NPR Hourly News is a simple app that plays the most recent NPR News Update automatically when opened. FEATURES Plays the most recent news summary Automatically plays ...
I can t believe I took so long to give up on this app and just start playing news on my podcasts app I used this app for at least a year and it frustrated me every morning When connection is too slow to support the podcast which happens FAR more often than when I use iPhone s built in Podcasts or any other app it doesn t simply stop to start up again when the connection catches up which makes sense and is the feature for almost any audio or video stream you d normally access Instead it either rolls automatically to the next source or stops completely and goes back to the beginning of the current source When that happens good luck trying to find the point 2 5 minutes into the source you were listening to The tiny slide that controls your progress in the source is completely insensitive to touch control either refusing to respond at all or jumping much much further than you d ever indicated The size of the slide controller alone is a very basic UI design fail for an app whose sole purpose is user convenience The lack of control over progress through each source means that you have to sit through commercials and if you didn t completely absorb what was just said there s no going back Meanwhile the Podcasts app has had a simple 15 second jump so that you can easily skip over commercials and have them repeat the last tiny bit There s no longer any way to get BBC s hourly news anywhere but the BBC iPlayer Radio app so you ll end up bouncing between apps anyway to get decent world news coverage They haven t updated in about half a year I feel like this app is gonna be abandoned go to seed very soon     Frustrating Just Use iPhone s Built in Podcasts App thesuperalice
It allows me to skip reading news online which is a big time waster for me                     Love it GraphXPro
The app crashes every single time on iOS 11 with an iPhone X It also hasn t been optimized but the crashing has been happening for months Update I contacted the developer who was very responsive The issue is a bug relating to a popover about custom sources he says and I expect a fix will be out soon I ve changed my review to 5 stars from 2                     Crashes every single time hessianmercenary
And I m OK with a few commercials every once in a while but the ads from indeed and trip recruiter have turned me away from this app Those type of repetitive and high pressure sales advertisement have a tendency to lower the professionalism of great news apps like this one             Annoying commercials Dmeteng
The ABC Hourly News feed has been replaced with another program that runs approximately 41 minutes Why isn t the ABC 5 minute top of the hour newscast running anymore This needs to be corrected asap A really good radio news app WHEN it s working properly     ABC RADIO NEWS PROBLEM TFD44
I like this app as it s easy to use and plays my favorite new shows consecutively I would definitely recommend this App to others who enjoy listening to the news                     Great App msgallin
I ve use this app daily for years Seeing how I now the nuances of this app I m posting a review in hopes they get their act together and bring us an update BUG scroll button on timeline is terrible One pixel width of grabbing room You ll see ANOTHER BUG Starts all the podcast over from the beginning even if the podcast doesn t have a new show         Used to be great Heir Director
I like this app a lot it is frustrating however that some broadcasts suddenly stop in mid sentence and jump to the next Occasionally some broadcasts just don t turn on                 Good app although broadcasts suddenly break off Stormy Sri Mathie
Quick note to developer Please add Apple Watch compatibility thx Hourly News is a dead simple way to hear current audio news reports from multiple sources without having to mess around with your iOS device Each stream just plays automatically in the sequence of your choice I chose NPR BBC and The Daily from NYTimes If I have time I listen longer to DW Marketplace Fox and RTHK It s always enlightening to hear the different perspectives back to back So thankful the developer updated this for iOS 11 because I ve been using this app for half a decade and haven t found anything else like it                     The absolute best audio news app Adam Alf
While it has occasionally experienced some glitches the developer has done a good job to update and maintain the app I don t need custom sources but will probably buy the feature just to support the developer                 Very Handy DSuhr
A convenient way to start the day with your preference of news sources My only criticism Updates slow in coming My version started slipping from one podcast to another before each was complete while my Iphone warned that the app version needed to be updated Eventually the app must have been updated because it stopped skipping through the podcasts                 Handy News Digest Chilling-Blue-Boy
8 10             conection not smoth content great Isreimers
I depend on this app daily to keep informed about the latest breaking news It s an excellent app to start your day off and receive a quick glimpse of the world                     Excellent news app TbSwartz
I listen each morning during my workout Disappointed that BBC seems to have discontinued providing a segment Would be valuable if more news services were available                 Very useful Ivl9
Great to use when doing lengthy tasks around the house One newscast folds into another with cast order rearrangeable The app does need a way of replaying the last 10 seconds and a way of moving the newscast ahead by dragging the playhead Also the list of radio sources is skimpy A much larger list should be available with the paid custom source option                 Hands Free Listening to Multiple Newscasts EdTake2
A must in my morning walk I love it I can hear different news outlets and get different points of view All in one app                     Hourly news waldamaria
I stumbled upon and listen to it every morning It s short and sweet                     Great D-Rib
Convenient source of audio news updates from multiple sources                     Hourly News NPRNewsListener
This is exactly what I want and need with regards to world news                     Perfect GrrliinaK
I ve enjoyed for several years now having a convenient way to audibly scan a cross section of breaking news Helps me avoid the single world view trap I m so glad they ve updated it to keep it current with Apple s iOS changes                     My go to hourly news app markusbender
This has to be one of my favorite apps for news I got sick and tired of listening to news radio and hearing the endless advertisements Even though some of the stations have minimal advertising it is so refreshing to be able to spend my time listening to what I want to listen to AND THATS THE NEWS I recommend this app Keep improving and adding another one or two sports stations                 Hourly News one of my favorite apps
Im a news hound and I love this app                 Best
Does what its supposed to and I like customizing the news sources Love catching up on news wherever I am                 Great app
But RTHK News IS TOO LOUD Please normalize the volume across all channels Otherwise app works reliably and transmits as clear as a bell Just wish that theyd add more local stations                 Hourly News is Awesome
Great app I use this daily                 Simple and easy
Id rate this app 6 stars but for one thing Vibration or bounces causes this app to stop or skip a source track I dont know if its an issue between the IOS shake to function or what but the net effect is to render the app useless unless its sitting on a desk or held in the hand Bumps in the car even walking with the app running on my iPhone in my pocket is enough to cause this behavior PLEASE FIX THIS              Great But
Plays several sources of news updates Very simple to use                 Excellent
Listen to a wide variety of news sources for short summaries of the days news You choose which ones to play as well as the order they play Great for news junkies It always works well                 Excellent
Like the app in every way except that it keeps hijacking my Bluetooth and my radio I cant have it docked and listen to the radio because the news keeps turning itself on Its the same with my Bluetooth sound bar at my house Wanna listen to music on my phone through the sound bar Nope app wont quit turning off music and turning itself on Gonna have to uninstall        Hijacker App
Just downgraded from a 64gb to a 16gbthis was one of the first apps I installed Love it                 Better than NPR app
The Hourly News app provides an instant update to what is going on in the world There are enough specialty apps with sports news My Hourly News playlist is geared to broadcasters who focus on business and political issues I like the simplicity of setting up a playlist Connectivity has improved with recent updates                 In the Know
Its perfect for news junkies who keep with headlines as they progress through the day and some sites that focus on one or a few big stories from that day I used to frequent NPRs app for their 5minute hourly newscast until I found this Wish they would change one thing though the order that the programs play should be changeable Thatd be great Thanks to the programmers                 Love this app
This app I use NPR BBC ABC is perfect if youre looking for a general overview of whats going on If you dont want old news the set yours up to only play current news for that day otherwise youll get news for the days you missed                 Great overview
Best news service that I ever found Covers the world in 10 minutes Ingenious                 Genius App
ABC BBC VOA Those are the ones I have set up here For the AP I use Stitcher due to expensive licensing restrictions in this app I use Stitcher for CBS with the weekly roundup ads speed factors Hourly News is good for quick updates during the week                 Streamlines listening to multiple sources
I was not happy when Apple bought and turned off my previous favorite newstalk podcast app Other podcast apps make you wade thru endless fluff to get to the news Then I discovered this app Simple interface and best of all TONS of great news podcasts updated every hour This is my new favorite go to app for news whenever I want it in the car on the train at the gym Very convenient and the app just WORKS Great app I highly recommend to news junkies everywhere                 Terrific news app
This app works great Very practical design has a lot of good sources of 5minute hourly news reports Well updated I use it daily I also bought the inapp purchase for personal sources and I didnt find any other hourly news that wasnt already in the app and for longer podcasts subscriptions I prefer a different podcast app                 Great idea and very useful
This app is a terrific source for getting news summaries from a variety of sources My sole criticism is that the volume is all over the place There are wild swings from soft to loud between different news sources as well as during a single news source If this gets fixed the app will get 5 stars from me              Great but one big annoyance
Quick and convenient way of checking a variety of news sources I use it often                 Really handy app
Not sure why but the app crashed fairly frequently on iPhone 6 with latest iOS Most annoyingly dont understand why the app cant download enough content to play when not connected to the airwaves        Frequent Crashes no downloading
So simple yet so simply perfect Great app for background news Great way to stay on top of the news WITHOUT that your caps surfing the net                 Hourly News
I travel extensively around the Americas and while traveling I used to listen to NPR and BBC newsbrief via web which necessitate connecting your laptop jumping back and forth between NPRBBC website This makes it a lot simpler just launch the app and it runs both newsbrief subsequently While driving around I check it again to keeps abreast with USworldwide events Price well worth its benefits and comfort Kudos                 Love the app simple versatile and a must for travelers
There is one feed that never loads I always forget which one I love feed options without excess baggage              Like it
Excellent                 Excellent app Priceless tool for time constrained individual
This app does a very nice job of playing the news and doing what it says it will do I actually very much like this app and really enjoy the ability to listen to news on demand However this app so aggressively hijacks my Bluetooth connection to my car radio that it destroys any hope of productivity Anytime that I try to use Siri or end a phone call or just simply start my car this app turns itself on and begins playing through my car speakers I can even close the app and remove it from the background application and restart my phone and the app will launch itself from cold and begin playing It is one of the most frustrating connectivity issues that I have experience on the iPhone        I had to delete it from my phone
This app only wants you spend money on purchase it and pay for any subscription It doesnt work after I paid it Have to delete it Garbage     spend a lot of money with nothing
Updated April 15 Wish there were a SIXTH star to give For news junkies especially when driving this dead simple instant on multiple news source streaming audio is the height of perfection Bluetooth to auto works fine custom source adding is dead simple too One big button for on or off Instant stream Cant rave enough Example of perfection in an app                 Minimalist PERFECTION
Seems to work okay Better than the MacOS X version which I had to delete              Works well
Excellent                 Excellent
I dont like that it had a pop up asking me to review the app     Nice app but annoying pop up
This is a quality app for hourly news but it lacks in free sources You will have to purchase other news sources in app sources you could access for fee elsewhere              Great but more free sources needed
Nice sometimes a little crashy but for the most part stable simple and easy to use Wish there was a search function              Simple and easy
News at your fingertips 247365                 Great news anytime you want
Great app I use it every morning but would like to see more Foreign language news sources Some countries such as France and Germany also have English language news services Also would like this app to be available on my BB Passport                 Best nofrills news app
This is perfect for me lets you choose which news stations you want and in which order                 Just what I was looking for
Have my own top10 apps This tops my listconcisecurrent set it forget it Wish they had even more lists With millions of apps out thererefreshing to have found this gem                 My favorite app
Easy to click play and get great summaries of the news while on the go                 Great app
Each individual podcast or news source is 99 and there are better apps that are more expensive but come out cheaper And podcasts This app is stupid and a waste of a breath     Bull
Simple intuitive not a lot of bugs and you can listen while you navigate other apps                 I love it
No more fumbling to bring up news sites on my netbook No more grinding waits while each news site loads its special flaky media player Just tap the big triangle and all my newscasts stream one after another It gets me through the dishes twice a day                 This thing is great
Does exactly what you expect                 Does news well
Does exactly what it promises gives you instant access to a wide array of credible global news services so you never have to wait to stay in touch Updates constantly so youre always on top of the news Sleek simple design thats attractive and userfriendly                 Musthave app
Nice little snap shot of news from around the world                 Great little App
We live in China Hourly News is our tie to the US                 Hourly news is a life saver
Stumbled across this App Read the reviews Bought it Love it Use it multiple times a day Highly recommend it                 Addictive
Was loving this app but the BBC clip just plays over and over again NPR updates hourly but the same clip from BBC plays directly following Should be a basic app yet they cant even get that right Also was swindled in to buying another feed thinking I could just browse and select another news feed nope you have to enter the Streaming URL etc which I have no way of finding Just download free BBC app its better     Plays same BBC clip from aug 10 over and over
Timely substantive pithy informative thank you                 Outstanding
But i wish there more news feed options good enough for now              Good app
I love this app I have used this at least once a day for the past year and a half Must have for a news junkie           Needs to be able to start up from same place after pausing
Very easy way to just listen To latest news No hands Voice needed Use it and be safe                 Super app
