Customer Reviews
I will give monthly to NPR for ads-free listening.
This app is great! I love it and use it for driving, sitting around the house, and other environments where I need a quick infuse of NPR. It’s great that it’s careful to never repeat a story and I like that a lot.
I think you would see an uptick in memberships to local NPR affiliates if by doing so the user could suspend or skip all ads. I can tell you that personally I would schedule a monthly donation to NPR in a heartbeat if it meant I could use this app ads-free.
I'm probably not the first to think of this. And I realize this would require a bit of work on the backend. You'd have to set up a central login system to be used and verified by each affiliate. Or something. But let me tell you. There is little more I want in life than to listen to this app ads-free. I don't currently donate to NPR but I would in a heartbeat if you implemented this feature. And I'm sure I'm not alone.
Love NPR....but
I wanted to love this app, because I love NPR and podcasts in general but man o man this app has frustrated me more than any other app. I was forced into use because majority of shows I liked moved from the NPR app to NPR one. But it rarely works. It crashes constantly. In fact I've never made it through a podcast without at least one crash. Additionally about half time when I boot up the app it doesn't show any of the shows I'm following and when I try and search for them it just never loads. I also feel that the interface is not very intuitive or user friendly. I think it's trying to hard to be a cool app, there was nothing wrong with the old simplistic version of the original NPR app. I like that so much better.( Also I'm using a iPhone 6S with all its updates so I don't think the issues are because I have an older phone or anything) anyways it would great if NPRone could get it together because I really miss listening to the podcasts from NPR that I love !
Nice idea... terrible execution
The positives:
I love the "in case you missed it" link. Very helpful for those of us that have full time jobs who cannot listen during the day. Same for "the Trump Era". Handpicked podcasts. Great idea.
The Featured Shows section is wonderful! Found several new shows I wouldn't have known about and thrilled to see "Think" from KERA on that list. Now the entire NPR community can see what a treasure Krys Boyd is!
The Negatives (and it's a long list):
Why no playlist w the ability to edit, rearrange, etc? This is one of my favorite aspects of the NPR app. Put all of them on the list, hit play, keep right on doing whatever I'm doing for a long period of time. Why would you drop this?
Why would all of the NPR shows not be included on NPR One? What's that about? I've got to flip back and forth btw two apps to get all the content I want. Silly.
Hard to find the shows I know I want. Search is woefully inadequate and not sure why. Can't figure out how to get to things?
Topics from the original app was great. Nothing similar on the new app. Why?
I am a loyal podcast listener w NPR. Even I gave up on it for a while. Y'all need to revamp the whole thing keeping only the best parts. But, then again, why not just add the good stuff from NPR One to the original?
