User Reviews

Summary: Reviewers praise Noa for broad-source content, quality narration, and a smooth, convenient listening experience, especially for commuting. However, multiple users report onboarding and account creation problems, gating content behind sign-in or paid accounts, and ongoing reliability issues like crashes, streaming failures, and offline errors, along with playback/queue frustrations. Overall, strong content and UX are offset by onboarding hurdles and stability concerns.

Pros

Broad selection of sources and publications.
High-quality narration and voices (including AI narrators) with a smooth UX.
Seamless listening experience for commuting and on-the-go use.
Timely, current coverage with well-curated content and Series features.
Overall ease of use and accessible content discovery.

Cons

Onboarding and account creation/login problems, with no clear sign-up option and frequent 'account doesn’t exist' errors.
Content access gating that requires signing in or a paid account to listen, limiting initial access.
Recurring performance issues such as crashes, freezes, slow loading, and streaming/offline errors.
Playback/navigation frustrations, including resume/queue problems and playback glitches.

Awesome!!! Great news ingestion. Used the human filter (could make it part of onboarding). (btw saw article restart b/c I triggered third-party app dictation while it was reading.) Read along is really neat. Would help to see full article in a frame with the original formatting and any assets. Thank you! — Day two of trying the app, updating my review. Listening to humans read the MIT review and Bloomberg, etc. is essentially perfect. If I could see the whole article, kind of like Microsoft Edge Immersive Reader, then the app would be also perfect when I'm sitting down and want to read along. I know this is a big ask because even the native iOS functionality is buggy, and Edge is far from perfect too (also privacy leak to MS). Publishers, I hope you would appreciate us being able to see the article like it was meant to be seen! Some of the narrators you could listen to for hours for sure. PS: is my data ever used for anything besides delivering the service?

What a joke of an app! First with all the questions like it’s Ticketmaster looking for ways to spam me. Nope, I just want to listen to FP without all the Noa bugs. But… there’s no way to create an account with Noa. That’s odd if not a terrible bug. Whatever. I don’t need it. ProPublica and FP work better than this junk app.
