Might be the first to say: great app, terrible djs

I finally found a DJ that I liked (Hot Mess), and it turns out to be his last show. Why? Every other dj seemingly can’t resist putting house, noise, or elevator muzak in their playlists at some point or another. I’m trying to play music at work, in a public setting, and I’m forcing them to listen to weird music that I don’t even like. It’s a disservice to weird music. There’s too many times where I’ve been like “wtf man,” and had to try to find a new station because the set starts out well and then they find the most annoying and unlistenable song to play and it lasts 20 minutes. Sometimes it’s a hit, and it’s a really great hour of music. Way more often it’s a miss. Just ended my subscription.

Edit: got fired from my job and I’m still listening to nts at home…guess i’m hooked.

Great app, incredible artists, amazing curation

An endless, always expanding vault of beautifully curated music from every decade, from all parts of the globe. Spend a little time searching and you’ll find countless sets featuring music you would have never come across otherwise. Obsessed and recommend to everyone who loves music.

SE issues

On iPhone SE I cannot play any premade playlists. Love you NTS!

NTS is great. The app is not.

Since I started listening years ago, the app has had about a 50% success rate at playing music when you click the play button. Yknow, the main thing it's meant to do. It's especially troublesome when resuming a program you started previously. The website works fine. Any other streaming service on my device works fine. And the app works fine too, if you force quit it enough times. Which is quite tiresome. Please, make it work.

So many updates

NTS app updates regularly but with no real changes. It’s worse than just using the mobile website. It also contains numerous trackers.
Just use the website.

CarPlay issues

I love NTS and want to be able to listen to it in my car. I can usually access Live, Mixtapes, and Discovery fine, but when I try to access "My NTS," it tells me I need to log in on my phone, even though I'm already logged in and it's dangerous to use my phone while driving. Can this be fixed?

Updates almost every day!

Updates almost every day, yet still doesn’t work very well, and keeps getting bigger.

Best music discovery on earth

Huge treasure trove of music, endless choice of amazing curation on a slick app.

Freedom

This app is your path to discovery and emancipation from the algorithms that enslave us.

big big love

amazing music, amazing app, being a supporter is 1000% worth it. use this app literally every single day

Wow!

I love what you guys are doing with this thing! I am a huge radio fan, and it is refreshing to know that live radio is still around. I haven’t had this for very long, but so far so good. You’ve just gained yourselves a long time listener! Thank you so much!

Amazing content AWFUL DESIGN

Anyone know what is even going on with this player?? Downright confounding to use. My wife turns it off because she gets so frustrated trying to navigate. What a hot mess.

Great App

Love NTS, love the App, but i‘d really appreciate a download function to listen to my favorite shows offline.

Infinite Mixtapes not working!

I love NTS! But on this app infinite mixtapes just do not load. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling to no avail

A valuable public service

Only been an NTS listener for a few months, but seeing how responsive the devs are to bug reports, seeing those issues addressed in release notes just a few weeks later, shows that they're no less serious about a good UX vs. their commitment to vibrant music culture.

I still experience bugs with the schedule scrolling days into the past or future upon opening, and Airplay doesn't work at all on my Android TV - but Chromecast will at least stream good audio, even if you need to manually restart the stream to populate the next show's info. They apparently addressed some of these issues in fixes but I think my devices might be the edge cases.

Despite these gripes, I'm more than happy to have recently become an NTS supporter - what a steal for a passionate wealth of diverse, HUMAN-CURATED programs, all accessible within a thoughtful and straightforward interface (desktop too). I jumped ship from Spotify almost a year ago and I have not missed it at all; as a surprise discovery junkie, this is so much better.
