Hourly News App Reviews

A Great way to get the latest news and the app that I use almost every morning while making my coffee and breakfast. Easy to use once configured. Only suggestion for improvement concerns the RTHK feed which plays a complete song at the end of their feed, which I wish could be truncated in some way by the app. Any troubles in using this app, for me, have been feed and/or internet connection related and not fault of the app.

Great app if you want a very quick update. Options are good and possibility to listen to them in the order youd like is also great.

Within 10 minutes of asking me to rate this app it asks me again and again and again and again and again and again and again. Fix it. The app has a basic functionality that simply works. Short broadcasts in the sequence of your choosing. Great app, the only problem is it continuously asks you to read it even though you already have.

Love this app; I can tailor it to my preferred media outlets & hear just the news Im interested in.

I use this app all the time when I miss the top of the hour report from public radio. Listen to NPR, BBC and more on demand. What you want when you want and you can configure it to auto play on start up.

Love it, listen every night just before sleep.

The app is now saying that the app will slow down the iPhone and, "The developer of this app needs to update it to improve its compatibility." Last update was in 2014. Since this app isnt that complex, could it be that much work to update for the current iOS? Hoping this isnt abandonware.

Ive had this app for years, and its slowly gotten worse. If you pause the audio for more than a few seconds, the app gives you a cryptic error and goes to the next news cast. If connection is lost for a second, it skips to the next news cast. At various times, it inexplicably pauses. If you play again, it restarts at the beginning of the news cast. Dont reward developers that clearly have no interest in maintaining this app.

I love this app. In fact, its become part of my morning routine as my preferred source of news updates. Unfortunately, the current app is showing its age. Its beginning to show a few signs of slowdown, plus the NPR tech news feeds long ago stopped their broadcasts...but are still listed as options in the built in feeds list. Please, please, please update this marvelous program. It would be a crying shame to let it die.

Love this app - just open the app and I get news. Simple. But recently Ive been getting pop-up messages saying it might cause problems with my iOS (10.2). Id hate to see that happen, so please, please, give us a long-overdue update!!

Great app and simple to use. A little buggy but no big issues.

A great app that lets me sample a wide range of news sources for a brief 30 minute morning international report.

Dear developers – can you please do some basic updates on this app? I get a warning from my iPhone that your app will slow down my phone. I will change my review to five stars once you update the app.

A good radio, neutral, general information, good international coverage and no position or sides taken by journalists. Wish we had the same in France.

Very nice and simple app

Use this app frequently. Very handy

I am a news junky and this feeds my habit nicely. User friendly. Intuitive. Great clear sound. And best of all, it works well.

My go to news app for the latest across the board and world. Keep it up.

Excellent app !! Easy to use

This app is a good way to hear hourly news highlights from a variety of sources without having to tune in right on the hour.
