### 3/5 — Great when it worked

*2022-11-02, version 1.01*

Will there ever be an update???

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated!! Come on people

*2022-01-05, version 1.01*

Update this needed app so it works again!

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2021-10-03, version 1.01*

Needs update for app to work on iPhone.

### 1/5 — Outdated app now nagware, maybe malware

*2021-09-12, version 1.01*

When this app ceased working with the current iOS I deleted it, but now — even though the app is supposedly deleted from my iPhone— I routinely get a notice that “NPR finder needs to be updated: The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of iOS”. I get the option to keep or delete it (which is odd since I already deleted it). So I re-delete it, only to get the same notice every time I visit the App Store. It has become nagware and I am worried that it has somehow left code / malware on my phone since I can’t get rid of it.

### 1/5 — Better off just doing a google search

*2021-04-06*

We traveled to 22 states last year.  Thought this app would be great, but it did not accurately tell us the local npr station 75% of the time. Pointless. The developers should be embarrassed!

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2021-02-18*

I travel a lot and This saves me from stopping and trying to find the local station. It works great for me! Thank you!

### 2/5 — Wrong station

*2021-02-15*

It does not give me the closest station. Instead of a station 15 miles away , it gives me one 40 miles away.  I don’t know how to tell it to give me a list and let me choose,if it is even able to do that. Apps for amateur radio repeaters use that approach.

### 2/5 — Limited

*2021-01-13*

Only one lists one station and often not repeaters or translators. For example at my home, the one it lists, I cannot listen to. But I can get five other ones.

### 1/5 — Only one station

*2020-11-25*

Not useful when traveling. I travel full time and like to listen to load npr news stations. If the nearest npr station is a music station, it’s not at all helpful. It should show all the nearby stations to be more useful.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2020-08-25, version 1.01*

Only 1 listed. Just deleted the app. 95% useless!
