### 5/5 — STAY connected from US

*2026-07-04*

Love that I can stay connected with ireland through this app.

### 1/5 — It’s okay. But simple stuff they suck at.

*2026-05-01*

NO STARS, When it works, it needs to login every single time. And doesn’t save login or password info. The ads are annoying and start at the beginning of each play. So using CarPlay and taking calls etc, it restarts each time
 It’s very annoying
 It’s poorly executed. Even the staff admit it’s a problem. Keeps logging out daily now and even when in use!!!

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for your feedback! Please contact us at support@goloudnow.com so we can assist.

### 1/5 — Not available up north

*2026-03-13*

Very disappointing app. I’d tried before to use in north of Ireland and hoped that the “new” go loud app might work here now, but no. Poor service.

**Developer response:** Hi John, sorry to hear you are having issues with listening on our app.  Please reach out to us at support@goloudnow.com so we might help resolve this.

### 3/5 — Too many interruptions

*2026-01-07*

Too many times there have been unrelated adds interrupting the news or talk shows. Had to go back to the old todayFM app

### 1/5 — Hardly works

*2025-09-18*

This app hardly works. I’ll listen to a podcast and I’ll go to rewind or fast forward (which by the way I do from the notification screen on iPhone because there isn’t a scrubber in the app) and it will close the app.

**Developer response:** Hi infectedpizzaguy, we're sorry to hear your experience hasn't been good. We have an update in the works which will hopefully resolve the issues you mention.

Our support team would love to find out more about any issues and help you resolve them. If you would like to get in touch with us at support@goloudnow.com we're ready to help

### 1/5 — Shambles . I will cancel my subscription due to it

*2025-05-22*

The old app was bad but manageable . I pay £90 a year to subscribe , they do not put things in overcast like all other podcast providers do . 

This new app is ridiculous . It does not recall you subscriptions , it suggests plenty of new podcasts . I don’t even want the suggestions & even if I did . I f I picked any to follow I would have to write it down on paper too as the next time I click in any podcasts I follow are gone .

It’s disgraceful . And a forced chance , emails were sent reassuring that it would not impact any experience we currently get .

That’s twaddle . It’s made it impossible . They need to fix it .  

Shocking shocking shocking , avoid this app at all costs. 

Unsubscribe if you have a monthly plant , that is my advice

**Developer response:** Hi Ciaran, we're sorry to hear your experience hasn't been good, that's not the kind of service we aim for. We have a fix ready for followed series not showing in the Library that is rolling out in the latest release that should be there for updating.

If you still have issues, our support team would love to find out more and help you resolve them and build a better app for everyone. If you would like to get in touch with us at support@goloudnow.com we're ready to help

### 2/5 — Awful app.. freezes, radio dosen’t play, silly UX

*2024-06-03*

Not fit for purpose, especially if you pay the subscription.. totally temperamental app. Basic features not included as well, sleep timer etc

### 1/5 — Great show, terrible app

*2024-03-06, version 8.5*

Recommend subscribing on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts - literally anywhere else but on the app it’s so bad.

### 2/5 — Awful App

*2023-09-20*

The App freezes on my iPad Pro, pretty much every time I use it. Very poor.

### 1/5 — Great show, terrible app

*2023-09-02*

Would leave to see the app developed to math the quality of the show but the app is awful, basic stuff like adding shows to the queue not working
