Ratings and reviews

It is disappointing that the last few versions of this very welcome and useful app have become impossible due to random and frequent stopping. It is not fixed by reinstallation. Hope that the new version 8 promised soon fixes it. UPDATE NOW TRIED V8. Same problem. Randomly stops. First time after 20min, then after several minutes, repeatedly. ABC PLEASE FIX IT - WE WANT IT - IT'S GREAT WHILE IT'S WORKING!

Years of trouble free listening ended last night when my beloved ABC listen app decided to close. Would not open or would open momentarily only to close again. Tried the usual: delete cache and files; restart phone; uninstall the reinstall etc etc ad nausium. Nothing worked. App is still won't open. Please help!

We are overseas and the Listen app now crashes every time we try to use it on 2 different Samsung phones and a Samsung Tablet. Hasn't normally caused a problem until today. WHAT HAPPENED!! (Sounds like an Optus software upgrade!!!!)
