NPR consistently presents balanced content that goes beyond the attention-getting headline to the substantive content of the story.

it's nice to still have somewhere to get the actual news. they just read the news, no yelling and no judgment.

The content is good, but the ux is terrible. Not sure what kind of people are in charge of ux. It's been years now. Previously one click can delete all the downloads but now the app added an "edit" button and you need to "save" before you can get out of the delete function. Secondly, you can't delete a downloaded piece if you are offline? Who thought of that?

NPR News is a reliable source for both local and national updates, offering thoughtful reporting that keeps me informed about the events shaping our daily lives. From community-focused stories to major political developments, it provides context rather than just headlines. The balanced coverage helps me understand not only what is happening, but why it matters and how it affects us all. By staying connected to personal, social, and political issues through NPR, I feel better prepared for the day
