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.
Bug in "Hourly Newscast"; non-responsive "help"
Am I the only one who has routinely been unable to fetch a refreshed "Hourly Newscast" for the past couple months? Regardless of the app version; regardless of a clean install - every couple days, the Hourly Newscast stays stuck on a stale 2-3 day old version. Am I missing something? I have periodically reached out to NPR Mobile "Help" for the past month, only to have my requests for help go unacknowledged.
Really? Really?
Guys - two months since the last ruinous update, and still the same issues. I at least don't see full screen ads that won't go away, but I still get my playlist stopped by my phone locking. This should not be a difficult thing to fix, especially since it wasn't a problem before the November update. This was the most frustrating problem with the last update, and it seems it was ignored. I love the app you guys, I just need you to get it to work again! Thanks!
