Needs a custom queue option
Lots of great podcasts. My rating dropped 2 stars because of the lack of being able to create a custom queue. That’s the main reason I listen via Apple Podcasts and not via this App. Please create a custom queue.
Rewind option?
Five stars if you add a 10second skip back and forward or a pause for the Sport feeds! Syncing up the TV with the ABC commentary is an Aussie must. Please!!
Can’t play oldest episodes
I just found this app & it’s great but I don’t like that you can’t play oldest first . It plays next episode which is newest , it doesn’t play next inline
Autoplay function with audiobooks is frustrating
I am an avid user of ABC listen, particularly as I like the content. However using the autoplay function that plays the next chapter of an auto book or podcasts is very frustrating. Content is loaded with most recent editions at the top of the list and books with chapters in chapter order - seems like it makes sense. However the autoplay works by progressing from the bottom up and so podcasts published in multiple parts and books play in reverse order. Why can’t users select the direction in which autoplay progresses or, if this is too difficult, why can’t users alter the sort sequence of the content list?

Bad update
App no longer continues playing audio in background if you go to homescreen or start using any another app on iphone. Really bad.
Home away from home.
I've been away from home for so long and ABC listen keeps me in touch with my homeland well enough to not feel overwhelmingly home sick.
Loving the podcasts
The app is fantastic to listen to ABC originals. I only wish I could add "play next" episodes from different podcast instead of searching after the episode finishes. I haven't found the way to do that so far.
Time to have a break 'option
Could the developers of the ABC listen app have an option "remind me to take a break". Y.T has that option so I won't drain the battery flat on my iphone. On the abc app, I frequently forget to "adjust the sleep timer" while listening to the radio. It would be good if it can remember my last choice with "on sleep timer. Cheers

Problem
Road trip problems. The ap drops out frequently while driving in the bush. It drops out 90% of time on the top of the hour ie news time.
Most frustrating.

No fast forward button
If only you could fast forward through the presenter’s introduction. If you want to listen to something like Peaceful Piano you have to listen to the introductions every time and can’t fast forward through them. The BBC app so much better.
Apple Watch suitable please
I love ABC Australia. Please make the listen app accessible from Apple Watch
Performance Issues
The ABC app attempts a ”heroic” act of squeezing far too much content into a performance constrained architecture. Its taken Napoleon’s adage “quantity has a quality all of its own”!
It has attempted to load far too much functionality which impacts end users. Please reduce functionality to reduce my iPhone being bricked so often. Or allow the user to configure what they require! Not good enough!

full of glitches
This app needs a complete rebuild. When you touch a command button it takes 10 seconds before responding. The app also shuts down without warning or stops playing when you start using other apps. I've tried reinstalling without any difference. The old ABC listen app was simple, functional and worked well, it should never have been replaced.

Love this app
This is my most used media and podcasting app. It is the best. One bit of criticism if you could get it to stop playing old episodes after you finish the most recent one it’s really annoying and it’s hard to keep your place. But keep up the good work.

Crashing constantly - sadly unusable
The recent update is - quite frankly, upsetting! I used to listen live and later to the wonderful world of ABC audio daily… but no more, simply because the app crashes constantly. And often after only listening for about 10-20 seconds. Come on ABC techs - please fix this! (iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18.7.7).

Barely works
Ever since the major update this works about one out of fifty times. Live radio doesn’t work, podcasts either. The fact that I have to find alternatives is a joke! Fix it!
Just right
I just love the ‘Top Stories Briefing’ and the way the App just works. Set your favourites, you can easily find them and play them without fuss. The daily briefs play quickly, with minimal preamble and a good snapshot of the latest news. I appreciate that it continues to play the most recent briefs.
You’ve nailed it!
