Ratings and reviews

Despite significant upgrades, this app still has problems. I can now subscribe to podcasts, which is nice, but auto-download doesn't work. Also, the app doesn't work with Android Auto, so I can no longer listen in my car. That's a huge negative, since that's where I do most of my podcast/radio listening.

global player app has been working very well until lately, I have it installed on three different devices and it was functioning well, but recently it has been doing weird things. for instance when you come to open the app the phone goes black like it's in sleep mode and then it will take a good few minutes to be able to get back into the app! this is happening on all three devices! two Nokias and a Huawei. this is happening every time I try to open the app.

Useless. Won't.play episodes of radio catch-up or podcasts properly. Constant audio cut outs, takes forever to download episodes. And now they've moved my favourite show from other podcast sites, and made it exclusive to Global. Neither te app not the player work properly. I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to play last night's nick abbot show!
