Share stories needs to improve
Xukrutz

NPR journalists repeatedly ask listeners to share the story, but most stories cannot be shared. Please try to fix this, you have such a great quality programs and interviews and it is a shame that we cannot help you spread the word with ease. The developer just mentioned that there is a button to share, yes there is one, but when you share and WhatsApp opens - a message appears saying that “this story cannot be shared”. Many of my friends would love to listen to them, so please take a look


One sided reporting
GNME251

I used to respect you but I now see that you don’t report the news fairly anymore. Deleted app.


Ok
MarcusTheMartin

It’s less annoying than NPR one when trying to listen to local news but the streams will mysteriously freeze or fail to load stories at all.


36-hour-lasting playlist???
zenaorion

Update: now, ads?? Two stars only for content. You lost four stars because the playlist disappears after 36 hours. App developers are telling me how much time I have on my hands to listen to stories that matter to me. This ruins the app for me.


Beware, crash ahead!
Reviewer THX1138

This version doesn’t share well (crashes when I push that control). Please fix!


Not working for us
McMinnville listener1

This app is unreliable. I down load it nearly every day just to access the news. Otherwise, it just daisywheels and doesn’t work. This is happening on three different Apple devices. Our router is in the next room.


No dark mode?
Archey2

Why are you trying to blind me?


Inaccessible on demand programs
dsleaf

On demand Programs under the fold, such as fresh air can’t be reached- the “more” link seems dead. I wish the quality of the app matched the programming quality.


NPR account login
das rhetorician

Could we create/sign into our NPR accounts? couldn't you guys just combine this and NPR One all into one single app? they're both kind of the same in concept... except this one works a lot better than NPR ONE, NPR ONE has always been and is very, very broken unfortunately


Ads cause story skip
Darth Snuggles

When hitting “Listen to All Stories” for Morning Edition, once an ad is played (for the One app or a specific podcast), the app skips the next story in line. There’s usually only one ad, but skipping the next story seems like a fixable bug. However, this bug has been around for years.
