The new app also showcases KPCC’s extensive visual journalism with an immersive full-screen presentation that's unique to the tablet. Photo slideshows and video are available via the navigation or embedded in the news itself.

Beyond listening to and reading the news, the app is an open invitation to engage with the issues affecting Southern California. The Live Events section lists all upcoming events at the Crawford Family Forum. You can RSVP to any future event or stream them live and watch them remotely.
KPCC built the new app in-house, with critical input from more than 600 users who took part in a beta test.
We're also interested in what you think. As a member-supported news organization, we depend on your feedback to develop and refine the services that we provide.
Once you download the app and try it out, let us know what you think by using the feedback button in the app’s menu. You can also email us at mobilefeedback@kpcc.org.
