Description

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.

*Listen everywhere*
Love to listen on the go? Get the most out of NPR with CarPlay and Apple Watch. Skip, pause, and search at a glance without even touching your phone.

*Features*
* A personalized mix of stories from NPR and local station
* Stream your local radio station from wherever you are

Still some crashing

You 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!

Please add playlist downloading or larger buffering

Thanks for the return of the playlist!
Please improve how the app deals with restarting after losing the internet connection. I almost always have to close and restart the app after losing the connection. Also, it would be great to have the option of downloading the entire playlist to the buffer. My internet connection is very spotty on my commute, and I miss NPR for a good portion of my train ride. Thanks!

Stick with the iPad format

An....OK app, I guess. But as with NPR one, a downgrade from the very old good iPad app, NPR News.
Here, print articles are jumbled with audio, so one has to scroll through them ALL to just make a playlist😩
I will always support NPR, but their app designers are far more interested in bad “new” technology to predict what you want and pushing that at you than focusing on the quality of a good thing they had.
