  1. 5/5New and greatly improved

    This new OPB app really IS new! It's not just a quick-fix upgrade. Finding my interests and expanding the depth of my understanding finally has me using THIS app as my launchpad. Easy and quick to navigate to exactly where I want to go, the organization is clear, with programs, stories, subjects, background and resources all very accessible.

  2. 5/5Easy way to catch up on the news

    Easy to use! This is a very convenient way to catch up in the news and not be dealing with a lot of advertising and promotional material. The news is balanced. There are articles and perspectives that I haven’t seen in other news sources I use. Features and capabilities in the app are easy to navigate and quite intuitive.

  3. 4/5Organized + highly useful

    I appreciate the clean and generally easy-to-navigate format: scrolling headlines, relevant images/graphics, clear organization, audio links, detailed dropdown menu, separate tabs for categories at the schedule section plus calendar of programs including on-air & upcoming shows. My only issue was finding a search bar - it’s tiny and seems to only exist in one section.

  4. 4/5Good app

    The new app that OPB just recently released has lots of good features and was easy to use. Navigating the site was fairly intuitive. Two things I’d like to see though. 1st, the date of the article right up front so you know if you’re tapping on fresh news or something a bit older. The 2nd “want” may not be under OPB’s control: Cross platform synchronization. I’d like my iPad saved stories, for example, to show up in my iPhone OPB app. Otherwise very good app for getting the news.

  5. 5/5Truth at your Fingertips

    I’ve been a fan of OPB since I was a kid so it’s Super cool to have an OPB App at age 45!! So refreshing to have News you don’t have to Fact Check. OPB is the Homecooked meal we need with all this processed Fast News going around. Seriously, there’s a great variety of News reported, the Bookmarks are easily accessible, the FONT size feature is thoughtful and needed. I’m in love with this app.
