Ratings and reviews

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.

since update the player is so unstable now. shame as was what I used every day with some great podcasts (not bothered by the radio) what have they done to it?! Cleared cache. deleted and re downloaded and nothing seems to work..it plays and then seems to stop working when you go to play something new. Responded but no response from you. What is going on. looks like lots of others having same issues. I have to delete and redownload to get it to work whenever it gets the issues!

this is the worst podcast player I've ever used. Ask it to download episodes automatically? It'll get the episodes you heard live, but not the one you wanted to listen to. Manually download an episode? Make sure you watch that download bar like a hawk, otherwise it'll fail. Want to download something using mobile data? It's a fifty fifty chance whether that's possible. And the cherry on the top is that every so often it'll lose all your settings & subscriptions. Buy a radio instead!
