This app is simple to use and quick to access. ### 4/5 — Needs a tweak *2018-02-18* I would like a clear option to find what is currently playing on my NPR and how to start the show from the beginning. Clearly I would like to start from the beginning by listening all day but that’s not a real option. That’s why streaming is a game-changer for listeners/supporters. Please make a “now playing” with “start from beginning” a clear option. ### 5/5 — Solid App *2017-11-28* Easy to access and always have the best luck with it for live streams. ### 5/5 — Simple, consistent, and reliable. *2017-11-05* I use this app every single day, including when I travel worldwide. I appreciate always being able to access news and information from back home. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-08-16* I like having my favorite radio station available with just one touch. ### 4/5 — Big improvement *2017-05-27, version 3.8.11* The latest version of this app is much better than the previous one. It was nice to be able to stream KPR 1 or KPR 2, but it's even better to also be able to read or listen to individual stories. That is especially true of the state and local news. KPR is my main source of news at all levels, so continued improvements to the mobile app are critical to my staying informed. As a sustaining member, this is an investment I'm happy to see the station make! ### 4/5 — Great App *2017-04-27, version 3.8.1* Now I can hear news and classical music no matter where I am. Love it! ### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use *2017-04-11, version 3.8.1* Brings the best in Journalism right to your device. ### 5/5 — News and Entertainment *2017-02-15, version 3.8.1* This is a great app for news and entertainment. I love that I can listen straight from the app! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken on iOS 18 *2024-12-17, version 4.6.33* App no longer plays audio. ### 1/5 — The App Doesn’t Work Anymore *2021-03-11* I am giving this app 1 star because it doesn’t stream at all.

I am disappointed! ### 1/5 — Nothing will play *2016-11-04, version 2.0* Nothing plays ### 1/5 — Won't load *2016-09-30, version 2.0* Little circle keeps spinning and it says "offline" ### 2/5 — App still stops playing news randomly *2022-01-26* Even with restarted iPhone and cleared memory cache. FIX THIS.
