Easy to navigate and simple looking app.
Great news app for those without access to a local NPR radio station.
Crashes sometimes but invaluable
This app is full of flaws and crashes so many times, it is not worth opening. It is hard to see how anyone can get a news reader app wrong on the iOS. Maybe this is what happens when companies go for the cheapest offer when deciding which developing company to choose. This is simply one of those apps that makes the iPhone look bad.
Try - it's worth of it!
Please bring back timer feature
I love NPR. I liked the sleep timer which they had. They took it out. Now if I fall asleep, it is just annoying to get woken up by some strange music. I do not know what my brain thinks while I am listening.
Inconsistent and unreliable. Playback pauses and disconnection from airplay devices. This app seems to work better in environments with fewer airplay or Bluetooth devices. Nonetheless it is finicky and erratic. Apple Music, Spotify and other similar apps are rock solid in the same environments.
I have been a public radio supporter for more than 30 years. As I live overseas, I rely on this app for my access to NPR and am an NPR+ subscriber. Despite being a subscriber, the app inserts messages asking me to become a subscriber between every 3 or 4 stories. Worse yet, it is the same message, which is driving me to stop using the app and return to listening to live radio. Please stop the fundraising messages for your loyal subscribers!
Replacing the old NPR app a while ago was imo a mistake; it decreased my engagement but at least I could listen to the hourly 5min news. In this latest version the 5 min national news updates disappeared. I liked NPR and supported it but without the news, I no longer will.
