Amazing Station but App has Issues
Love NTS but a couple of things with the app:
- destroys the battery. Using the NTS app to stream runs my battery down in about 3 hours. Using Apple Music to stream NTS, the battery is fine all day.
- no resume. Some of the shows are multiple hours long. If you click into another show and then go back, the previous show starts again from the beginning. There should be a resume and a way to mark episodes as played.
UI suggestion
I really like the app, phenomenal selection of music, curated by quality selectors and artist. I just have one suggestion, having used the app for a while, I’d really like an icon that would tell me if I’ve listened to a show already. Small thing, but very helpful! Cheers
Keeps crashing in background when phone is in sleep
Only since most recent update.
Running hot!
I love the station and listen to it all the time, however the latest version of the app is pretty hard on the battery. It’s always been a bit of a battery hog, but now when I use it on mobile data the phone (iPhone 13) gets extremely hot. I’ve tested with other music streaming apps and it’s definitely only NTS which causes the issue. It also makes battery evaporate. I lost like 10% on a half hour train ride! Needs sorting!
Great app for a great radio station
I would love it if you were able to save tracks to a favourites list, which you could then export to Spotify, like radio FIP allows. Great app for a great radio station, does suffer occasionally from connection issues on iPhone SE 2020 though.
Love the app
But could just do with better orientation when horizontal and a playback button for when listening to past episodes!
Love NTS! A few tweaks to be made on app
First of all, I love NTS, what a great concept, great station, awesome treasure trove of music. The app is generally good however still some bugs on past episodes not generating meaning users miss out, playback not working on how far you’re into an episode, searching for lists that don’t appear properly, so definitely room for improvement! All in all though, a revelation, keep up the amazing content and development :)
Oh so this is where all the cool people have been hanging out.
Regular live sets from the likes of Bicep, Bonobo, Four Tet and Floating Points for free - need I say more.
Unbelievably good app for independent radio
The ability to listen to the whole archive of previous shows is an absolute blessing, but sometimes I forget which ones I’ve already listened to, so adding a little indication of whether a show has been played would be hella useful, and since there is already the history function of showing what you have played recently, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be possible. Keep up the amazing work

Almost perfect platform....but unfortunately favouriting hosts and shows is very glitchy and these are usually not saved or lost. Please fix 🙏
