Customer Reviews
NEW APP THAT FIXES THE NPR BUG AVAILABLE NOW
It is called "NPR Hourly News" and it's free. You don't have to put up with this app being broken anymore.
Please mark this review as "Helpful" so others will see it.
Excellent interface, efficient. No search function.
Title really says it all. I am a 19 year old male college student and I rely on NPR to preserve my sanity while working or driving amongst idiotic speed freaks in my poor 92 Honda Accord that Car Talk gives pep talks to every Sunday afternoon.
Since my iPhone's NPR app has become unusable due to immediate crashing upon playlist selection, I have been listening to NPR on my iPad or on the old-fashioned radio! Sadly, Zi cannot stay in my car forever... Nor would anybody want to. Now, please, developers...
We need a search function. When I leave my car and get settled in somewhere I don't necessarily always want to stream it live from the app. However, I would like to find the program for later listening. This app does not have a search function like the iPhone app does. It needs one. As I love NOR, it will always remain on my devices but it will break my heart if I cannot find the programs I want to hear without searching through every single article, which is time I don't have, nor patience.
Please... I love you NPR... I am not ready to "take a break" with you. I want our relationship to continue and blossom. Flourish. Not rise and fall like high school romances. Don't you love me NOR? Don't you love US? Please, dear. I worry that you think I won't care what you have been talking about when I am busy BUT I DO. I am just a man and cannot find things so specific and dear to me. Please NPR, I need you. I need US.
Attractive and Interesting
The app presents very entertaining and appealing content. I would highly recommend this app to a friend or colleague.
