Comments on NPO Luister for Android

★★★★☆ Bart Pander · Nov 4, 2023

Could be great, but for a Dutchman living abroad there is too much content blocked.

★★★★☆ Ben Kessler · Sep 23, 2023

A lot of content. Had to search everywhere in the app for the 'wachtrij' / queue and gave up. Only later I saw that it is located on the player screen. Would be great if the 'wachtrij' is also shown under 'Mijn luister' where I expected it. Because, why would I need to start playing any random podcast first before I can access the podcasts I want to listen and put in my to-do list?

★★★★☆ Abdessalam Salmi · Jun 4, 2024

It will be so much better if it has subtitles.😑😑😑. Sometimes it is difficult to follow and recognize everything said, the subtitles will make this app perfect. But ot is in general good. Wie luistert weet meer...

★★★★☆ Karin · Dec 11, 2024

Great app to listen to all the NPO stations. But the stream to a device option doesn't work, which would make this a 5 start app.

★☆☆☆☆ Jan Doggen · Feb 12, 2024

I'm removing the app. AGAIN my wife has been woken up during the night because you cannot implement HEADSET/EARPHONES OFF=SOUND OFF. Instead, the sound suddenly starts blaring from the speakerphone if I switch of my ear phones. Very bad design. Also, two minor points: a) restart the sound if I restart the timer b) do a fade out instead of a cut-off when the timer expires.

★★☆☆☆ Richard Benetti · Jan 27, 2024

This app is very good and useful because all NPO radios are here. But there are two issues here: 1- we can't download your app on tv (as Chromecast Google TV, Fire TV Stick etc.). The only option available it's you generic 'NPO Start' and there's no option to watch your radios there. 2- No visual radio: I often watch NPO Radio 2 and NPO 3FM, and in the old 'NPO' app we were able to do this.

★☆☆☆☆ Michael Kemna · Apr 16, 2026

The description of the app suggests you can listen to the radio. I am looking for an app on my phone to listen to FM for war preparation. However, internet is always required for me (Wi-Fi or mobile). You don't listen to FM radio, you listen to the same broadcast over the internet. This defeats the purpose of the app for me. Why would I not use NPO start instead? Or if the functionality isn't in NPO start, then why split functionality up in different apps?
