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.

I love the 5 minute news brief at the top of every hour, I listen to multiple podcasts and sometimes stream the news live…this has been a very handy app, while living at home and abroad. However, after the newest upgrade there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete episodes from my podcast lists - I don’t listen to every single one & don’t want them clogging up my phone. There are other annoying changes, but this is the most frustrating. Please add a delete button. Thanks for everything else - I use the app daily!
Upgrade???
This is the first review I have ever written, but I am motivated to write it because this redesigned app is disgraceful. The old app functioned perfectly for me, yet this new one is so full of bugs, it is completely useless. I am frustrated because again, I will have to find a new way to stream NPR programs. Please, please, please, just get it right once and then stop with the "improvements".
Quality not quantity
Keeps me up to date with relevant, thoughtful stories. Avoids flashy titles (click bait) and stories are fact checked before being published.
Good
Easy to use UI
Simple is good
Nothing too flashy but all the great stuff you get on npr. Faster and simpler to search on than the website, by the way.
Does what you expect
News updated frequently, doesn't crash. Works well, if a bit unexciting.
