### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-02-01, version 8.5*

Worst app ever regular bugs kicks you out if you’re lucky enough to get in

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-09-27*

Reset password but then isn’t recognized. Tried starting all over with new email - errored out.  Broken which is too bad

### 1/5 — Can’t download?

*2023-12-19*

Site is badly managed …wouldn’t let me reset password…can’t download…rubbish

### 1/5 — Full of Ads

*2023-10-24, version 8.0.7*

I don’t mind ads but far too many to make this app usable. Long run of ads before you even begin listening to live radio. Unlistenable. Would prefer freemium options.

### 1/5 — Won’t download.

*2022-11-07*

Poorly managed.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t play ANY Listen Back options.

*2021-11-16*

What happened to this app? For the past couple of weeks it refuses to play any of the Listen Back shows. It will only allow the Listen Live option. Are you going to fix this?

### 1/5 — Poor app, great content

*2021-11-12*

The previous app was really good. Breaking up shows like off the ball into singular pieces is much worse especially when it’s so hard to navigate around d the app and it isn’t updated regularly. It used to be much easier to use.

### 1/5 — Keep getting locked out

*2021-04-27*

Constant password issues such nce switching to iphone.  Told password invalid, get reset link, successfully reset password in browser, and sure as a bear craps in the woods, the app still won’t log me in.  Uninstalled, reinstalled, nothing works.  

I’ve even created a new account and that was working for a bit, but the app just now logged me out and asked me to log back in.... boom, same issue.  I’m done.  Bye bye Shane, Shane, Ciara, Pat, Andrea, etc.  going to kiss y’all but app hassle isn’t worth it.

### 1/5 — Absolute rubbish!

*2019-10-22, version 7.1.4*

My First review if any App ever and disappointing it has to be negative, but what the hell has gone wrong? Giving up on listening to Newstalk because of this. Will pick up some of the great Podcasts separately, but questions must be asked if your App developers....Ugggh!

### 1/5 — Developers should be ashamed of themselves

*2019-10-19, version 7.1.4*

Without a doubt, the worse App that I’ve ever used.  Hangs every time opened, requiring deletion and re-downloading.  “Buttons” don’t match location on screen - an attempt to go back 15 seconds results, invariably, in a message about downloading the show.  How was this rubbish ever released on to the market?  Every time Pat Kenny mentions the App, @ the end of his show, a wry smile comes across my face, knowing that I’ll now have to delete and re-download prior to catching up on his subsequent show.
