  No accountability

  There is no longer any option for reporting your sexist, racist or ethically/morally wrong articles within your app. Is it because you're tired of people tell you they're disappointed in your efforts? Maybe you've wasted a decade of your life and are just holding on to a bad idea. Instead, I will make complaints against your journalists and your licenses. There may be a free freedom of speech, but we are held accountable to what we share publicly. Don't mislead ordinary people. Don't praise women at the expense of men. Don't praise Black at the expense White. Vice versa expectations on all this.

  Hijacks audio

  Fine app, except it cuts off audio from other apps while scrolling through items on the home page.

• ★★★★★alle-rater

  I trust NPR

  I use AI in my day-to-day for mundane tasks. It’s accurate-seeming (enough) that I don’t know if it’s actually accurate unless I double check it. When it comes to understanding what’s really happening out there, I don’t want to double check. I just want to trust. For me, that’s NPR.

  So Pushy

  I donate. Subscribe to NPR+. PLEASE stop constantly nagging me to allow notifications, and just let me use the app in peace. I don’t need more notifications in my life.

  Amazing app + my idea

  This app is so great to listen to the news and I have an idea that you should try. Whenever I listen in the morning, my family is usually pretty noisy like when emptying the dishwasher from last night or cutting fruits and stuff and it’s kinda hard to really hear the news properly so my idea is that you can add a closed captions button so that people who can hear very well can still understand what they are saying. Please take this into consideration thank you!
