Re: More on the NPR One App
Hello, Alan. I believe that when the Interesting button is activated, the user is telling the app that she/he would like to see more storeis of a nature similar to the one just marked. However, the FAQ says something about this indicator not being fully developed yet. I am traveling now and can't look back at the details of the FAQ to give the list more information, unfortunately. Thanks for the NPR address to which to write. Your Googling effort paid off. Whenever I have written to NPR, I have used the Contact Us link from the home page and then used the various combo boxes to direct my note to the NPR One app section.

Re: More on the NPR One App
The NPR station can be changed if one likes. The setting is in the Profile section. Note that the app has recently been updated. So far, I can't detect any changes related to VoiceOver. The app is very young and appears to be in active development.

RE: More on the NPR One App
Thanks, Alan. I downloaded the app yesterday and played with it some. It’s very usable from the get-go (once I realized after signing up on the app they needed me to reply to an authorization email before my account would be active; I wasted a half hour repeatedly trying to sign in while being told I couldn’t!. This was registering as a new NPR.org user.) No commercials or underwriting (at least so far). I found a few unlabeled buttons if I clicked on a story title, but couldn’t quite figure them out. I also found a 3-finger swipe left or right could sometimes change a page to different content. Don’t know any more than that now. At one point during the login process there was an option for text or graphic. This was during my before the email authorization phase, so I’ll make sure text is enabled if I find it again. Also, I noted on the Welcome email that came up after the email authrozation, that there was a link to contact them with technical questions. They may be amenable to feedback regarding VoiceOver usability. This is a much more accessible and usable app than my Minnesota Public Radio News app, which my efforts to get them to address these issues have fallen on deaf ears.
