The NPR app is the best way to listen to stories, shows, and podcasts from NPR and your local public radio station. It’s public radio made personal. *A handcrafted experience + your personal radio station* NPR starts with the latest headlines then moves to a flow of stories that matter - narratives that increase your understanding, create connections, enrich your life and enliven your mind. All thoughtfully curated by hand, every day. Just tap on the big play button in the Home screen, and NPR One gets to know you. Skip what you don't want, or mark a story as interesting. Though your mix is personalized to deliver the stories you want, you’ll still hear the top news of the day and the stories you had no idea would captivate you. *Connected locally* Even with the breadth of public radio at your fingertips, you won’t lose touch at home. Local news and podcast episodes are woven seamlessly into your listening experience. Local stories, locally reported, are delivered daily. Community is everything. *Listen everywhere* Love to listen on the go? Get the most out of NPR with CarPlay and Apple Watch. Skip, pause, and search at a glance without even touching your phone. *Features* * A personalized mix of stories from NPR and local station * Stream your local radio station from wherever you are * Easy access to the full catalog of NPR and local station shows and podcasts Data Protection Choices At NPR, we understand how important privacy is to you, and we are committed to transparency about how we collect, use and share your information.

where can I listen to radio station
This redesigned app is the worst. I want to listen to live stream of radio stations but couldn’t find where it’s. If I want to listen podcast I will use Apple Podcasts not NPR
NPR content is awesome, app make it inaccessible
The previous app had significant usability issues, no doubt, but it was nonetheless a viable conduit for all the amazing and important content NPR delivers. This update to the app breaks that access, in many ways. I am a UX professional, so here’s an example to support my statement: Listening to hourly local and national news updates (core functionality of the app) used to be a 2 click task; now local news access is nearly impossible and national news access is hidden at least 7 clicks in (and out). There are many other such use case issues. NPR used to make me feel like I was an informed citizen partner, seeking insight - I miss that. The release (required update) of this app (the design philosophy behind the redesign) makes me feel like NPR now thinks of me like I’m another customer, while at the same time ruined ease of access to basic content. This frustrates me to no end; it breaks my heart. Unfettered access to reliable information is becoming more and ever more important in our current circumstances; please fix this app and restore that connection. Sincerely.
Even More Ads?
Content to advertising ratio is outrageous.
Volume levels
Please do a better job leveling the volume between national and local news segments. While listening to NPR One I'm not always able to keep adjusting the phone volume to prevent news stories from being too loud or soft.
Please stop auto playing programs & stories
In the previous app, you could select exactly what you want to hear without NPR automatically adding other programs or stories into your selection. I tried to listen to the hourly news update, got 45 seconds into it and started hearing other stories from other previously aired programs. Please stop.
Excellent App
This news app is awesome! It is extremely easy to navigate and I enjoy the layout and content. I am a new user and I plan to stay with it, better than other news apps that I’ve used. Keep it the great work!
Terrible app
Terrible app. Falsely tells you you can access NPR music content when you cannot. Claims they consolidated prior apps into this one for the sake of convenience but it is completely impossible to find anything. May as well not even offer the service
