KCSM and have supported it for years, but I’m disappointed in this app.

When you plug a headphone amp/dac into iPad via the Apple Camera Connection Cable, the app continues to output audio via the analog headphone jack instead of switching to the digital out. Other jazz station apps act correctly, and the WBGO app is a great example. Plug in your amp/dac via the ACCC and viola! Pure digital bliss fills your headphones.

The app is a fine way to listen to a GREAT station. I find the “dinner jazz” programming a bit backgroundy for my taste but all the programming is targeted to what most folks like at the time of day here on the Left Coast.

A special shout-out to their superbly knowledgeable, welcoming and up Music Director, and her get-you-going Morning show.

Since the latest upgrade the KCSM app won't play on my speakers anymore, only on my phone. I love the station but I mainly listen at home through speakers, not my phone. Hope this issue can be fixed soon. The app is useless to me without this feature.
