NPR for iPad: Experience NPR in magazine style with a focus on News, Arts & Life, and Music content that s broad, deep, and timely. It s NPR like you ve never ...
but I would certainly like to utilize the app in landscape mode so that I don t have to bend my head around 90 degrees to use my iPad when I use my attached keyboard which is always Almost none of my multitude of iPad apps have this same issue I will modify my review to 5 stars if you could just fix this             I Love NPR Runningspartan
This app is a good idea but needs some work There is a volume problem which manifests too loud and too soft volume when the app transitions between the opening to the actual broadcast national and then to the local broadcast I am constantly running to the radio to change the volume When it jumps to loud it is really loud Then when it switches to local I have to turn the volume up I have been giving feedback about this to NPR since the beginning Nothing has changed Otherwise it is great to be able to change to the top of the hour news         NPR app on my iphone Deesieque
The play list stalls at the end of a story when the screen is locked Also no controls on the lock screen Great app if not on iOS 11             iOS 11 broke it Tim in AZ
NPR is one of the best sources for news The app has no bells and whistles but the content is great                     Gold standard for news Devin.Torres
Using share to forward article on iPad has a bug You can write and address the e mail correctly but there is no SEND button So your message just sits there with nowhere to go                 Share bug report ChazCaban01
I love the app and would rate it more if I could listen to an NPR radio station on my iPad I deleted and reinstalled the app several times but nothing changed even after filing a complaint Other than that I enjoy listening to my favorite NPR radio stations on my iPhone 6 and have done so for years My other issue is that I can not access links that are mentioned in articles that I read on the app I trust that the internet links appear in the same articles on the npr org website but are removed from the app articles which typically only include 1 picture and the rest text         Radio Stations won t play on iPad KaraKae
The interface for the iPad version of the app is horrible I just want to install the normal npr app on my iPad as the interface for the iPhone version is great Right now on my iPad I just go to npr org in Horne for a much better experience     iPad version is terrible jontjioe
Love NPRs content but disappointed in the app It s laid out very poorly for browsing you can t see more than a couple of headlines at a time without scrolling through banners or flipping through stories one at a time Also the adjustable fonts aren t nearly adjustable enough for my aging eyes and you can t zoom or wrap text It would be really great if one of our best news services had a more accessible app             Great content poor presentation Author Author
The NPR News APP is my 1 source for news I start my day off with NPR News and in the mornings I listen to member stations from all over the country I proudly support my member station and the app also help in keeping me up to date on local stories from local member stations where family are The app has a few streaming issues with the stations that I hope will be addressed in the next update One minor issue though I don t see away to update the app from the App Store When you search for it the store only has version 2 5 3 there                     Love The App Wrbellsugar
When trying to share an NR story from my iPad the tweet button doesn t actually show up There s s no way to actually get the tweet story to be posted The tweet button doesn t show up until you ve added enough spaces to pass the 140 character limit In other words you can t share to Twitter     Updated for new iOS Turrean
This is an app with many options for selecting and listening to whole programs or parts of programs Click on the piece and get a bit more info about it                     Easily sort select what you want to hear outoftheballpark
UPDATE This app continues to display the same bad behavior noted below I have used this app for years to read NPR news stories but most importantly to listen to my local station s news feed and live programming Sadly it has become unusable over the past 6 months or so The live stream will play for about 10 minutes or so then it stops Must restart feed Stops Repeat There is some variability but this occurs on multiple stations feeds I am using current iOS and iPad Pro and yes I ve uninstalled installed the app Too bad because I have been a contributor for years and consider NPR to be my core news source         Once rock solid now unusable jos3_1999
I cannot understand the low rating this app has You can easily listen to your local station find individual programs and listen to news the way you want to Simply great                     Amazing Mr. Bobbin
I listen to NPR on this app regularly It works well I would like to see a sleep feature like on the podcast apps                 Sleep feature Atlantic fan
Liked it a lot Now it no longer updates unless closed first and then reopened Looks like no update since 2016 Gonna miss it         Nice when it worked msfarm
Listening to my local NPR station is a joy except when using the app The interruptions for station promos are constant and interrupt the listening experience Instead I stream from the website in Safari NPR this problem has been going on for a year It s time you fixed it         When will they fix the interruptions DavidK.
Goodness gracious Who designed this app The news headlines are all cut off in the current format which appears to be tiles instead of a list Incomplete news headlines are not conducive to figuring out which articles I want to read further Seems like the most basic functionality of a news app was overlooked Please consider offering news in a LIST format with the entire headline visible Off to go uninstall this thing     News headlines are cut off Impossible to browse CreatureFeature2
I use the NPR News app on my iPad mostly to listen to my local NPR station or the top of hour news I read the articles too once in a while and usually when I m listening to the station in the background There is no way to refresh the news items stories on the screen If it has not done its automatic refresh clicking on an item can bring up a different story that has now replaced the story you clicked on in its current position The links to the articles don t seem to work directly from the app Other than that I think it s a great app to get the summary of the stories on NPR or to listen to your local NPR station                 App needs some work Gigoole
Great for listening to hourly news updates horrible at everything else Don t expect the top stories to be from the day you re viewing the headlines and don t expect those headlines to link to the stories they claim to represent Do expect those hourly news headlines to play when you close the app without having bid them play Also do expect a heavier emphasis on hip hop and hip ster music and cultural coverage than broadcast NPR by about 2000 percent Let s put it this way if stories about a Punky Brewster themed hotel and a new Vampire Weekend tribute album were slated to run on the day that Trump launched a preemptive nuclear attack on Pyongyang you won t have to Worry about the North Korea story ruining your day for a while     Simultaneously worthless and indispensable ReverendMax
Click on an article and it opens a different article Bizarre the app seems confused         Not working very well Wooderson603
Searching for KCLU crashes constantly Youre pushing me to Fox News NPR Ok not really but come on Fix this     Crashes constantly
This app crashes on my iPad more than it operates correctly     Crashes all the time Pls fix this app
I have used this app for a while now it crashes and when reinstalled twice wont work at all What happened     Crashing
Using the app on an IOS8 iPad None of the links in the news stories work Stories often crash when I try to access them Very frustrating Please fix        Please fix links
I dont like the iPad version at all At this point I would rather read the news on a tiny iPhone version screen than navigate through the mess on a full sized iPad because the iPhone version is easier to use Navigating articles is clunky on the iPad version I dont understand why I can only see the news arts life and music on the home screen and that I have to navigate through a hard to use menu to see anything else besides these topics I dont care about arts or music content The iPhone version allows for scanning news briefs in any and all topics before committing to reading the full news article The iPad version however requires you to preview full articles one at a time rather than offering a list of articles Also the only settings Links that works are the ones that have you download other apps The support links are all nonfunctional     iPad version bad iPhone version good
Crashes constantly on iPad Even the link to rate it linked to an endless loop This thing hasnt worked properly since the last iOS update The single star is for the great content If only I could read it     Terrible app
I love NPR but I dont use the app much because it constantly crashes And the contact link doesnt work either so they apparently dont want to hear about it     Constantly crashes
The app crashes and shuts down most of the time when I go to read a story     Keeps crashing
This app runs well for a half hour and then routinely overruns its buffers and drops out Too bad because its really pretty good otherwise Back to TuneIn Radio I guess        Good for a full half hour
I love NPR but I find the app virtually useless It crashes almost every time I try to use it Then on the very rare occasions I do get it to open the content is not easy to navigate and just a repeat of the stories that they broadcast on the radio     Crashes
The app works but then wont load certain articles and shuts down Been a problem for a while Reloaded app with no effect Must be net neutrality at work not        Glitchy
It hasnt been updated in a long time and it shows Links in news stories do not open the target URL including the link to open the story on the website instead of the app Often trying to open some of the stories causes the app to crash The app doesnt switch to landscape when rotating the iPad I like NPR content a lot but this is a sorry excuse for an app If I were responsible for content distribution at NPR Id be totally embarrassed     IPad version is terrible and buggy
Really want to like this app but crashes far too often to be enjoyable     Wish they could keep this from crashing on iPad
This app is nonfunctioning It crashes and then it cannot be restored     Crashes consistently
This app crashes 100 of the time When will it get fixed I have better luck streaming through TunedIn Radio It has great features too bad I you cant get to use them This has been a LONG TERM issue How about someone create a work order to finally fix it Geez     Great content unaccessible
I can never open it anymore on my iPad Mini It starts to load the home screen and then blam Crashes Its been doing this for several weeks at least for me     Keeps crashing
Defaults to whatever volume was set for any previously used app If theres aneasy way to change this annoying quirk i not found it Also on occasion the buttons freeze requiring a restart of my iPad2           Inconsistent no volume control
Thats what it does     Crashes
The previous version would crash when I loaded some articles Even reinstalling did not fix this and it would be the same articles that caused the problem Well the latest version upgraded that to just being some articles crashing the app but not always the same ones Not satisfied with that apparently the programmers decided that the font size tab really didnt need to have any items in it After all who needs larger text I guess the iPhone version was just too simple and elegant to use as a model for the iPad Unlike one other reviewer the 84 IOS upgrade made no improvement and some other actions can also crash it     Still broken
It appears the app was not adequately tested prior to release On my iPad mini you dont even get to change font size Yes there is the change font size button which opens a blank window        Was it tested before release
This is a great source for news and the crashing bug has been resolved                 It is fixed
This problem seems to be exacerbated by trying to download stories for offline reading If I dont do that it crashes less frequently but it still happens The content from NPR is so phenomenal it is a real shame that this app makes it so difficult to engage     Constant Crashing
NPR News works flawlessly on my iPad 3 It is so refreshing to read andor listen to the news without commercials popups or advertisements If you are able please support NPR News for this great application                 Works Perfectly Ad Free Text and Audio News Fantastic
Yet again NPR is broadcasting an hourly newscast that at least a year old Hamid Karzai take on American troops Really This seems to be the default news on NPR and when it happens seemingly every few months it goes on for several days without being noticed by those who run the show old hourly news for days on end Doesnt anyone at the organization listen to their own broadcasts     Back to the future
Its nice when it works but it isnt unusual for it to drop my live radio stream 34 times a day It usually takes around 30 minutes to get it back and by then Ive missed what I was interested in hearing Restarting the app or the device doesnt fix it        Its alrightbut can be frustrating
Im a huge NPR fan but this app is terrible The layout makes reading the news needlessly difficult and the streaming function correctly works less than half the time Needs a complete overhaul Until then use the mobile site in Safari        Very subpar app
Whenever I clicked on a story the app would crash So I deleted it and reloaded it Now none of the stories appear Disappointed that NPR would create such a poor product        Kept Crashing
Ive had this app for a long time now coupled with a lovehate relationship When it works right it is great easy to navigate aesthetically pleasing and great presentation Unfortunately there is a problem that they dont seem capable of fixing When moving from one story to another it kicks you out of the app Some stories can be seen in the panel view but when you try to select them to read snap you are kicked out of the app I cant recommend this app until they stabilize this problem They also dont have a mechanism to offer feedback to get the problem corrected        Frustrating Great sometimes
Please repair this iPad app so that my local stations are included again They suddenly disappeared Aarrggghh     Local station streams no longer included on iPad app
I like to use this to get npr headlines that arent part of newscasts and many times the app freezes so I cant advance the screen           Ok but freezes up a lot
First of all some of those who are complaining might want to consider pledging more or anything before writing such scathing reviews for an app supported by public radio I use this app nearly every day during work while cooking while working out and I cant find one thing wrong with it HOWEVER I do think it would be great if somehow you could skip through pledge drives if you pledge through the app                 Awesome Stop complaining
FYII am experiencing same problem as ktkl enter zip for station nada I enjoy NPR however it is obvious you have a problem w this version 4 stars for NPR 1 star for current version     Crash
This could be so good It isnt It is nice to be able to listen to the hourly updated news report But why oh why could it possibly be SO HARD to make clicking on the links that say click me here ACTUALLY WORK     Aighhhh
I found the app to work fine Normally I would not give a review but I found the number of negative reviews strange Give the app a chance and be open to a different layout than say the other big news apps out there Besides that familiar sound and feel of NPR comes through and I think thats the most important part              Seems fine to me
Decided this morning I wanted NPR for background while working Told it to find the local station crash Typed my city selected it from the list crash Deleted and redownloaded tried again crash     Crash crash crash
Ever since the last update crashes upon opening Its trying too hard to be slick and as a result is nowhere near as easy to navigate as the iphone app Sigh        Keeps crashing
Why no update for this nowbuggy app My favorite part was being able to find and listen to stations from around the country Not now just CRASH with that option Plenty of other issues at one point hundreds of stories appeared on my playlist virtually everything Id ever had there Spooky this means theyve stored my deleted playlist entries and dont have control over that information What will I say when the pledge drive comes     Update this app
Love this app but completely unusable now due to constantconsistent crashing     Crashes
NPR frequently crashes a couple of times before loading        Crashes
My complaint is about the Program page in the app Its far to easy to accidentally hit another story when scrolling through the many choices Also where is the Pulse           Poor Design
I too found the app to be all boos and no news before I updated IOS to 84 After the update its back to ALL THE STARS again                 Crashing stops after IOS update to 84
No updates for nearly a year despite the numerous issues users have reported especially with iOS 8 What gives NPR     Abandoned
I dont need to be notified that some team won some championship or some persons was convicted of a crime when everyone knew he was going to be convicted Please let us filter alerts by categories and alert severity Yes I want to be alerted if a terrorist bomb goes off in the US But not that someone won the World Series I already knew that was going to happen and if I care Im probably watching the game        Alerts for expected news
App works well enough but lacks a focal point when you first open it Its a mere ToC with pics        Lacking focal point
It is perplexing to me that such a stellar news organization would allow itself to be represented with such a poorly designed app I will click on the links in an article but they do not work I deleted and reinstalled but they still do not work     Perplexed
Running 83 and this app has never crashed on me It works just fine I do like the iPhone version slightly more but I use this daily to listen to my local station as well as to listen to shows like On the Media and Only a Game              Very good app
IOS updated to 84 and still nothing but concrete barriers     Crashes like a 3 wheeled Fiat on the Mass pike
Crashing when loading simple things like station finder and top level articles Impossible to use until bugs are fixed     Crashing often
I recently downloaded both NPR NEWS and MUSIC app Its the news apps that I have a problem with I dont get to listen to my local station Every time I press play it tells me to either renew my membership or call a toll fee number I hope this gets resolved or I hear back from you guys soon be well     local live streamingnothing
App seems good but stories are sometimes too political and try to sway people NPR is publicly funded and should not play politics to help either party        Too tied to politics
