Needs a huge fix
Although the listener to news can choose the news items she wants to listen to, the stream doesn’t stream. Very very annoying. I have tried deleting the app, and then reloading, but it simply doesn’t work. In addition, some days the program doesn’t update for a day. So the Weekend Edition Sunday doesn’t appear until Monday. This app should work better.
United StatesIs someone asleep at the switch??
Whoever is responsible for uploading the Weekend Sunday is probably asleep at the switch on Sun Jun 13 because the broadcast has yet to be uploaded as of 12:53pm PDT !! Also, on some days during the week, not all of the ATC segments are uploaded until much later in the day. What gives? Not all of us have the luxury of listening to the broadcast during the regular broadcast hours of our local NPR stations so we depend on the NPR app site to listen to the day’s broadcast. Please upload consistently and reliably !!! Merci.
United StatesGreat, when it opens.
Love the app content—thoughtful, informative and (best!) not hysterical—a godsend over the past 4+ years. My issue is the need to delete/reopen the app 2 out of 5 times I use it. I can live with that, but it makes me whine.
United StatesStill has some bugs
Often when selecting an article to read, the app pulls up the incorrect srticle.
United StatesBroken after ios 14.5
App opens, clicking on initial article works, after that it crashes.
United StatesNot timely
The app continues to struggle with updating the stories from All Things Considered. As a news show it is useless if the reporting is 24 hours out of date.
United StatesAn app masquerading as a dumpster fire 🙄
Why is there no search feature? The playlist is so different than the app on the phone. No program references (WE, FA, ATC, who knows?) No date. No running time / length. Go to play and 50% of the time it stops after one story. Try to select and play a program in playlist - it won’t play. Close the app a couple of times and it might work again . . or not. Today Morning Edition was nowhere to be found. But there were 2 days worth of ATC. Geez! I could go on and on but you get the idea. Good luck fellow NPR listeners. Good luck to NPR trying to clean up this dumpster fire.
