    Count me in the camp of people who preferred the simplicity of the old app. It wasn't flashy, but it was easy to use and gave me exactly what I needed. It also loaded better in lower-signal areas. This new app has made it more difficult to find and access news stories, cluttered up the interface, and is constantly pushing podcasts or other NPR content. Didn't NPR just cut its budget? Why did they spend some of what was left on "fixing" something that wasn't broken?

    On my previous phone I would check this app multiple times a day and I loved the easy layout. Now I can't stand it and they allow adds formatted to look like news articles in the headlines list and I'm over it. They also list headlines that redirect you to third party news sites- totally defeats your brand. Two stars because your new cruddy app inspired me to dig out my radio and I've enjoyed listening to the radio channel.

    The initial years were poor. The last 5-8 years were excellent, but now they have destroyed it. It used to be simple and intuitive. Now look is gaudy and confusing - looks like just a bunch of ads, even though they are articles. Took me 10 minutes to find the programs. Takes 3 clicks instead of 1 swipe to select or deselect stories to stream. Have to go back and forth from picking to see list, when used to be able to click on the bottom. Stories are no longer labeled by category. Hate it!

    Was pretty good. But now it stops playing in the middle of a segment. The play/pause button doesn't change. Doesn't work in Android Auto anymore.

    It pains me to write this, but the recent app update has really ruined my NPR experience. Gone are the majority of the long-form articles I could discretely read. It's much harder to read anything because you have to go down the topic list and check each one out. No more swiping between articles. And there are now unrelated ads in the middle of articles. I didn't want NPR One, which is what this app has become, for a reason. How frustrating.

    This app regularly just stops working at random times when listening to a station. Do others have this problem? When I check the app when it goes silent, there is no station and channel selected as if I have never selected one. Appears to have a major bug. You are listening to NPR on the app when you get a phone call. If you answer the call, the volume of NPR goes up rather than going silent like you would expect. You have to find the app and stop it before you answer the call. Is this a bug that other people get? I just find it hard to believe that they would release software with such a major problem. Basically, this app is just junk.
