Brilliant App!
Asymptotic42
I’ve been hearing NOA news clips on my Google Home for months and finally decided to try the app today. It’s a brilliant premise: this app gives easy audio access to tons of top journals like the New York Times, Bloomberg, Independent, The Wall Street Journal, etc. If you’ve ever wanted more than the 30-second version of a story (or endless commentary on television), this app is perfect in that articles are sorted by topic, so you get to hear several perspectives on top-story issues such as China devaluing its currency. Where the app lacks at times is in the delivery. The vast majority of the readers’ voices are quite pleasant, but on multiple occasions I’ve heard gross mispronunciations of words (i.e. acquiescence, respite) and names (i.e. Epstein) as though the readers didn’t take the time to learn the words they were saying. I’m still on my free trial but am strongly considering switching to premium if for no other reason than to keep an amazing service like this around!

Another service that requires me to make an account to use it. Needs a Sign In with Apple button to make onboarding simpler.

Great app to learn about current affairs and business

Came across this app on a whim. It offers world class audio articles from top publishers like The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, The Washington Post, Business Insider, The Economist, The Financial Times, and loads more. Helps make my NY commute a bit easier. You can listen offline which is handy too. Well worth downloading and checking out. Very slick UI too.
Needs Dark Mode

Very much needs dark mode, it hurts my eyes, it’s not like anyone has a CRT smartphone. Just use dark backgrounds please. I love the speed adjustment. The number of premium articles is very sparse.
Excellent Audio Series and Narration

I highly recommend Noa and listen almost every day. They way they curate articles into short audio Series is something I have not seen done before and I love it! The narrators’ voices are easy to listen to and the range of news publishers is top class! If you like podcasts you’ll love Noa.
The best app I have seen for enjoying voice over articles
Gopi Gopalakrishnan
I have been using news over audio (noa) for sometime and loving it... the app has the best intuitive user interface for using the app when I am on the go. Noa has the best collection of articles for business, management, finance and technology. Thank you Noa Team ! Sincerely, Gopi Gopalakrishnan
GREAT IDEA, But Execution needs work

There is a lot of low hanging fruit that can be improved pretty quickly. This is the app/service have been waiting/looking for since 2015. I love that it exists, but they need to get their high speed playback a bit better at being intelligible at higher speeds. Seems like it’s also hard to have content you want from specific publishers organized automatically. App doesn’t respond well to the play/pause button on my headphones (plays, but won’t pause). It seems hard to resume an article where you left off. I think there’s a way to do it, but it’s not as straightforward as it ought to be. I worry some of the organizational issues are by design, as a way of trying to foster certain behavior from users. I hope this is not the case. Maybe there is a different explanation, but as of now it seems like this app was not designed super users like me, ie, the people most likely to use and pay for it.
Excellent, but not yet perfect

The “long-form journalism to audio” space is becoming increasingly crowded, and for good reason: it’s a service that many of us didn’t realize we wanted until we tried it! And now, after having spent a while comparing the three major competitors in the space that I could find—Noa, Curio, and Audm—I can say that Noa’s offering is the best of the bunch. Their customer service is incredibly responsive, too. It’s not a perfect app or service, as there are still several bugs and issues for them to work out, but overall, Noa is definitely one of my favorite finds of the past year or so.
