Yassss, the app seattlelites have been waiting for! Unfortunately in Washington where the radio station is based, the reception for the radio station itself is HORRIBLE. And when I say horrible , I mean UNBEARABLE! Every where is always static! This app will ease my ears and provide fresh staticless listening In the car ! Thank you C89.5, been waiting patiently for this day! Also LOVE the part about relistening to any show at any time! So when you hear a cool new song that isn’t listed on the playlist , you haven’t lost it forever 💛

Like the website's streaming on demand, shows play by the hour, not by the show. If you play a show starting with the first hour, it will continue to the next hour with a huge loading pause. If you play a show for one day, it will not autoplay to the next show's day. If you pause with the app open, it will restart what's playing fom the beginning or restart the entire app. If you pause in lock screen, you can usually pause and play without issue. Sometimes you can see last week's show, sometimes you can't. Shows are frequently unavailable entirely. Some weeks, almost all the shows are unavailable, so you can't use the app at all. You can't save shows or hours. And they're gone once the following week's show happens anyway. Shows that run over midnight don't have the first part of the show. For example, the Vortex Saturday 9pm-midnight is not available, but Sunday midnight-2am is available. Worst of all, it uses a suspicious and crazy amount of data, up to a gigabyte for every 5-6 hours, so be careful with your data. There is no option to reduce the size of what's being streamed, and it's unclear if the high data usage is audio quality or something else. There are many more issues, but I think that's enough for you to make a reasonably educated guess if it's worth the security risks and UX challenges. I donated a lot of money when they said they were building it. It was released in 2020 and is not over 4 years old. Being in Seattle, I thought they'd have experienced folks build it. But if you have any experience with mobile app development, it's clear they cut many corners. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. But I should have known better given the website's challenges. Even the website's live streaming doesn't have an SSL certificate. Still, this app seems better than streaming through the website because it plays when you do other stuff on your phone and doesn't randomly stop playing after 30 seconds.

I discovered C89.5 few years back and WOW have they come a long way! I’ve done my share of donating to the amazing program they provide for the students, and every last penny has contributed to keep this outstanding radio station going strong! The community involved is massive and dedicated to making sure C89.5 lives on! When the station had a budget crisis and the transmitter went out, the supporters stepped up once again and saved the day. So proud to say I’m an active listener and supporter!

I found C89.5 way back in 7th grade in 95. Once I moved away from Seattle, I remember feeling like I lost a friend as the radio signal faded. Thanks to the internet, I was able to stream the station again many years later. This app is a wonderful, stable connection to a radio station I’ve adored for so long. Thanks for the years of dance music and saving the wave!
