✓ So glad I’m not alone in loving the NPR News app (text edition)It was a lesson for me - don’t just blindly trust the ‘update all‘ option in my iPad Air to bring in all the latest and greatest app versions. When I discovered my iPhone no longer had the trusty NPR News app because it was replaced by the newer NPR version, I was quick to save the old app in my iPad Air by skipping the app update always. Hoping to safeguard that app, I couldn’t bring myself to buying a newer iPad Pro that might auto update every app to the latest version. Well here’s good news: I finally bought the iPad Pro last week and at set up time, chose to install apps from the iPad Air backup. Viola! My beloved NPR News app was transferred over as is. Now I’m a happy camper and don’t no body messes with taking away the support of that app!.Version: 4.2.0

✓ Useful and glad to have itI use this app all the time, haven't had any problems with it crashing. Not only does it give you access to the wide number of radio stations you want to listen to and articles to read from, it allows you to pick out certain NPR shows to specifically listen to. Living in the UK I'm glad they have it, as a true Seattleite I don't miss NPR even when I'm abroad..Version: 3.7

✓ Great content, just want to downloadGreat content and easy to use app, I just wish I could download the segments for offline use. I have a few of the podcasts but still the shorter audio clips would be handy for when commuting and out of range.Version: 3.7

✓ Updated review: betterSo I’m leaving my previous review at the bottom so people know what I’m talking about. I received a developer response asking me to provide them some more info, and I just kept forgetting to respond to it so I never actually gave them additional feedback. But the primary station and crashing issues I gripes about below seem to have been resolved. It’s still not the most intuitive interface, but now I like it better than the old app. It’s been working pretty reliably well for the past week or so. Not my fave app, but solid for my use (which is just listening to my local station in the AM while I get ready for work). Newest version is crazy buggy. I’ve had to search for and set my primary station pretty much daily. Sometimes the search function decides not to work and I need to close and reopen the app. Sometimes the whole deal just freezes and I need to close and reopen the app. Pausing causes it to crash. Dropping the signal causes it to crash. Navigating through the app causes it to crash. Fix them bugs!!.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Just the newsI liked the old app before the redesign better. Why do I have to dig through all the podcasts to find Morning Edition which is a flagship program? And why do the stories sometime end and I’m automatically listening to an hour long podcast on some other random topic? There are less top stories available to read than before, which is a way a definitely use the app, not just to listen. I may be in the minority on this, but I don’t like how the app knows what I’m interested in and tries to feed me more of that type story. One of the things I appreciate about NPR is that it isn’t an echo chamber like so many other platforms. I really just want to listen to the news of the day. But, all things considered (no pun intended!), I love this app and get more news here than any other source..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Content is king; and interface is cleanThe best content out there and a very clean interface. Great how you can read stories and have link to audio of it that is easily accessible. When add Sharing and ability to scrub audio in upcoming release will exceed 5 stars..Version: 0
✓ You’ve got work to do, but it’s still the better app.I’ve been using the NPR App for years. I listen to morning edition during the week, I listen to weekend edition at least one day if not both days on the weekend, and use it to listen to other articles on occasion as they peak my interest. It has been a great way to get my news with less of the crap that I see on the news stations. It is far from a perfect app, but it seems that someone is intentionally making it worse and trying to drive listeners to the NPR One app which I have no desire to use because you cannot set a playlist or even simply find Morning Edition in order to listen to the whole thing.I’ve never had an NPR station. I have always listen through the apps and now it’s becoming harder to do so..Version: 4.5.5
✓ ThanksThanks for the great app NPR..Version: 3.7
✓ Love NPRI love NPR - puts most Australian media to shame.Version: 3.7
✓ Love it!Up to the minute research!.Version: 3.8.2
✓ Already miss the Old AppI should have known better than to go with the new NPR app that replaced NPR News. There was so much to love about it. Although I do Support my local NPR Station, I also like to browse, including locally produced programs from other parts of the country, which are not carried by my local station. That was easy to do in the old app. I simply brought up the station, and chose an on-demand program. These shows were displayed alongside the live streams. In addition , I could create a Favorites list, and even add items to a playlist for later use. In the new version, all of these features are gone. Now, the only way to get on-demand material from other stations seems to involve changing one’s favorite station; and, even if you do that, you then have to go to a separate On-Demand tab to get such material, and there are fewer choices of podcasts and topics. For instance, on the old app, I could go to WUNC (not my local station), and listen to podcasts from The People’s Pharmacy. Now, even by making that station my favorite, I found very few choices—and The People’s Pharmacy wasn’t one of them. Then, I had to reset my favorite station; then, to get back to where I was (if it wasn’t my local station), I had to go to Recently Streamed, and _hope to find it there. I hope I will grow to like the new app better, but don’t count on it. The reason I even gave it 4 stars is that I’m a huge fan of NPR..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Hourly news updateI love the 5 minute radio news update, perfect way to get news on my walk to work..Version: 3.7
✓ Awesome NPR appHas a well organised and eclectic selection of interesting articles and radio shows, which are made with the reader and listener in mind..Version: 3.7
✓ Needs UI refresh.This badly needs an update to look more modern. yet the app still works well as is. a recommended news app..Version: 3.9.0
✓ Love itI use the NPR app daily to get my fix of my fave NPR programmes. Rarely crashes and streams really well most of the time. Love it.Version: 3.7.2
✓ NPR is greatBest US news app.Version: 3.7
✓ Great app... And the iOS4 background audio is brilliant, makes it so much more useable..Version: 0
✓ Still some crashingYou can't beat the content, so naturally I would wish for more audio files to be made available online. The app does crash or simply cut out mid-stream now and again. Once I launched an audio story that must have been corrupted -- there was only a deafening screech! On the whole though it is my main source of news. Keeps me sane on my commute!.Version: 3.7
✓ Only one faultExcellent app. I would have rated it five, rather than four, stars if it had adjustable-sized text. I can listen to the comtents but I can't read tbem..Version: 0
✓ Good appDoes what it says..Version: 3.9.15
✓ Exceedingly well thought out news appExcellent news summary but this is found in many news apps. NPR programs are available to play as a whole or by item. Items can be played individually or added to your own playlist for replay later. It's like assembling your own podcast...brilliant! Audio quality is excellent and the app seems quite stable..Version: 0
✓ Excellent appOne of my most used and enjoyed apps. Thank you.Version: 3.9.3

✓ Intelligent and essentialA much loved app which keeps me up to date on the world in an intelligent and critical manner..Version: 3.7
✓ GreatDon't people realize this is American public radio, not Canadian. Come on guys, they don't provide Canadian streams, that's not what they do. This is very elegant and a treat to use. It would be nice to save programs instead of streaming them( while getting fleased by rogers data plan when not on wifi)..Version: 0
✓ Nice looking appLooks good on an iPhone 6, interesting range of coverage, recommended..Version: 3.9.2

✓ PerfectThis app is just the thing to listen, sort & save NPR radio broadcasts, very handy and well set out.Version: 3.1
✓ Lovely little way to keep up to dateI like listening to NPR, now I can read and listen while waiting for a coffee. The local papers where I live are pretty useless, so it's great to have this simple app on my phone. Cheers NPR!.Version: 3.7.2
✓ GreatGreat. Delivers the news. Ez pz. Gg..Version: 3.9.15
✓ Simply amazing.It's pretty difficult to listen to NPR in Canada unles you're sitting at the computer, so this app is wonderful for he sheer mobility and ease of use it provides..Version: 0
✓ Very responsive to feedback.I enjoy this app for being able to select the stories that interest me. I use it most on CarPlay during my commute to and from work. I felt that the CarPlay experience could use some improvement, so I gave some ideas of what I would find helpful, and some suggestions of how to implement those ideas. To my absolute delight, the latest update included a fantastic increase in CarPlay features and functionality. I understand it is egocentric of me to think that my suggestions are what lead to the improvements of the CarPlay experience. But given the otherwise highly coincidental timing, I prefer to think of this instance as an example that the developers genuinely take the feedback section of this app seriously. Even if there was another news radio app with fewer flaws and more features, I would still rate this one higher because of the development team’s demonstrated attention to honest feedback..Version: 5.4.2
✓ Three touches to streaming news...Works flawlessly and as advertised. Hourly news plus It's All Politics and Wait, Wait plus all the other NPR newscasts. Get it..Version: 3.7
✓ Best news station and app.NPR is literally the best news station we have left..Version: 3.9.15
✓ V 3.6.1 is fasterWell, the update has improved the speed, so that's very good news. Of course, as usual with the app it wasn't all smooth -- update would just crash, despite hard reset of phone. Had to delete and reinstall app -- lucky no app data to loose. So, good app, recommended, but continue to push you on quality control and testing ....Version: 3.6.1
✓ UsefulExcellent & user friendly.Version: 3.7
✓ Well balanced newsFeel more informed with a daily dose of NPR.Version: 3.7
✓ Very Useful app with wide variety of topicsBeautifully made app, easy to navigate and a wide variety of subjects.Version: 3.9.14
✓ No frills, comprehensive and responsiveVery good.Version: 3.7
✓ Not loving the new update :(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!.Version: 4.5.6
✓ Great appLove the NPR app... Absolutely essential for me to stay connected to the USA. If you're having problems with crashing, delete ad reinstall. I had problems after the last update but after reinstalling it works perfectly again..Version: 3.7
✓ NPRTop class..Version: 3.7
✓ Best layout for news appsLove this app - so well designed and great content to boot! Even a few hanging moments and having to reinstall couldn't get me to give it any less than 5 stars :).Version: 3.7
✓ Great appNPR maintains its high quality through this app also, in addition to conveying the news..Version: 3.7
