Was able to search for a station, but unable to open an account (502 Bad Gateway).
There is no compression for the podcasts, so it will eat through your data.
Reliable and timely news every hour every day. Has a wide selection of podcast too that can be listened to any time
What a terrible app. You can be listening to one broadcast, and it arbitrarily switches you to some other podcast. There is no option to play a full show straight through of morning edition or All things considered.
Playback problems that have existed for 5 years persist with this app. Most recently, the app continued playing in my pocket (on mute) after disconnecting from my car. This happens sometimes. It will just play and play until you notice it's burning through your battery and data. Open the app and it pauses. Since NPR is publicly funded for the public good, why is the app not open source? Let people see your code so they can fix the random bugginess that NPR hasn't been able to fix for 5+ years.
Added third party advertisements that change the dynamic of NPR. I will be using other services to listen to my podcasts.
NPR One is great on my phone, not so great on my laptop. On my phone I can access lots of archived stories and podcasts. I can also listen to my local station in real time. On my laptop, I am limited to the feed provided to me. I have no choice and can't even listen to my local station.
a good news-app
Local station stream CONSTANTLY breaks. You have to reselect it in the "set local station" page for it to even work. I'd like to keep this app, but if it can't even consistently let me near my local station I'm better off using the Tune In radio app.
This NPR One app is only OK because there is no default play option available in the settings menu. All I really want to do is listen to my Home Station BY DEFAULT when I start this app. Users should determine whether the Home Station autoplays on startup rather than NPR-curated content. Give us a choice instead of acting like NPR knows best what stories we *should* be listening to. I want to hear my Home Station by default.
