Latest version inferior to previous version

The latest version of the app was clearly developed in a room of product managers who designed the app by committee with no regard to user feedback or user testing. The previous version, with a grid of programs per row and a swipeable list of stories was such a useful way to build up a personalised and relevant playlist. This latest version is just rubbish. Please bring back the grid, and stop redesigning for the sake of redesigning.

NPR fixed sth that’s not broken

The new app is difficult to navigate, it doesn’t offer the playlist option anymore which was such a great feature. It crashes regularly. I wish I never had updated the app. I love NPR‘s reporting, though.

Version 4.0.2 too user unfriendly, app is now unusable

I used to make a play list and then listen to its content. The new update has removed the play list feature. I don’t have time to browse for a story over and over again. The app has become unusable for me.

I love NPR, but not this app

I use this app a lot, and listen to morning edition, all things considered, and the Saturday and Sunday shows. That said, the user interface is clunky, and could be significantly improved. Moreover, after a period of usage, the app starts to crash, and sometimes even makes the phone reboot. After a short while of this, it becomes impossible to use, crashing immediately every time I try to open it. At that point, I have to delete the app and reinstall it. I would love to give this app 5 stars. The content is great, but that app not.

Very Useful app with wide variety of topics

Beautifully made app, easy to navigate and a wide variety of subjects

Tiny screen, doesn't resize

This is not for iPad. Or even a larger iPhone? I can only see half the headline, it doesn't display properly on my iPad mini at all.

Nice looking app

Looks good on an iPhone 6, interesting range of coverage, recommended.

News

needs UI refresh.

this badly needs an update to look more modern. yet the app still works well as is. a recommended news app.

Excellent app

Pretty stable and a great range of news and views Wouldn't be without it.
