Can’t stream stations anymore
One used to be able to stream npr stations from all over the US, a HUGE feature of this app. Now that feature is completely gone, and it’s useless for me. That makes no sense. Bye, NPR.

Description
The NPR app is the best way to listen to stories, shows, and podcasts from NPR and your local public radio station.
It’s public radio made personal.
*A handcrafted experience + your personal radio station*
NPR starts with the latest headlines then moves to a flow of stories that matter - narratives that increase your understanding, create connections, enrich your life and enliven your mind. All thoughtfully curated by hand, every day. Just tap on the big play button in the Home screen, and NPR One gets to know you. Skip what you don't want, or mark a story as interesting. Though your mix is personalized to deliver the stories you want, you’ll still hear the top news of the day and the stories you had no idea would captivate you.
*Connected locally*
Even with the breadth of public radio at your fingertips, you won’t lose touch at home. Local news and podcast episodes are woven seamlessly into your listening experience. Local stories, locally reported, are delivered daily. Community is everything.
*Listen everywhere*
Love to listen on the go? Get the most out of NPR with CarPlay and Apple Watch. Skip, pause, and search at a glance without even touching your phone.
*Features*
* A personalized mix of stories from NPR and local station
* Stream your local radio station from wherever you are
* Easy access to the full catalog of NPR and local station shows and podcasts

Not happy
The old app was fine - clean and simple. This is a disorganized mess of features I don't want and don't use. Please restore the old one as an option.
Please give listeners control
This new app is bad enough that I could consider stopping my monthly donations after decades of support. I want to choose what I want to listen to and then it stops playing when it gets to the end. Please do not play content I didn’t ask for. Also, search and content cataloging are too hard to work with. It feels defeating at times. I find myself listening to NPR less.
Could be so much better
Really needs a playback speed selector. 1x isn't good for everyone.
Update is buggy
This was a great, user friendly app. Now I can’t stream the latest newscast. Also, when I listen live, it’ll suddenly stop streaming mid-story. What was broken that needed this fix?
Broke what didn’t need to be fixed
The interface was simpler before. Now it’s kind of clunky and the add to playlist button doesn’t do anything.
Great content, room for improvement
Love the content. Great way keep up with the world while being busy at work or home. The Playlist: you kind of have to babysit it. It doesn’t go to the next story sometimes, and if it does there’s a huge lag if it does start. You either have multiple pushes on your earbud button or you have to open the app to move forward. Controls: I’d like to have forwarded back buttons on the Home Screen like Podcasts, Music, and other news apps. Otherwise, you have to push on the banner on the home screen which will then take you to the app, and then go forward or back from there.
Playlist items don’t always start at beginning
Why is it that, after all these years, NPR still can’t make an ap that simply lets me listen to all stories from morning edition one after the other, in order, without stopping or skipping several minutes of random stories? This seems pretty basic folks…
local newscast often cut short
local newscast seems limited to 2:01 and is often cut off mid stream. pls extend cutoff
Got rid of sound icons, why??
It used to be when you look through the home feed, stories that have audio would have a little sound icon next to it as opposed to written-only articles. This made it easy for me to go through the list and choose stories to add to a playlist I can listen to while doing chores. Now you have to tap on each individual article one by one and go into to it to find out whether or not it had audio. Why would they make it less user friendly??
