Nova Switch

I have recently changed stations and loving Nova. I am in the older generation and was great to hear Jodie again she is amazing. Thank you Nova for fulfilling my new change in stations to listen to and tell everyone to switch 👍❤️😀

Nova 100Melbourne

Love Love Love the show and listen every day and you always cheers me up if I’m feeling down. The morning crew with Chrissy, Sam and Browney are a good laugh and the afternoon show with Kate, Tim and Joel are a crack up. I’m missing Kate, but Ricki Lee is doing a fantastic job. You guys always take the mik out of each other and laugh it off, if only people in the community did the same thing there would be a lot more happier people out there. Keep up the good work guys

I love Nova

100% Nova follower. Love listening to Nova every day. No one is allowed to change my radio station because it is by far the best radio station. Lots of variety, and lots of fun with the crew on Nova. If your not listening to Nova you are simply not listening to the best!!!! Love all the Nova crew❤️💙

Bad app but good podcasts

I like the content on this app but it’s not a nice app to use because when you pause a podcast and swipe off the app, it doesn’t remember what you were just listening to. Also a lot of the time when I click which episode of a podcast I want to listen to it always plays the most recent episode.

Good station, average app

I’m afraid I’ve always had issues with this app glitching, looping ads and crashing but I’ve persevered. I usually listen to Chrissy, Sam and Browny on the Podcast but since they’ve returned after Christmas, every time I try to play a specific date it automatically starts playing the most recent upload instead. Between the glitching and it’s insistence on playing something I don’t currently want to listen to, I’m getting frustrated. It’s fine for live radio but the other feature just isn’t working, even after removing the app entirely and downloading again, plus restarting my phone. It’s a shame but oh well!

I’m not a robot glitch

Great app, it’s come a long way and really happy with it EXCEPT when you click I’m not a robot it cuts off half the screen so you can’t see all the squares or click verify. If you try to zoom out or scroll my screen has a heart attack and switches between screens and pixels.
My only issue with it and hope it gets fixed soon!

Buggy and Data heavy

I love KTJ and listen to them each afternoon on my way home using the app. However the app is very data heavy, the stream needs a good connection at all times to stay playing. I also listen to B105 using the Hit app in the morning and have no issues but the nova player always buffers.

The app is also very buggy, when you turn the volume the full way down it pauses the stream and then you have to open the app to restart it again. Today I can’t even start the stream because for some reason the play button isn’t working. I want to listen in but this app makes that difficult for me.

App Bug

Love the app but quite frequently when listening the stream will just stop and take a couple seconds to resume mid song or as hosts speaking. Sometimes doesn’t resume at all.
Extremely slow to start playing when first launch app or if pause stream for a short period.
Would be great without these glitches

Feedback on new app

EDIT UPDATE

The below problems have now been fixed and the app works just as well as the old one but with the added benefit of extra stations to listen to.

Preferred the old app to be honest. You can’t select a home station so whenever you start the app it automatically defaults to Sydney and with the previous app if I took a phone call it would automatically start playing again at the end of the call. Now I need to go back into the app and press play again. Super frustrating.

Response from developer

Hi nikmoir, Thank you for your feedback, it’s important to use to ensure you get the best experience. We’re sorry that happened, a few others have had the same issue, and we’ve fixed that issue now. There’s a few new stations in there too so would love you to check them out and see if you like them. We look forward to continuing to deliver the best listening experience.

Major problems with any other phone use

This app is good until you receive a call, open up another app or pretty much try to do anything outside of this Nova app only.
When a call comes in the app stops, but doesn’t automatically start again after the call. You have to go back into the nova app to start playing again.
Same thing happens with a lot of other apps usage, it’s just not compatible with anything else on the phone.
Has potential but needs these issues fixed as a priority.
