Huge James O'Brien fan, but this app is just terrible. I just changed over from iphone - and that app worked really well over bluetooth in my car. It allowed me to start and stop play from the car touch screen, and it would pick up where it left off if you got out of the car for a stop, or if you switched to the radio. This app doesn't do any of that, and you end up having to stop and fiddle around with the phone, trying to find the episode you were playing again, and then often have to restart it and try and find your place. Come on LBC - this is rubbish.
I am very disappointed by this app. The navigation of the app is unclear. You cannot control playback without unlocking the phone, so if driving you have to pull over and fiddle with the phone. It keeps losing its place on playback, it will still be playing but the timer reads 0 minutes throughout. It also crashes and you have to go into the app find what you were listening too, restart it and find where you were previously. All this I've discovered after having the app for one day.
This App is rubbish. If I try to download a show, and for some reason it doesn't work it won't let me try again. If I get a text alert our similar while listening it changes the volume of my podcast. If I try to fast forward to a point in a show it restarts the whole podcast. Many many many other problems. As a subscription payer I expect better. The content is superb, this App is a shoddy disgrace.
So great being able to hear LBC and James O Brian. However, as several other people have reported, this app frequently crashes. Additionally, often (actually, almost every time I use the app- seems to tally with when something else happens on phone, eg I have a power warning, or receive a message) the podcast goes extremely quiet and I struggle to hear it. Takes quite a faff to reload the podcast, with no guarantee of being able to hear it. Such a shame these glitches are not being addressed.
As others have said this is rubbish, simply doesn't work. I would happily subscribe it doesn't allow me to, you just end up in a mindless loop, simply dreadful. Quite how LBC have allowed such a disfunction app to hit the market place unfortunately speaks volumes about what they deem acceptable, a very poor show
Nick Abbott is great, this app is appalling, honestly could list 20 serious problems, basically everything, my latest issue is my username is not between 5 and 10 characters, it accepted a longer one and now won't let me change it, I need to change it to resubscribe, this is the second time it's done this, I've already had to set up another email to re register as only way to change username, now I have to make a third email to subscribe again. App just needs scrapping and started from scratch, awfully awfully terrible app, really quite a joke!
I reported this app to Google insisting they remove it from the play store. This is the only way I can see LBC actually noticing is android customers and fixing it's app. Register a complaint too as lbc just ignore the comments here and emails though their website
Dreadful. Was hoping to be able to leave my Ipod at home but this app is useless. Loses downloads and won't let you pull them down again. Volume goes down when any notification sounds and you have to restart it to get it to a decent level. Navigation is awful. Will be deleting it.
The app rarely works, absolutely abysmal, which is a shame because the content is good. It's obvious very little effort has been put into this app. I'm cancelling my subscription to LBC because there is just no point having it if you can't use it.
As all the reviews say, if download crashes you cannot try again. If a notification comes in; volume turns down. Tonight not working at all. Also volume of presenter's voice goes loud and quiet I suppose depending on how close they are yo the mic. Disturbing when listening late at night. Why haven't the issues raised been fixed? I pay enough for this app
The content is great, but I've recently switched from IPhone where the app worked great but on here it's awful. It's incredibly frustrating that as soon as Waze notifies me of a direction or I get a text or indeed any other notification the volume of this app drops by at least 50% meaning I can't hear it unless I turn my volume up to double what it was, meaning that Waze then deafens me. I won't renew my subscription unless this gets fixed!!!
Probably the worst app I have ever used. Navigation is tricky and switching off more so. You can't halt and start from the place you left. The web player is excellent so use that and keep the clutter off your phone.
Simply doesn't work. Cannot login to subscribe. Stuck in endless login loop. Lbc must be loosing millions in lost potential subscriptions.
Same issues as everyone else, volume dips whenever notification appears and doesn't return. Frequent crashes. Poor navigation, should be easy to reach play controls i.e. through notification area.
When registering it propagated my password into first and last name fields and crashed when clicking on presenters podcast. Needs a good look at before I'll bother using again. Great shame
Doesn't run in background very well... Editing out of adverts is rubbish (sounds like my old mix tapes from when I was 10) I don't think I'll be paying for another month
Possibly the worst app that I use regularly- podcasts cut out all the time, then you have to reload from the start and find where you are.
This app is broken. Everytime when I tried to play podcast, it crashed down with playing a single word.
Loved catching up with James O' Brian using this app. Now I can't even see any presenters. Something has broken big time. Reinstalled and still the same. Come on Global sort it out.
Awful. Buttons don't functon correctly. Account shows as in active. Can't believe people would pay for this.
Unable to pay for a subscription after countless attempts. Problems with the username field and will not let me proceed to payment.
I really like LBC and the podcasts. Unfortunately the app is one of the worst around. It crashes and closes often. If a download fails then you can't attempt to download the same podcast again for some reason. For a commercial organisation this app is very poor indeed. Update: App is now working again...
