Earlier this year, NPR released a Windows 8 version of NPR One for Windows, and recently, a Universal version. NPR, which is a national public radio producer with member stations throughout the US, has now released a universal app for Windows 10 and is coming soon to Windows 10 Mobile.
The new version 2.0 is designed specifically for Windows 10 with a better big-screen experience and comes with Cortana support.
“When we released the Windows app, we had an unanticipated spike in iOS and Android downloads, as well” said Ben Schein, Product Manager at NPR. “Seventy percent of NPR listeners use Windows devices, and we’ve seen a 50-percent increase in their listening time just since Windows 10 came out. And that was before we upgraded our app.”
Features:
- A personalized stream of NPR and local station news and stories
- Skip, rewind, pause and share
- Search for your favorite shows, stations and podcasts
- International, national, regional and local content
- A simple, intuitive interface
The app is currently only available as a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app on Windows 10 desktop, but NPR notes that Mobile support is coming soon.
