ST00PS,
Just Ok, so I use ApplePodcasts
I started off listening to NPR podcasts with this app. I loved it! I had more control over what I listened to as I didn’t always enjoy the shows played on my local NPR station. Over time though, I got frustrated and started to subscribe to NPR shows/podcasts on the ApplePodcasts app instead.
1. Ad breaks in NPR One app can’t be skipped unless you pay for the premium service. I already donate $35/month to my local NPR station and I don’t want to pull that away from them. Also, the donation drive weeks are still pretty annoying in the app, so no thanks. ApplePodcasts allow the user to skip through ads and they’re just less annoying in general. I know this likely isn’t possible but is there no way to link up local station donors to an NPR One account to a premium account?
2. The app does not remember your playback position if you stop listening and use another app or even remain in the app to read an article. I will stop in the middle of a podcast to read an article in the NPR app and when I go back to listening, it kicks off with another ad, then starts in on the National Newscast, completely forgetting about the podcast I was listening to. ApplePodcasts holds your playback position in a podcast even if you close out the app, and it is wonderful.
Those are my two most significant gripes at the moment.

As essential as my morning coffee
Using the NPR1 app has become a part of my daily routine. I always start my morning with the Up First broadcast. I like how the app automatically moves between a myriad of shows, since I’m usually multi-tasking and rushing around while listening. However, I do wish it was easier to find which shows I recently listened to or which ads for new shows popped up while I was listening. The content is great, but this part isn’t very user-friendly. Sometimes I hear an ad for a new podcast and before I can process and “click on the screen to learn more,” it’s already gone. There have been many times when I’m driving, cooking, or just somehow disconnected from my phone that I miss a show I wanted to hear more about. Maybe a “recently played” or “recently suggested” would make this easier. When I’m not starting with the news, I tend to switch to other podcast platforms simply because I don’t know or can’t find what I want to listen to on NPR1 (though I know I would rather hear its content).
Other than that, I really appreciate the diversity. I don’t subscribe to one political party, so I’m always searching for a more balanced and empathetic coverage that fairly describes both views (even the view I disagree with). Though NPR can still lean more in one direction, it is the best I’ve found so far and I appreciate how the hosts usually refrain from emotional or opinionated responses. I’ll continue listening and using for a long time.

Techie tucker,
Still flawed but latest update is much improved
The mini player itself is great and pretty much the same format you would expect from any audio app on iOS. It’s not dark mode when you have it maximized but it’s close enough to not make much of a difference. The forward and back buttons are a great improvement. The main app is still going to blind you if you open the app at night but at least you can get it to something more reasonable by maximizing the player. Searching for recently missed shows on some of the podcasts with lots of shows is still a chore. When you go to the shows podcast page, they are still ordered from oldest to newest instead of the other way around like any other player would do which can mean scrolling through dozens of pages to get to a newer show for some of these podcasts. A sort button like most other apps use would go a long way to fixing this problem. Hopefully this update is and indicator that the app developer is listening and we don’t need to wait years for basic features after this. I do like NPR and this app is a significant improvement. A little more tweaking and it could be five stars.

Disappointing Downgrade
Update: Still playing repeat episodes, in the last 24 hours they’ve tried to play the same episode at least 6 times (that I’ve noticed so far)
I used to listen to NPR on the NPR News app, where you could make playlists and listen to (or binge) all your favorite shows, or choose a station and listen to a live stream. When the podcasts jumped ship, I was forced to switch over to this app, and it's been painful. Limited number of skips, but the news segments are broken up story by story, so you waste 10 of them trying to get through one segment, no playlist feature, which is the most frustrating thing. I've had the app randomly start playing when my phone was on silent and in my pocket, in public, in meetings, in the middle of conversations, even when the app isn't open. Additionally, there are several podcasts that seem to be added to my feed as filler. They play episodes I've heard multiple times, not rebroadcasts or new versions, just the same episode over and over. My most recent complaint is that it's become particularly glitchy. Not playing the story you select (as in playing a completely different one), or not loading. If this wasn't the only way for me to hear these podcasts I would never use this app again. The shuffle feature should be an option, but not the entirety of the function of the platform. This is a poorly designed disaster.

5***** for usage, 3*** for frustration
It would be hypocritical of me to rate NPR1 anything less than 5 because even with its frustrating feature shortages, I listen round the clock. I get that the lack of controls/queue/15-sec-skip are to promote binging and “discovery” outside my usual subscriptions. If that’s the goal, then send me more variety in new/local/non-NPR shows. (Even add shows outside my lefty echo chamber :o). I’m over the fact that clicking “interesting” simply gets me more stories from that show or category rather than nuanced insightful predictions like Netflix (yo, non-profit budget).
Still, within the simple objectives of the app, there are some essential practical improvements. Many of us listen while driving/doing something else with hands and eyes. We can’t always share, rate or save before the story disappears, and the hmmm moment often comes at the end of an episode. We might not even see the name of the show that just ended so we can look it up. Please add the option to go back or at least see previously heard stories. We also wander away from our desks/attentiveness and want to know what we missed. I’ll put the rest of my suggestions in the app’s suggestion box.

Not Podcast Friendly
I like the option to save podcast episodes and news stories to “listen later” but the app buries that list at the very bottom of a scroll under the “explore” tab, not the “listen” tab, which is super unintuitive and hard to find. Then when you’re listening to an episode, the controls on the full screen view don’t give an option to advance by 15 or 30 seconds, just reverse. And if the phone is locked, the mini player on the Lock Screen doesn’t even give the reverse option. I need to unlock my phone and pull up the app every time I want to back it up 15 or 30 seconds to hear something I’ve missed. The mini player should give both the back up and advance options. I’m also frustrated by the fact that if I’m listening to a podcast from the Listen Later selection, then pause it for more than a minute, the app has forgotten what I was listening to, even though I didn’t close the app, and I have to find and re-select the episode, and it doesn’t remember where I stopped.
Backwards K,
So much promise, so poorly executed
NPR has great content, it's a shame they put it into this useless app. If you haven't seen this already, it will lock you out if you don't register after one week. I just want to listen to some podcasts, I don't want to cultivate a bubble. And no, NPR, I don't want you to track my usage. Take off. Second, the app does not queue the next segment, so if you're listening in a place with intermittent service (like the subway or in a car) you get one segment, then dead air. Extremely frustrating. It also randomly drops what you're listening to and starts a new segment. If you pause for more than a few seconds it starts a whole new podcast and there's no way to go back to what you were listening to without stopping, searching, and restarting. Overall, I love the content, it makes my commute interesting and at least feel somewhat productive. But this app is so dysfunctional as to defeat its own purpose. Please fix it.
Update: I wrote this something like 4 years ago and nothing has changed, except maybe to get worse. Now I get 5 - 10 minutes of a stream, then the buffer times out and I get the three “loading” dots for a long time until the app just crashes. Useless.

NPR is always FIVE stars | This app is ONE
The concept is fantastic and it’s really nice be able to listen to stories on “shuffle” in a similar way you listen on the radio, without knowing what the next subject may be. The problem is you can not customize what you hear in any way, I listen to marketplace every evening on my way home from work so I don’t need it in the NPR One app. But I can’t inform the app that I don’t want to hear this anymore. It also repeats over and over and over, I’ve heart the intro to Children of Afghanistan no less than nine times so far. Lastly, you should be able to filter content based on your mood, the world is a depressing place right now and some days I don’t have it in me to hear political news. I feel like you should be able to “toggle” off political content, or the opposite…when it’s the day before/after an election, you could toggle on political content ONLY.
Everyone should absolutely still download the app, because the content is top notch and the tech is ALMOST there, but a lot more functionality, filters, “dislike” buttons, etc. are all needed to make this app live up to what NPR believes it is.

a_riverrat,
Amazing app for local radio and international news coverage!
My Radio went out in the truck awhile back and so I don’t have access to 90.1 so I tried out the App and I use it all the time. It’s great for local stories, connects to your local broadcast similar to how the radio method does, or I can use the explore option if I wanna find something specific or I can hit catch up and it plays up to date/recent stories and news coverage. I am constantly driving between towns no ones ever heard of in rural utah and it Connects/ works great- seriously have been impressed on the content and the functionality of it. So, thanks!
ps Make sure your phone is updated because there’s one review about it shorting out or bugging but I had that problem so tried installing belated updates cause I’m horrible at doing those on the smart phone and it’s worked great ever since, and the set up in car isn’t that great it’s an old Nissan pushing 300k Miles.

FireDMG,
I use this app every day!
I start every morning by listening to the national and regional newscast. It’s informative and only takes a few minutes, while staying objective to events that happened without inserting any political bias.
After that, I let let NPR autoplay through Morning Edition or the podcasts I follow from my previous and current local stations as I go about my morning.
My only gripe is that I wish their search and discoverability UX were more powerful and topic-specific so I could find similar or related podcasts from ones I already currently listen to. I’d also like to be able to more easily explore other city’s stations to see what shows are available in their region without having to guess their obscure/dated string of call letters (so maybe just a map where I could tap on a region and see what shows are popular/being listened to there).
Also, I know it’s not really meant for this but I wish I would be able to make my own playlists and add shows/episodes I find to them: “Shows that got me through 2020”, “BLM”, “Adulting 101”, etc.. The current Save For Later function is just a flat list of up to 20 episodes, but I try to use it for relevant shows I feel were largely representative of or impactful on the era they were released.
Love this app and all the great journalism and content by all these wonderful people.
