Ratings and reviews

I would keep the old app if I could. Yes it required bug fixes but now it's gone from simple and practical to fancy and confusing. Podcasts used to be easy to work through now they are grouped sorted and twirled. Think twice before you upgrade just to update now needs some tlc click on various podcasts and it crashes e.g sunday show at 11.00 needs some work.

Other than having to re-log in so often. Which is wildly annoying and unnecessary. My devices are my devices. And in no way am I worried about someone stealing my login info. So they can what.... listen to the free radio for me?? It's unnecessary. There are also some ststions never seem to load at all. And I dont know why. The downloaded podcasts need a search option. But its still a solid app.

This is app is just to confusing to navigate. Iv tried a number of times to find past podcasts, of different Newstalk shows, that I may have missed during the day etc, and I end up giving up each time, as it's just impossible to find what I'm looking for. A straight forward, easy to navigate, Newstalk app is what's required. Iv given it 2 stars as there obviously was a lot of work put in to develop the app, but it's just over engineered times 10.
