This could be a wonderful app! My only, and major, complaint is that it closes itself, every few minutes which is beyond frustrating. This has been a problem for years, but only sporadically until November 2019. I've emailed and written NWPB to no avail. Tomorrow I'm going to call. It is now December 2020, the problem has worsened, and other issues have popped up as well. Have placed phone calls, additional emails and letters - yet no response to any of them.

It's wonderful to be able to go back and hear shows you missed or when listening in your car you do not have time to complete.

Works well for both video and streaming audio.

The NWPB app gives me a great experience. I love streaming NPR programming, and being able to easily access the local, regional, national, and international news articles is wonderful!

Started with 2 stars due to performance issues. The app would stop for no reason. Those issues were resolved. So I changed to 4 stars. Only deserves 1. It will not even open. Keep getting a message saying that an internet connection is needed. Which is strange because all of the other apps on my phone that require an internet connection work fine. My Wifi tests out to over 100 mbps download and upload. Streaming directly from the NWPB site works fine. This app is the only way that does not.

I am an avid NPR listener and supporter, but this app is the worst! It stops constantly during programs for no reason, especially if I move the phone; this became worse when I upgraded to the S10. When I close out, I get messages all day long that the app is still running. The sound comes thru tinny or digital sounding, but if I'm on NPR One, it sounds fine for the same program. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that doesn't seem to help. Love the station, hate the app.
