All the news from the media outlet in your pocket
Nowadays, we have so many sources of information available to us that it is difficult to stay truly informed. The NPR independent media organization was created in order to solve this problem. Now it offers us its official app so that we can read the most relevant news and even listen to radio stations on our smartphone or tablet.
US radio, your way
NPR News is a news platform created by NPR, the independent US non-profit organization. When we download the APK file, we will gain access to lots of news, reports, and articles on current affairs. In addition, we will be able to read and listen to hundreds of news stories and content sorted by topic: politics, business, music, science, books...
Meanwhile, it also features live broadcasts from hundreds of radio stations. The channels can be searched for using a zip code or by turning on the GPS.
Read, listen, or create a playlist of your favorite NPR stories and share with friends.
Overall, it is a decent, independent, and trustworthy tool that helps us stay updated on the latest news and current affairs. The content is however mainly aimed at US users and the interface is not particularly intuitive. Nevertheless, it does its job.
