Uses AI voice
Sick of listening to AI voices everywhere.
Keep it up!
Awesome!!! Great news ingestion. Used the human filter (could make it part of onboarding). (btw saw article restart b/c I triggered third-party app dictation while it was reading.) Read along is really neat. Would help to see full article in a frame with the original formatting and any assets. Thank you!

Day two of trying the app, updating my review. Listening to humans read the MIT review and Bloomberg, etc. is essentially perfect. If I could see the whole article, kind of like Microsoft Edge Immersive Reader, then the app would be also perfect when I'm sitting down and want to read along. I know this is a big ask because even the native iOS functionality is buggy, and Edge is far from perfect too (also privacy leak to MS). Publishers, I hope you would appreciate us being able to see the article like it was meant to be seen!
Some of the narrators you could listen to for hours for sure.
PS: is my data ever used for anything besides delivering the service?

No way to register
What a joke of an app! First with all the questions like it’s Ticketmaster looking for ways to spam me. Nope, I just want to listen to FP without all the Noa bugs. But… there’s no way to create an account with Noa. That’s odd if not a terrible bug. Whatever. I don’t need it. ProPublica and FP work better than this junk app.

Misleading
I found out about this app due to listening to articles in New York magazine. To my surprise, there are no New York magazine articles in the NOA app. To listen to any content, I would have to sign up for a paid account, even though I already pay for a news subscription. All I wanted was to be able to find narrated articles in one spot for New York magazine, and this is definitely not that. Waste of time, and disappointing.

News Across the Spectrum
Been listening to NOA for a couple of years now, and really like how comprehensive the selection is. I like the range of articles, across the areas of my own selected interests. I find the material ranges from quite detailed to great summary or overviews. Also it is very timely and current, with important takes on current events and situations. All in all a very solid app.

No thanks
Downloaded this app when I saw it was possible to listen to an article I was reading. Within 4-5 days I was bombarded with emails. No thanks. App deleted.
Off my couch, out for a walk
Hitting 62 years old brought both good and bad changes. Retirement is good, Couch-Lock is bad.
Noa turns my daily walks into time well spent. I choose to listen to and learn about current news and insights from respected journalists. Since I’m not tied to my TV, I’m feeling healthier and better informed.

Recent glitches
This app was trouble free nearly every day for my initial year but now it routinely informs me that I am disconnected from the Internet despite having a full local WiFi signal as well as a 2-bar 5g signal. All other Internet dependent apps on my phone are fully functional.
Buggy download:(
I was so excited when I found out about this app. But immediately the download is dragging and glitching. I haven’t been able to get passed the login, it’s says “Error,” and my account cannot be found. Very frustrating, I’m hoping they can fix it and I can update my review.
AI Narration filter needed
Please add a filter so AI-generated narrated articles can be removed from searches
They forgot to allow new users to create an account
Downloaded the app for the first time. After initial setup, there is no place for me to use my email to create a new account. I don't want to sign in with any of the other services. I just want to use my email to create an account. Apparently, there is no way to do this in the app.
Good source of interesting articles
Its a good way to learn something since I am more of an audio guy. My request is to have an Apple Watch stand alone app so we can listen while jogging even if we forgot our phones. Also, can we have more articles from the economist magazine?
Fantastic App!
I listen to NOA almost every day. Tremendous variety of material on a wide variety of topics from top sources! The narration is very well done too!
Ms.
Amazing! Keeps me up to date on all I need to know.
Quick concept, poor execution
The concept behind this app is fantastic and I enjoy listening to the content, when it works. The app now freezes, box down, calls up the wrong program. Needs an update.
The app won’t let you create an account!
After downloading this app, it tells you to pick the news sources and then tells you to login! Not create a new account; just the option to login. So how are you supposed to create a new account?!
The Best Way to Stay Informed – Effortless and Engaging!
Noa offers a seamless listening experience with top-notch articles from the world’s best sources. I especially love Harvard Business Review and Fast Company.
The UX is smooth, and listening is far more enjoyable than reading. Whether commuting or working out, Noa makes staying informed effortless. Highly recommended!

Great mix of publishers
I love listening to quick and long form articles.
Where's the CarPlay port?
This is a great app. It should be a natural for listening in the car. I hope we'll see a CarPlay interface soon!
Slow, no fast forward
App is slow, you can’t fast forward, and overall the ui is very low quality. You’re better off going to publishers individually.
