  • Hot mess but slowly improving

    This app is unfortunately a hot mess. I’m a two decade NPR listener. I appreciate going through the daily news stories and building a playlist to listen to throughout the day. Unbelievably they merged the old NPR app which did this fairly well with the NPR One app which is a complete mess of shows, podcasts and ads, without key features like being able to manually sort the playlist. Thankfully that feature has now returned and slow improvements are being made (however if you listen to NPR podcasts I would highly recommend you do it in a dedicated podcast app rather than here).

    Suggestions for future updates: 1) a Playlist button in the interface, not hidden 3-4 clicks away. There’s plenty of space at the bottom for one extra button and it’s very annoying to have to click multiple times just to get to it 2) the ability to turn off the annoying ticker at the bottom which shows what you watched previously. Just an X at the end would suffice. It is very annoying. 3) The ability to pin the shows that I like at the top of the Podcasts page instead of having them constantly change because you think you know what I want at different times of the day (which you don’t!) 4)Why do I get audio ads in my playlist? I’m a member of NPR/ PBS

  • NPR no longer appears to function correctly on my iPad Pro

    Even after removing app and after that deleting and reinstalling the NPR App, it seems to not function correctly. The App either freezes or show “oops” errors.

    Regrettably, I have removed it permanently. I didn’t use it as much as other news Apps but I did enjoy it when I did. Tis a shame.
  • I miss the old NPR

    The old app was better, and I see no improvements in this one. I wish there were easier ways to see articles in the basic heading (US news, intl news, arts, music,…), then look at listings. There is too much use of pictures and not enough use of text. I hate search, and I want to be able to look through articles. In general, I wish I could have a text-only option. I dislike the space and waste of pictures.

    And then there is the inexplicable decline in content. Covid seems to have killed the brain cells of all NPR employees. I had to stop listening then. I only go for the few remaining islands of sanity, like Science Friday. The bias in subject choice and tone has become sad, unintellectual propaganda. Overall, NPR is embarrassingly bad now. I am not a conservative. I am a registered Democrat. It is too krazy-leftist for me. Some stories sound like Saturday Night Live skits, or right-wing memes. It hurts because I was more invested in NPR than I realized. I hope someone sane can right the ship. If they are too blind to that, they should probably seek out openly conservative hires for a few years just to something, anything that does not sound like it is coming from a 1960’s hippy commune.
