What's New
We are happy to announce we have a listening widget. Finally!
The player and playlist experiences have been streamlined. We've hopefully fixed some of the playlist issues around listening to entire programs and cleaned up some other pesky bugs.
We've also added sponsorship to our story pages. You can learn more about the different kinds of support NPR needs to maintain itself - including corporate sponsors - here: http://www.npr.org/about/support/
The application has access to the following:
Network communication
full Internet access
Allows an application to create network sockets.
view network state
Allows an application to view the state of all networks.
create Bluetooth connections
Allows an application to view configuration of the local Bluetooth phone, and to make and accept connections with paired devices.
Your location
coarse (network-based) location
Access coarse location sources such as the cellular network database to determine an approximate phone location, where available. Malicious applications can use this to determine approximately where you are.
Phone calls
read phone state and identity
Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to, ect.
System tools
send sticky broadcast
Allows an application to send sticky broadcasts, which remain after the broadcast ends. Malicious applications can make the phone slow or unstable by causing it to use too much memory.
automatically start at boot
Allows an application to have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting. This can make it take longer to start the phone and allow the application to slow down overall performance of the phone by constantly running.

Please fix App works well. But please fix the stream cutting out when text/notif's come in. That's a deal breaker. Droidx

Meh, almost.. Works better on my iphone Not sure why takes up to two minutes to load audio over wifi. Or why you have to turn it back on to load stories.. But anything that let's me skip SOME national petroleum radio has to be better than nothing

Bad rotation Forces me to hold my tablet upside-down. Should read the current alignment from the tablet.

Great except... Great app, especially since I live in Austraila and can only listen to NPR online. Only problem is that the stream stops whenever I get a notification like a text or email. Ideally it would restart after the notification tone.
