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*

Ratings and Reviews
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.
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.
No background mode
Radio stops playing as soon as screen turns black. Which means you can only listen it to a minute or so and then have to turn the screen on if you want to continue. I like NPR but this app makes it impossible to listen to it.
