CES 2012: Ford SYNC adds NPR News app, hits impressive milestones

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 01:00:15 UTC +00:00

IntoMobile

Ford has joined forces with National Public Radio to bring NPR news programs and stations to select Ford vehicles with Ford SYNC AppLink. Since SYNC is powered by voice control, drivers can listen to NPR’s radio stations without even having to glance at their smartphone. The updated NPR app includes support for SYNC AppLink, which can then be set up in the car. Ford cites a growing trend in Internet radio usage as one of the motivations for this new in-car tech. Using cell phones to listen to online radio has grown 5 percent in the last year and 49 percent in the last three years, according to Ford. “With AppLink, drivers can manage smartphones through the in-car audio system or via the power of voice while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road,” said Doug VanDagens, Global Director of Connected Services at Ford. The ultimate goal Read More

NPR News Completely Overhauled and Available In the Android Market › AndroidGuys

NPR News version 2.0 for Android features a new user interface, a re-done player, and live streams of full programs. Users can read, listen, or create playlists of their favorite stories on NPR and easily share them with friends and family. I think the ability to listen LIVE is important and is the most welcomed feature of this version. NPR listens to its users (ironic sounding, I know) and claims many of these new features are a result of user feedback. Below is the description from the Android Market.

Screenshots Of Refreshed Version Of NPR For Android Surface, Images Point to Updated UI And New Search Functionality | Android News, Reviews, Apps, Games, Phones, Tablets, Tips, Mods, Videos, Tutorials - Android Police

One of the ugliest, but most functional, news apps on the Android Market has to be that of NPR News. While the app does provide a great deal of news and live streaming radio, it's completely hideous. Luckily though, this is all about change. We've landed some screenshots of a new refresh coming to the NPR for Android app. The update, which should be hitting the Android Market by the end of the month, looks to give NPR for Android a more polished look, matching the NPR for iPhone app. At this point, not much is known about what the app update will bring, but it looks as if it will certainly bring a search functionality and give Android users the ability to view images within news stories. Just those two things alone will be a very nice addition! I know I can't wait to see it. Read More

NPR Open Sourcing its Android App | AndroidGuys

In a posting on their site, National Public Radio has announced that they are opening up the code for their Android app to some crowd-sourcing love! Not only are they giving the app an open source license, they are actively asking for the input of interested developers. What's awesome about this article is that it gives a big nod to the fact that Android use has exploded in recent months, and people are starting to take notice. Take a look at this quote from the announcement: We didn't know how fast the Android platform would grow or what kind of an impact it would make. The last six months show us Android's incredible trajectory and that our audience gravitates toward that momentum. Since the app's release in December, we've seen astounding growth, and now over 100,000 people use this new platform each month. In the spirit of the Android operating system, Read More

NPR makes source code for Android app public – Android and Me

Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:00:00 UTC +00:00

Android and Me

NPR (National Public Radio) has just issued a press release announcing that they have made the source code for their Android application public. For those who have never heard of public radio (shame on you), it is a member supported radio service providing (usually) unslanted news coverage, classical music, and entertaining programs such as the Car Talk and This American Life. Google it. You won’t look back. With the release of the application’s source code, NPR is hoping Android community programmers, in conjunction with Google developer Michael Frederick, will contribute cool new code that will make this app better. Not a programmer? NPR still wants to hear from you, as they believe user ideas are key to building innovative new functionalities. So, all you programmers interested in helping create a truly wonderful public radio application as well as you Android users who simply want to share a brilliant idea you have, Tweet Read More

NPR News Android app now streams live broadcasts to your phone | Google Android Blog

Androinica

NPR’s official Android app NPR News can now provide live streams of programming from local radio stations. When released last month, NPR News was able only to play shows after completion. Version 1.2 of the app permits listeners to tune-in to shows like Morning Edition and Tell Me more as the show is broadcast to radio. NPR News has over 1,000 streams of on-demand and on-air shows. The app also reads and listens to custom playlists, and search for local stations via GPS location or zip code. That adds-on to the previous features of showing top audio and text stories, and showing audio reports of news stories organized by category. Download NPR News from the Android Market and listen to your favorite shows today. Read More

i use it in the car since i don't have coverage for WNYC near home. if it's not running in the foreground, it shuts down and disappears. no "quits unexpectedly" message. poof! it's gone. and why does it take four clicks to get to my favorites. volume is much lower than other apps (like my GPS apps) and it could use a longer audio buffer. i really want to love this. really. but it's just not reliable on my bone stock Atrix 4G

Bob

I tried to install NPR News on my stock 2.3 Haipad M701 tablet. Keep getting "This app is incompatible ... your device's content rating filter is incompatible..." Google needs to remove all of the hoops one needs to jump through to install an app. WTF? NPR News is INCOMPATIBLE? WTF? I want to like Google and Android, but they need to QUIT BEING EVIL (or STUPID) - let ME decide what I want to install, not some frickin' algorithm! This is NOT NPR's fault.

Matt Weinberg

It is with great regret that I write this review. I love NPR, I'm a member of my local station, but the app in its current form is completely unusable. After having to force quit FOUR times in two minutes when I wasn't even using it, I had to uninstall. I love NPR, I'll miss being able to listen to it wherever I am, but the current state of the app is ridiculous. Please fix it, or at least let us revert to a version that worked properly.

Nancy

I am a HUGE NPR fan, so this was among the first apps that I got. If your local NPR affiliate doesn't carry your preferred programming, this is a great option. For that reason, I want to love this app, but I can't. GOOD: 1) selection of programs and podcasts; 2) you can create a playlist; 3) you can listen live; 4) many program episode lists are archived so you can listen to programs that are "older"; 5) multiple searches; 6) you can program radio presets. I assume this lets you listen in your car via BlueTooth. BAD: 1) some programs have only that day's episodes, so you can easily miss out; 2) the "clear list/played" buttons are badly placed so that it's easy to delete programs before you intend to. This is particularly frustrating given #1; 3) I can't fast forward on my phone. There is a slide bar and I can do this on my tablet; UGLY: 1) the app force closes A LOT; 2) there's no QUIT button so it runs in the background even after you stop it.Sometimes it will restart itself if I don't close through TaskManager. I want to love it, but I can't. This NPR member isn't impressed. Hoping for improvements in future updates. Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant

Like everyone else is saying - Force closes constantly, is nearly unusable. Will sometimes force close even when I'm not using it. This is sad, I love NPR and this was one of the most used apps on my phone. I'm afraid NPR is just more concerned with their iPhone/iPad apps than they are about Android users. Hopefully someone from NPR will notice the string of complaints from Android users. Oh, HTC Incredible 2 here, if that helps.

As much as I love NPR, I dislike this app. It crashes constantly!! ...even out of nowhere when I haven't ran it in days and I don't even know it is running. Also it would be great if you could download stories ahead of time so you could continue to listen when you lose signal. Very frustrating and nearly useless on my NYC walk>subway>walk commute. Even cached text stories are suddenly no longer available when a data connection is lost. Obviously the developers of this app don't actually use it. HTC Thndrblt

DanL

As of 4-15 problems still continue . Frequent shutdowns hangs and 'stop working' notices. Finally gave up. Uninstalled. Went to tune in radio. Zero stars for not fixing all the issues presented by others and me. After the last update screen rotation is not working on xoom. Wish i could go back. And now after another update the rotate function still does not work. Along with frequent hangups forcing an uninstall and reinstall to make it work.
