Ratings and reviews

Usability is very bad, the UI is very bad and the experience of using the app itself is very bad. *Major Edit* The price for access to these repetitive, biased and bafflingly political - except the GAA content - podcasts is awful. There is nothing even remotely acceptable about this platform. Free episodes disappear after exiting, which sometimes happens when the app shuts down for no apparent reason. No video. No cross-platform...I have not paid for this for months now and suggest no-one does.

Ive subscribed and paid, got a new phone, and when I redownloaded the app it didn't recognise my subscription. Tried to go through support part of the app and keep getting an error massage. Tried to ring support but the phone sends directly to voicemail. Was giving the uselessness (general UI and many, many bugs) of it the benefit of the doubt for the content before now. But that's not worth the hardship of this app.

Really poor app with no improvements in more than a year. It skips from OTB to 98fm for no reason when playing radio. The podcasts have no time out or sleep function and run into each other. You subscribe to not have adds but get stuck with disproportionately loud "go loud" adds. It'd a shame you pay for OTB and get a far worse service than when it was free. I emailed Bauer and they say there's no plans to fix the problems highlighted....
