As a way to find NPR shows  it's OK. As a media player  it's a train wreck. It's nice to have all my NPR shows in one place (as long as they're not more than a week old). It's just too bad that one place is this app. It's super clunky  it doesn't remember where you left off if you used any apps since the last time you used it  so long podcasts like Car Talk become a guessing game every time you start back up and try to figure out where you left off. It also  for some boggling reason  can't be controlled from the lock screen  so better just set it and forget it in your car  or you're probably going to die. Also  it can't store the podcast on your device  so if you have weak signal  you're just not going to advance to that next track. If there was any other app that I could find to listen to my NPR podcasts  I would.
