∞ NPR releases iPhone news app

Written by

If you love getting your news and information from NPR, you’re going to like today’s news.


NPR launched an app for the iPhone that lets you tune into your favorite stations, catch up on missed programs and stay current on the latest news. “It’s fast and efficient. And, like the redesigned Web site, designed to deliver news and programming to standards NPR listeners and readers have come to expect — with integrity, consistency and occasional wit,” said Kinsey Wilson, SVP & GM, NPR Digital Media, in a post to the NPR Web site.

Using the app you can browse headlines and read stories, but that’s not all. You can also listen to programs live from practically any NPR station in the country — or time-shifted to suit your schedule.

NPR posted a video on YouTube giving users a tour of the new app.

NPR News for iPhone is just the beginning. The organization said this is the first of several coming out this year.

The app is free and available from the App Store.

    interesting, there is a Public Radio app as well. This is a bit more in-depth in that it allows selecting individual stores and building playlists. The public radio app does streaming and gives you access to archived shows from stations that support it.
