Ratings and reviews

Replaces an app that made it very easy to listen to various shows & stories. This version is insistent that you listen to the entire story through Finish Listening. Even adding the story to your playlist and deleting the playlist won't get the story off Finish Listening. It would be good to have a Not Interested button. Generally difficult to navigate; it would be good to have a website or YouTube video help.

It's hard to overstate how terrible this new version of the app is. It is difficult to get to the hourly headlines (and automatically cuts to local news), it is impossible to find the news stories I want to hear as opposed to the ones the app wants me to hear, and it constantly crashes and bugs. The old version allowed you to browse through the entire lineup of the day's news shows and select the stories you wanted to listen to in order. Please bring this back!

Frustrating and unpredictable. A significant downgrade from the previous app. The most frustrating behavior is how it plays seemingly random content when I try to listen to a specific show. In the previous app, I could queue up all the stories in today's q Morning Edition to listen to later in the day. In the new app, if I tap "listen to all" under Morning Edition, I get a couple stories from this show, followed by a random series of content from other shows. No way to view or modify the queue.
