NRK Radio | unitQ Score

The countdown counts much slower than the speed of the podcast actually goes. Hopeless app

Adds nothing but annoyance at not being able to hear all favorites in the preferred app...

The app now forces you to log in before allowing you to download an episode to your phone for offline listening. The app claims this is necessary so it can “remember how far you have listened”. There is no technical reason for this. Look all the other apps that do this without forcing you to create an account. (Also, I'm an iOS developer - I know how easy it is to store such data locally on the phone.) First they removed all the NRK podcasts from the Apple Podcasts app and forced us to use this NRK app. Now they force us to create an account to download in this app. I wonder if next we'll have to create an account to listen at all? It doesn't seem great that the national broadcaster is systematically reducing access to content in this way.

Direct turns off after a few seconds. This happens every time the app starts up. Always have to start directly twice before it rolls and runs as expected.

It should have been possible to automatically download and add episodes automatically to queue. Otherwise, the content of the casts I follow is top-notch.

Often has to be turned on and off to keep listening

I think it's confusing. Cumbersome to switch between listening to podcasts and radio.

The content on NRK Radio is fantastic and gets top scores! But the radio app has potential for improvement. First and foremost, the ability to 'fast-forward' and rewind the program during the live broadcast selection on a locked mobile screen, in the same way as in the podcasts in the app (and in all other apps). If the back and forth function is used on AirPods, for example, the app changes channels instead of rewinding! Very annoying. This normally worked for a period of time (in some versions), but disappeared again. Hope this can be fixed! In addition, rewinding in live streams is unstable. The queuing system and the status of which programmes have been heard should also be looked at. Seems like status 'heard' is forgotten. Would have been nice to be able to sort the queue so that episodes of the same program came in order:) But all in all, the NRK Radio app gives access to a fantastic amount of good ad-free programs/entertainment and, with the exceptions mentioned, has a very good user interface😊

Very happy with the program offer, but have problems with playback of the app itself. It often crashes a couple of times, three times an hour! And, yes, it is updated. Phone as well...
