Hourly News for Positive User Reviews

Simple. PerfectIt does one thing and it does it to perfection. I put it on while doing my teeth in the morning and at night. Update: this app is still perfect and will work with the new iOS!.Version: 1.7.2

IndispensableHourly is one of the most used apps on my phone. A solid piece of software..Version: 1.7.1

NewsGet instant 3 minute headlines from uk or USA. Very handy.Version: 1.3.3

Very HandyWhile it has occasionally experienced some glitches, the developer has done a good job to update and maintain the app. I don't need custom sources, but will probably buy the feature just to support the developer..Version: 1.7.3

ExcellentFront page of my phone for years now. Simple and fast. My one complaint is that the app seems to occasionally start playing on its own on my 7Plus, even if it’s locked and sitting on a table.Version: 1.7.3

As commended by top USA Journalist Lee StranahanSo I had this commended to me so thought a daily bulletin radio headlines app is ideal. Set it and forget it. Gives headlines from a wide variety of networks, so you can both get a quick digest and compare biases. Brilliant.Version: 1.7.3

Hourly NewsConvenient source of audio news updates from multiple sources..Version: 1.7.3

Really enjoy thisIt's great.Version: 1.4

Better to have more choicesBut as far as it so good!.Version: 1.5

Excellent appUse this app frequently. Very handy.Version: 1.3.3

ExcellentConcise, objective and instantly available..Version: 1.5

Simple to use cool appThis does what it says on the tim. It is simply a no fuss, easy to use cool app. Further more, the developers have spent some time focussing on accessibility as this app works perfectly with VoiceOver..Version: 1.4

Great news app!This is one of the best news sources I have used as you can pick and choose your favorite media!.Version: 1.4

CBS News not loud enoughFor some reason, for the past few months, CBS News plays at a much LOWER volume than all the other newscasts. Any idea why? It used to not be that way..Version: 1.7.3

Terrific news appEasy to use and great source of international headline news.Version: 1.6

NewsWonderful app with a goodly number of news feeds available. I don't believe there's anything else quite like it in the App Store. Latest update (1.7.3) further improves the opening speed of the news selections. Unfortunately, more commercials on some of the feeds have lessened an otherwise positive experience..Version: 1.7.3

GoodThis app is great. In its simplicity.Version: 1.5

Essential app to my morning commuteGreat app if you want to really know the real story and SES how others see us! Needs a 64bit update to run on iOS 11 or it's gonna be toast! Hear us Urban?? You have thousands of dedicated users who would gladly 'buy it again'. Update please!! 2 Oct 2020 Update: 14.2 Dev beta 2 breaks the app will not execute..Version: 1.7.3

Simple and greatSimple interface and great news sources..Version: 1.4

Love it.Great selection..Version: 1.5

Very nice, very usefulSo happy it's been updated for future ios's!.Version: 1.7.3

Love it.So useful and I listen to it every morning while I get ready for work. Was thrilled to see they updated recently which means it'll still be supported for awhile. Had to write a review to show support and how dearly loved and appreciated this app is from a silent user!.Version: 1.7.3

Class appThis has become my favourite news app and saves so much time..Version: 1.3.2

GreatI originally wrote this four years ago. Still true. A news shot when you need it. Perfect. Abso-freakin-lutely AWESOME. One of about a half dozen apps I use every single day!.Version: 1.7.3

Needs workThis is a very simple yet efficient audio news app. The problem is it cuts out when Google Maps gives audio directions. You have to go back into the app and push play again in order for the news to continue..Version: 1.7.3

Hourly newsLove it. Brings me up to date on news from various lenses in a few minutes..Version: 1.5

My go-to hourly news app!I've enjoyed for several years now having a convenient way to audibly scan a cross-section of breaking news. Helps me avoid the single-world-view trap. I'm so glad they've updated it to keep it current with Apple's iOS changes..Version: 1.7.3

AwesomeSimple, uncluttered, awesome with voiceover. All i want is Aussie radio..Version: 1.4

Simply PerfectI use this app every day. It is perfectly simple and simply perfect. Synchronizing the settings via iCloud worked perfectly when I recently got a new iOS device. I have the OSX version too and use both regularly..Version: 1.6.2

Like the app.I like this app very much. It is very convenient and works well..Version: 1.6

Hourly news.A must in my morning walk. I love it. I can hear different news outlets and get different points of view. All in one app..Version: 1.7.3

Nice appExactly what I was looking for..Version: 1.4

Superb app - just what I neededLove this app! Two things that would make it perfect. More sources, asnmany have pointed out. The other one would be push alerts for when the news sources update. That would make this app truly useful..Version: 1.3.2

Good AppA simple concept but nicely executed. Even if it has just one news feed, I'd still think it's a nice app to have on both my phone and laptop. But if it can, at some point, include feed from local news (local NPR station or up in Canada, local CBC) that would make this app perfect..Version: 1.4

Great AppI like this app as it's easy to use and plays my favorite new shows consecutively. I would definitely recommend this App to others who enjoy listening to the news..Version: 1.7.3

NPR newsAlways quality news in a noisy world..Version: 1.0.0

Excellent app.I am a news junky and this feeds my habit nicely. User friendly. Intuitive. Great clear sound. And best of all, it works well..Version: 1.3.3

Hands Free Listening to Multiple NewscastsGreat to use when doing lengthy tasks around the house. One newscast folds into another, with cast order rearrangeable. The app does need a way of replaying the last 10 seconds and a way of moving the newscast ahead by dragging the playhead. Also the list of radio sources is skimpy. A much larger list should be available with the paid custom source option..Version: 1.7.3

My morning "Go to" App.A great way to get the latest news and an app that I use almost every morning while making my coffee and breakfast. Easy to use. Any troubles in using this app, for me, have been feed and/or internet connection related and not fault of the app. Would like to see the following features considered: -Skip forward/back 10 seconds buttons on player screen. -Way to send Dev a tip -Option to select/play sources in a one page playlist type of format -Toggled Notification that communicates feed download/stream issue..Version: 1.7.3

Crappy adsI love getting the news this way — until it goes over to CBS News. Two-thirds of the way through, several extremely irritating ads start blaring away. They’re always the same ads! Ads don’t belong on this app! That said, I’m told that CBS has itself added the ads. But I have been given no instructions on how to contact CBS News!.Version: 1.7.3

RobertAs a blind user I find this app very user friendly and effectiveg.Version: 1.6.2

Must haveLove this app. Use it every day!!.Version: 1.6.4

Great appSimple and reliable..Version: 1.5

HandyGreat.Version: 1.3.2

NewsI am very happy to use this application to know and update my information about my Beloved Canada while abroad. Thank you..Version: 1.5

My news radioI use it everyday Well done.Version: 1.6.5

A constant companionI enjoy the news. Moreover, I enjoy receiving copy from a broad base of countries. This application is a constant companion and performs as advertised. However, I would enjoy more feeds, from different sources and in different languages. The English only policy is too parochial. In principle, I have awarded four stars to allow room for improvement..Version: 1.7.1

NiceHow an application may look when it feels fully suitable to use, on my iPad..Version: 1.6.6

BrilliantOne of the reviews said there is no uk radio on there i looked It might be better if you added USA new station on app Me i dont mind the format is great excellent 👍👍 Good job.Version: 1.7.3

My Top Used appGreat way to catch up on the news. Works very well..Version: 1.6

Great app for news.Great app. Gives me the hourly news from around the world..Version: 1.6.6

Hourly news appLove it! I use it every day,it's very user friendly and informative..Version: 1.6.5

Excellent news appI depend on this app daily to keep informed about the latest breaking news. It's an excellent app to start your day off and receive a quick glimpse of the world..Version: 1.7.3

Hourly News/NPR/The DailyExcellent go to for news and analysis.Version: 1.7.3

Great and simpleGreat and easy to use app..Version: 1.4

Concise and accurateBest breakfast app that get you up to date with world news in about 10 minutes. Nobody should leave their house in the morning without clicking this app. I only wish they'd get rid of ALL the ads but I quickly got over it..Version: 1.6

Love it!It allows me to skip reading news online which is a big time waster for me..Version: 1.7.3

Smooth!Excellent app, smooth, clean, simple. The developers worked hard to make it so easy..Version: 1.7.3

AwesomeSimple and easy to use!.Version: 1.6.1

Great appDoes its job perfectly with an uncluttered screen interface. Just needs an Australian news source to take it beyond awesome..Version: 1.4

Absolutely EsstentialAbsolutely essential news update for me every morning and at bedtime. I follow it every day..Version: 1.7.3

AwesomeThis is one of those apps you wonder why someone did not think up sooner. It is great and especially for people like me love international news does a quality job. Bravo!.Version: 1.6.5

My go-to news appAt the gym in the mornings it just plays through all my favorite stations and I get the news I need with no fuss. I can add podcasts easily and this app makes it very easy for you to access the news you need. Simple and intuitive. I would add another star if the interface were somewhat slicker and not just black with a play button..Version: 1.7.3

Hourly newsA great way to get key news bytes as I start my day. I especially like getting news stories from a variety of sources..Version: 1.7.3

Indispensable for news addictsDoes one thing. Does it well. Open the app, listen to the latest news. That easy. Set your favourite newscasts to play in order of preference. Advance through them or to the next news provider with one swipe of your finger. It would be cool if the app could also allow access to longer news podcasts summarising the whole day's news, rather than just the hourly update..Version: 1.6.2

This app is great!App does what is is designed to do and it does it flawlessly..Version: 1.5

WorthlessThis thing is so buggy it won’t even play. Used to play fine but it’s worthless now. I have kept expecting it would get fixed, but no. It just gets worse and worse. It’s a waste of a dollar..Version: 1.7.3

Hourly newsLove being able to listen while I do a house chore. Nice range of news too!.Version: 1.4

Great News AppI listen to this app every morning to get my news from around the world. Works very well simple interface, great and cheap in app purchase to extend it functionality..Version: 1.6.1

Catch up anytimeAwesome app to keep up with what’s going on in the US and around the world (depending on your news sources of course). Lots of sources available..Version: 1.7.3

Great appExcellent idea, immediate access to news digests. Would like more news feeds..Version: 1.3.1

Great concise world newsEasy app and Quick to get an overview of world news.Version: 1.3.2

Good butThis is a very well laid out app. The interface is clean and uncluttered. It is very accessible to people using Voiceover. The only drawback is that the app is biased toward North America in what streams it offers. I realise the app developer can only use what's available and most content providers are from America..Version: 1.4

All the news in one placeEverything I need to know when I need to know it from multiple sources..Version: 1.7.3

Love this app!I use it daily. Thank you for making this app! I love it so much I feel bad it is free..Version: 1.7.3

AppExcellent app !! Easy to use.Version: 1.3.3

Elegant solution to getting newsA simple but powerful idea forms the basis of this app, which is perfectly implemented. Really useful for getting breadth and depth of news..Version: 1.3.3

ExcellentThis was exactly what I was looking for. Needs some more stations......looking forward to Aussie Radio..Version: 1.3.3

Great and easyLove this—no bells or whistles just audio. Works like a charm and keeps me up to date with news (whether I like it or not). Buy it, you won’t be disappointed..Version: 1.7.3

Hourly NewsSimply Excellent.Version: 1.4

Excellent AppIt does exactly what I want it to do with ease and in an incredibly user friendly way. The Best There is..Version: 1.7.3

Unbiased , no advertisement and internationalTRUELY there is no free news media in the USA ; all are owned by special interest groups besides you can sit many hours (( many hours )) to get any worthwhile information , black out from important local and international news but Hugh amount of advertisement , no wander we know so little about the world.Version: 1.7.3

The Quickest news sourceMy go to news app for the latest across the board and world. Keep it up..Version: 1.3.3

Hourly News Excellent.Great while shaving!.Version: 1.6.6

Can't hearGreat content. No volume. Can't hardly hear it. Turn up the volume..Version: 1.7.3

FantasticMy favourite every morning customised news app. From stepping out of bed to leaving home all my news as I want it. Customise exactly what you want to have delivered to your ears when you want it and then sit back and listen as and when you want. Great app!!!.Version: 1.7.3

Great App!I check out the news mid-morning and mid-afternoon. The variety of sources for the news updates gives me a better understanding of world news than my local TV newscast..Version: 1.7.3

Wonderful will pay regularly for feaaturesThis is a wonderful app. That. Makes my mornings a lot bettor! It would be great if I could have it start automatically at a certain time and support for feeds that require authentication soo I can get everything I need all at. Once. For both features I would be happy to subscribe to pay for the app continually..Version: 1.7.3

Love this appIt allows me to have accesses to the latest news, though only American and British.Version: 1.5

NPR hourly newsFantastic. Listen to all 5 stations every day during exercise, driving, etc..Version: 1.7.3

Crashes every single timeThe app crashes every single time on iOS 11 with an iPhone X. It also hasn’t been optimized but the crashing has been happening for months. Update: I contacted the developer, who was very responsive. The issue is a bug relating to a popover about custom sources, he says, and I expect a fix will be out soon. I’ve changed my review to 5 stars from 2..Version: 1.7.3

Great appThe first app I open each morning.Version: 1.4

Great news podcast appThis is what I've been looking 4 among news apps. A simple control panel, quality news podcast in a few minutes, with sufficient sources..Version: 1.3.2

Terrific!Simple and succinct. What more could you ask for? 5 stars.Version: 1.4

GeatI use it every day.Version: 1.6.5

Awesome, just need something for us Australians.I agree with the other guy. Great app but an Australian station would top it off for me.Version: 1.4

Use every dayLove this app! Great work. Use it every day - sometimes many times a day. Would love if you could add skip forward 15 or 30 seconds button. Cheers!.Version: 1.7.3

Great! Could improveI LOVE the I formation that Hourly News provides in such a convenient, succinct manner. However, I believe captions are necessary. My best friend is def and cannot use this app. Also, many people o show the app have had trouble enjoying it because "they speak too fast.".Version: 1.7.3

Yippee... iOS10+ support :)I've used this app for years and was worrying it would disappear after the next big iOS update. Well, a new version has appeared so I can carry on using it. The app is great... choose your news feeds, set it going and it plays each in turn bringing you up to date, especially if you've just missed the top of the hour. Thanks to the Dev... who was quick to respond to my question through the support email link too. Happy again :).Version: 1.7.0

Simple, easy to useThe scrubbing to be able to fast forward Could be easier to use.Version: 1.7.3

Simples...:A straight forward app that gives access to world radio news bulletins. Works very well.Version: 1.6.6

It works, and provides good varietyNot just uk and American, Canada is here to via cbc. New streams seem to be coming online, although they don't always work right away. Good update app..Version: 1.5

International PerspectivesGreat for getting different perspectives on the news from around the world.Version: 1.6.6

Everyday appThe first app of my day, everyday! Works great 99.9% of the time..Version: 1.6.6

Nice morning routineCoffee, walk the dogs and a few minutes of news & sports from around the world. Love it!.Version: 1.6.3

Pretty goodPretty good, wish can add more channels.Version: 1.3.1

Handy News Digest.A convenient way to start the day with your preference of news sources. My only criticism: Updates slow in coming. My version started slipping from one podcast to another, before each was complete(while my Iphone warned that the app version needed to be updated). Eventually, the app must have been updated, because it stopped skipping through the podcasts..Version: 1.7.3

Good AppGood.Version: 1.6.6

Great App!!Simple and Easy to use!.Version: 1.5

Very convenient app. Effective and informativeThis app is of abundant news and effectively designed. Also, it is convenient to use..Version: 1.7.3

Big FanThis app is so customizable and comes with a good collection of news sources to draw news report audio from. And if you have a specific source you would like to add to your collection, you can! Albeit, for a buck but hey, it stays with the app once and for all! Thank you people who made this, you help me keep up to date with global matters and local matters in a fantastic format! I only review apps that I find nearly indispensable, this is one of them..Version: 1.7.3

GREAT RADIO NEWS APP ‼️This app allows you to hear what almost every radio station use to broadcast, usually at the top of the hour. Not any more! Broadcast radio is pathetic now. So glad to have this app👍.Version: 1.7.3

Love it. One of my mainstays.Use it all the time. UI could use some tweaking and I’d like to see a wider selection of default newscasts, but can’t complain about a well done app that costs nothing..Version: 1.7.3

Randomly startsI totally enjoy this app; makes it very easy to get updated information. HOWEVER, it goes off randomly while my phone is no active and/or in my purse. Basically I’m in church, in a meeting, in places where I am NOT at all on the phone or connected to it and it starts playing. Any ideas how to stop this from happening?.Version: 1.7.3

MrExcellent app -worked flawlessly.Version: 1.6

Stay InformedI love this app. It keeps me informed as I travel, which I do 6 months of the year. I have selected three channels and whenever I have wifi, I have the latest news..Version: 1.5

My favourite appI listen every morning to get my news and the different versions from different news sources. The only beef I have is the ads that some of the news (fox I think) channels sneak in..Version: 1.6

Straight to the pointLove it.Version: 1.4

Have had this app for years!My only wish is that developers would stay on top of updates for compatibility. For the last several months I've had issues with delays and playing the sources, and received messages saying the app was having compatibility problems. I'm hoping that's resolved for now. Thanks for a great app otherwise!.Version: 1.7.3

I really like this appKeep up the good work!.Version: 1.5
