Pros
NPR News Android App allows you to listen to many local radio stations within their broadcast network or stations around the country. In addition to streaming radio stations, you can read or listen to top news stories as they are transcribed with audio/text. Add to playlists and share stories and podcasts with friends.
Since many smartphones lack a built-in radio receiver, streaming online radio is more than sufficient replacement. Great for continuing your favorite radio station from the car to mobile without missing much.
Easy… search for stations or genres to listen to or read.
It’s really a personal choice whether you listen to radio often or a station you like is available amongst more than 600 listed stations.
An elegant and organized user interface.

I’m a huge NPR fan and was initially disappointed when going from iPhone to Android that there was’t an official NPR app (with streaming). This fills in a huge Android hole for me.
The only problem with the app is that it doesn’t have a “favorites” or save option for streams and/or podcasts you listen to frequently. So everytime I want to listen to my local NPR station, I need to search by location or call numbers, which takes a few extra moments. A saved list would make this even better.
Is there something special that I need to stream from NPR or the local station once I have the app installed? This was one of the first apps I downloaded, and once I boot it up, the player feature doesn’t do anything. The local station’s website indicates I need Flash to run their stream, but even when I tried to listen to content from NPR.org, again the player shows up at the bottom of my screen but nothing plays. Any thoughts?
NPR News is a favorite! I can add to my playlist and share stories and podcasts with my friends….so easy to use.
