Hourly News App Reviews

This is perfect for me, lets you choose which news stations you want and in which order.

Nice sometimes a little crashy but for the most part stable, simple and easy to use. Wish there was a search function.

Easy to click play and get great summaries of the news while on the go

This app only wants you spend money on purchase it, and pay for any subscription! It doesnt work after I paid it! Have to delete it! Garbage!

Quick and convenient way of checking a variety of news sources. I use it often.

But, RTHK News IS TOO LOUD. Please normalize the volume across all channels! Otherwise, app works reliably, and transmits as clear as a bell. Just wish that theyd add more local stations.

Simple, intuitive, not a lot of bugs, and you can listen while you navigate other apps!

Was loving this app but the BBC clip just plays over and over again. NPR updates hourly but the same clip from BBC plays directly following. Should be a basic app- yet they cant even get that right. Also was swindled in to buying another feed- thinking I could just browse and select another news feed- nope- you have to enter the Streaming URL etc- which I have no way of finding. Just download free BBC app- its better

So simple yet so simply perfect. Great app for background news. Great way to stay on top of the news WITHOUT that your caps surfing the net.

We live in China. Hourly News is our tie to the U.S.

Best news service that I ever found. Covers the world in 10 minutes. Ingenious!

You can choose lots of different news sources to hear. I like to put it on the morning and listen to it. Good selection of news. I would still like even more sources of news.

Power up this all every morning to catch up with the news. Cant live without it. Part of my morning routine.

You can customize whatever news you desire. Very convenient!

This is a terrific app that lets you listen to the news from a variety of sources so that in 5 to 10 minutes you have surveyed the news deemed important from around the globe. I hope they add some Asian and Australian sources soon. Clean and simple controls. Highly recommended.

Worthless. Absolutely worthless

Why have I started hearing advertisements on NPR news? I have enjoyed this app everyday for two years until now.

Great idea, I like the minimalist design as its supposed to avoid distracting the driver. However, the slightest data connection problem results in the podcast ending abruptly and skipping to the next. Still have a bad connection? It continues skipping through them to the end and marks them as listened to, so it will skip them again later. Oh you want to pick up where you left off? Sorry, it just starts over at the beginning, you have to scrub to where the streaming error began. Did I mention youre driving a car while all of this is happening? This app would be dramatically better if it would just buffer the stream and automatically pause and restart. You know, like YouTube 10 years ago.

This simple app does what it purports to do. Great news content.

This is one of the few apps that I literally use multiple times a day, every day. Its a superb news radio/podcast aggregator that strips away the fluff and only gives you exactly what you need. One minor complaint that might be worth half a star deduction: occasionally it has syncing problems with the latest news release.
