Triggering headlines on app
I’m a Mamamia Out Loud lover and subscriber so liked to use the app to check on podcasts. However the app itself opens onto their news page which always has intense personal stories about serious harms to women and children. I’ve tried changing the settings to show entertainment up front but there isn’t that option. I care about these issues deeply but seeing them everyday causes me anxiety so I’ve had to delete the app and now just listening to the podcast directly in the Apple Podcasts app.

Needs TLC
My main use for this app is pods on the phone, sadly the former app was far more user friendly and less buggy. The new interface makes it confusing to see where my shows and episodes are. Would love to revert back to the grid where show icons were smaller but easier to find at a glance. Episodes will often replay from the start if you exit the app and go back in which is kind of frustrating too. I prefer to use my desktop if reading articles or looking at the other Mamamia content so I can’t really speak to those feature features on the app. I really enjoy Mamamia but sadly the app is a bit of a letdown.

Tech Issues
I have had ongoing tech issues with the app. The content often does not load so you cannot listen. I have contacted the Mamamia team about this but the issue keeps reoccurring. The app will also often not save where you listened to in a podcast making it hard to find where you finished.
Spinning wheel of doom
The settings won’t load. The spinning wheel of doom stays on the screen until I force close the app. I can’t access any settings. Very frustrating
Love the pods….not the app
Sadly, the recent app overhaul has been pretty disappointing. Interface aside, every time I go to Podcasts and tap on a show the app crashes and my phone reverts to the home screen. I loved the previous version of the app as there were never glitches when listening to all the amazing podcasts Mamamia puts together. I have updated my phone updated the app and still it continues. Happy to try anything the app developer may suggest?
