However all of the presenters constantly interrupt their guests and talk over them when it’s the guests opinions and views we want to hear. More listening and less interruptions please. ### 2/5 — Update causing constant logging out? *2026-06-15, version 55.8.0* Was a 5* review prior to whatever update it is that’s caused my account to log out every single time I close the app. I only use it on my iPhone - not multiple devices and every single time I have to re log in. Inconvenient more than anything. Would easily go back to 5* after this is fixed. ### 2/5 — Sign in every time 🙄 *2026-06-09, version 55.7.1* Since a recent update I have to go through a sign in every day. ### 2/5 — Picture in picture *2026-05-22, version 55.7.0* Why no picture in picture? ### 2/5 — It used to be great 😔. Now it’s just ok and only on certain days *2026-04-13, version 55.4.1* When you had the proper talk tv app it was awesome. We could watch back different episodes, there was a greater variety of hosts, no weekend sports to contend with. Having to use YouTube also complicates things for an IT Luddite like myself. Weekends are next to useless especially when I’m in the car and can only hear the sports side of things. It’s such a shame because you do have such a good take on politics and culture, but please re-look at how you format the programming to make it easier for us to watch. ### 5/5 — Pretty good. *2026-04-10, version 55.4.1* PLEASE get rid of that annoying person on from 10 pm to 1 am on Thursday and Friday-Andre somebody? Give both slots to the excellent Petrie, who already covers Monday to Wednesday. Also, getting a full screen picture is now rather hit and miss. However, I greatly enjoy listening to Jezza, Julia, Alex, Ian and Kevin. Very stimulating and sometimes laugh out loud. ### 5/5 — James Henry HOLMES *2026-04-01, version 55.4.0* Flag Man is a true patriot he is helpful, supportive and generous. Passionate about saving our Country, a great Father and Husband he has gone out on a limb to promote our National Flag and to rid us of the woke left wallies. He has self funded us trying to build a patriotic foundation through our flags which bind us together as a nation, our Sports people, our Armed Forces and our Football Team. ### 5/5 — The Truth *2026-03-24, version 55.3.0* They tell the police what the Government does not what us to know ### 5/5 — Moved from LBC *2026-03-19, version 55.3.0* I used to listen to LBC everyday, and it’s gone very woke and to pot, talk tv are real honest opinions and real problems our country are facing, love how direct they are! My fav radio station! ### 5/5 — Presenters. . . *2026-03-10, version 55.3.0* We were going to put together a list of our favourite presenters, but each and everyone of the presenters on TalkTv are absolutely brilliant, Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stop messing about with the app! *2026-07-10, version 55.2.5* It was fine, now it’s not. I don’t want to upgrade my phone or iPad. Just leave things be! I don’t listen as much as I would like as I have to do it on YouTube and that flattens my battery as well as being the worlds most annoying advert riddled platform ever! ### 1/5 — Ableist discriminating comments *2026-07-10, version 55.8.1* So many of your presenters and guests have ableist discriminatory comments about autism like ‘lots of people who have autism and there’s nothing wrong with them’ It’s disgusting. It’s a lifelong disability due to different brain wiring. I was a long time listener but it’s disgusting to listen to this rhetoric. Perhaps go spend some time with an autism charity and get some insight. ### 1/5 — Not Good *2026-07-08, version 55.8.1* I have an older iPad. Nothing wrong with it. I have no reason to change it. iOS is 15.8.8 - but the Talk app requires at least iOS17. A version of Talk should be available for all devices. Even older ones. ### 1/5 — Lost a listener *2026-07-01, version 55.8.1* I use to listen daily, day and night. Will no longer be listening due to having to register to listen ### 1/5 — App U/S *2026-06-18, version 55.7.1* App no longer works !!! ### 1/5 — Registration *2026-06-17, version 55.8.0* More personal data to give up for this app. Country is mad. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-06-16, version 55.8.0* If this app logs me out one more time I am going to permanently delete it. It’s bad enough they have forced users to register in the first place. ### 1/5 — Log in every time you use the app *2026-06-12, version 55.7.1* For the last week I have had to log in to the app every time I open it. Deleted and re loaded app but same . Very annoying so one star. ### 1/5 — Compulsory Registration - No Thanks *2026-06-11, version 55.7.1* You silly people have just added compulsory registration to your app access. I have just removed your app, it’s as simple as that. On your shows you harp on about government authoritarianism, yet you practice it yourself. You already have dwindling listener figures due to you disinvesting in the ramped up Talk TV from a few years ago. Murdoch and co., get real. ### 1/5 — Great channel, awful app. *2026-05-26, version 55.7.0* Unusable on iPad. A new ‘uPdAtE’ has automatically started the radio playing, so when you select watch you get two audios playing out of sync. Give me strength. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — RobinJ Grimsby , Lincolnshire *2026-08-21, version 55.8.1* Superior Quality Station & Team ### 5/5 — Talk *2026-08-18, version 55.8.1* Love Kevin ### 5/5 — Brilliant channel *2026-08-04, version 55.8.1* It’s the only channel to get common sense and TALK reports as it is and not what the main structures want u to hear … one complaint I have is why it is not on longer - reduced listening of a weekend and during the night - it’s very very good ‼️ ### 5/5 — Watching *2026-07-14, version 55.8.1* Watching in Ko Chang Thailand Great show. ### 5/5 — Brilliant Radio Station *2026-06-09, version 55.7.1* Sensible presenters speaking like the everyday people! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-05-27, version 55.7.0* Talk is a great news channel shame it got taken of the tv but when you speak the truth it hurts ### 5/5 — The peoples view *2026-05-25, version 55.7.0* Great channel who listens to the people’s view ### 5/5 — Just love Talk! *2026-05-12, version 55.6.1* Talk radio kept me sane during Covid. I just love Julia & Co, they all bring sanity to the dreadful state our country finds its self in. I listen every day… it is the only news station l can believe. Brilliant journalism!! ### 5/5 — DM *2026-04-12, version 55.4.1* Love Talk and all of its presenters ### 5/5 — Talk is just that *2026-04-10, version 55.4.1* It is talking, debating, thinking this, way that way, then enables thé unravelling of the mind. This mind can be changed, when listening to other people’s thoughts..seeing the world from another’s viewpoint Listen.
