The NPR app first launched in April 2008 and provided an up-to-date digest of the news of the hour, with headlines and breaking alerts, enterprise reporting, science, entertainment, music, storytelling and cultural programming, live streams from Member stations, and the most popular nationally and locally-produced podcasts. The former NPR One app was launched in 2014 to blend NPR and Member station news reporting into a rich, localized, on-demand experience.

NPR will continue to update the app to improve and build on the user experience. The NPR app is available on iOS and Android mobile phones and tablets. More information is available on NPR’s about pages.
