Sometimes sound drops out. I don't know why. But very, very, valuable app! Public radio is our lifeline to real news and information right now. We must hang onto public radio.

The app doesn't crash as much as it used to, but it still randomly crashes at the worst times. Also, when you're done and then close the app, the widget in the notification bar never goes away unless you go to the NYC app info and "force stop" it. I give it 4 stars instead of 3 because this app is the most convenient way for me to listen to NPR when I'm not in my car or at home. My phone has an FM Tuner, but only works if you plug in wired headphones (I use Bluetooth).
★★★★★Oliver Stevens· Sep 7, 2025
I love getting local news from NYC and the programming from NPR.
★★★★☆Richard Robins· Jun 24, 2025
I use this app 7 mornings per week. The only problem is technical, sometimes the stream drops. I close it & restart it, which can take time.
★★☆☆☆gregory sholette· Jan 17, 2026
Constantly forces a restart on mobile, on laptop news is regularly interrupted by station ads, clipping out part of the stream. In short, the app sucks
★☆☆☆☆Jim McCormick· Jun 22, 2024
NYC has fantastic content. Unfortunately, the latest app update consistently crashes when running in the background to the point that it's not usable. Very disappointing.
★★☆☆☆Bridget C· Dec 9, 2024
Horrible app. Cuts off your streaming session every few minutes with requests to donate to the station. I uninstalled and went back to using the website.
