    The updated NPR app from around 2022 is not great. The old version was way simpler and better. It's so difficult to access and edit playlists in the new version. Plus, when I look for a specific show like weekend edition, I just want to listen to all its parts but the app keeps playing other things instead of just Scott Simon or Aisha Roscoe.

    So there's this app that I used to love because it gave me quick news updates every day. I could listen to the latest headlines for about 10 minutes. But now, things have changed. The app has been updated and it's all different. Instead of choosing what I want to listen to, there's just one Play button, and when you tap it, you never know what you're going to get – it could be a short summary or a long story on some random topic.

    The process of choosing the best articles is not great. There aren't many, and they're not always the most important or timely. It's tough to find good articles without clicking on them first. They seem to want you to listen to podcasts or longer content. Also, there are some boxes at the bottom with old stories that have been there for months. It's frustrating. They should do something like CBC.

    Figuring out this app may take some time, but once you do, you'll find a wide range of news, information, stories, and more. It would be good to change the playlist order and delete items as mentioned before. Overall, it's a fantastic way to listen to NPR.

    The app is awesome when it works, but it often has issues like missing buttons or unresponsive menus. It can be frustrating and sometimes I have to restart my phone multiple times to make it work. Troubleshooting while driving is tough. I think an app made for car use should be easy to use and reliable.

    This news app is my favorite because it covers topics I'm really into. But recently, when I try to see more stories, it keeps showing the same ones on the next page. They said they fixed it yesterday but it's still happening. The fix they mentioned is from 2019, is that right? Even after deleting and reinstalling the app, no improvement. It only shows 10 stories and doesn't update the next day. I'm a big fan, as you can see from above text, but now you lost me.
