I usually listen to several shows on Newstalk like Pat Kenny and the Hard Shoulder and tried listening back to other shows in case the issue was specific to them but the listen back feature does not seem to work for any show. If it helps to know I have an iPhone with the latest iOS. ### 3/5 — Include a playback speed function *2023-10-01, version 8.3* Took me ages to actually get logged in and subscribed due to a technical error. Need the function to listen to shows at different 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.8x, 2x speeds. The app lost my history data with the last update. I’m paying just for the rugby on otb so expect as good an app as I was using before ### 2/5 — Really sporadic updates *2023-04-15, version 8.0.3* The app is ok. Kind of hard to navigate and can be pretty slow. My main complaint is the shows just don’t get updated half the time - it’s completely hit and miss if the episodes will be there. They then get updated multiple days later when they are totally out of date. Very frustrating, I’m not sure why it’s so sporadic. This used to be really consistent, it’s a fairly new issue that’s making the app pretty useless ### 2/5 — Content great delivery not so *2022-07-01, version 8.0.3* Audio levels are all 0ff , some podcast have to be listened with 90% volume far lower than others No landscape option on iPad only portrait very poor Content is fantastic however pity about overall app A few fixes could make this great ### 2/5 — It’s 2022 ! *2022-05-24, version 8.0* Could you work more on your app before launching it, please? It’s 2022. ### 4/5 — Go loud *2022-03-09, version 8.0* I’m finding it harder to navigate the new format. I listen to Hard shoulder and it keeps directing me to pod casts. I prefer to listen to the program in it’s entirety. The old my app was easier to access. I’m probably doing something wrong. I Love newstalk! ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-12-23, version 8.0* So much advertising and promotion for an app that doesn’t work- contacted customer service 4 times abs no reply- only live apps work and none of the others so- would stick with other streaming apps as this one is horrendous ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2021-11-19, version 7.2* App was working good until I updated my iPhone and now it won’t work on the listen back feature. Please get it fixed. ### 1/5 — Just ok *2021-10-05, version 7.2* Some parts of the app are not working ### 1/5 — Please fix!!!! *2021-09-20, version 7.2* Hasn’t worked on iOS 15, please fix!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Utter shyte *2024-09-07, version 8.5* Will only display podcasts. Has never heard of Today fm. Wobbles and drags when scrolling. Development budget of thruppence. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2024-08-07, version 8.5* So much advertising and promotion for an app that doesn’t work- contacted customer service 4 times abs no reply- only live apps work and none of the others so- would stick with other streaming apps as this one is horrendous ### 1/5 — Platform poor *2024-07-07, version 8.5* Paid to get podcasts but can’t speed them up, really poor format. ### 1/5 — Lads fix the app will you *2024-03-05, version 8.5* The interface regularly gets jumbled with icons overlaying other icons. It has been like this for months. Absurd that it still hasn’t been addressed. ### 1/5 — Terrible terribly poor app *2023-10-10, version 8.3* Account does not exist. Then account exits. Then can’t reset password. I’m off not worth the effort ### 1/5 — Never works *2023-08-29, version 8.0.3* Anytime I go to open app it dose not work please sort this out ### 1/5 — Only two stations work *2023-02-27, version 8.0.3* Using this from the UK and only today fm and Newstalk actually load nothing else does. Not sure why I registered and have been using it for a couple of years and still same problem. Please fix as otherwise I could give it 4-5 stars. ### 1/5 — Can’t open *2022-10-23, version 8.0.3* Really hoping for this app to be great. I live in America, but the problem is a lot of stuff will not open for me. I see the app has been updated and I still cannot open a lot of stuff is it because I am in America? ### 1/5 — Download *2022-05-25, version 8.0* The app will not open in flight mode making it useless for listening to your downloads ### 1/5 — So bad it’s unusable. *2022-01-17, version 8.0* This is the 2nd review I’ve written for this app. This time it’s for the new and updated app that was launched recently. It’s worse than the older app. The content regularly doesn’t play gets stuck in a loop of trying to load. The live content doesn’t ever load. The download functionality doesn’t work. The list goes on. It’s so bad I can’t believe this actually gets published. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-02-04, version 8.5* Great app, easy to use, I live in the UK and it’s great to keep up with Irish news ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-07-17, version 8.5* Easy to use ### 5/5 — Happy listening *2024-06-19, version 8.5* For those who enjoy listening to pat kenny and his associates in the Emerald Isle this too may be for you ### 5/5 — Good app for learning new cultures *2023-04-23* I’m so happy with this app it has been so good for me to learn about the Irish culture and how things are different from what we have made me want to read about new cultures ### 5/5 — Good app for learning new cultures *2023-02-05, version 8.0.3* I’m so happy with this app it has been so good for me to learn about the Irish culture and how things are different from what we have made me want to read about new cultures ### 5/5 — Love the app *2023-01-27, version 8.0.3* Really good easy operation app and just great general service ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-06-01* Great app, easy to use, I live in the UK and it’s great to keep up with Irish news ### 5/5 — Listening From NYC *2021-09-16, version 7.2* I’m American but am in Ireland a lot visiting friends.
