Would be good if it kept playing when your screen lock kicks in. Sorry but I can't keep swiping to unlock my screen every minute so the app keeps playing. Did it on my old phone and does it on the new one too, so it's the app. Also app does not die when you close all apps. Weird design overall

Constantly throughs you out the app and you have to sign back in again. It jumps on and off all the time. You would think a huge radio station like this would have the money to fix these issues. Ridiculous.

Used to be good, but since the update it's rubbish. Keeps stopping and I have to unlock my phone and hit okay again for it to work, not possible when I'm driving! Also the old app showed the songs that had just played and I can't find this on the new app. I have a hearing impairment and so usually miss the artist and song title as they are unfamiliar words. I used to use the app to help me with this, I could look up what had just played and know which song it was I liked.

Update June 2021 - yet another attempt at an install, because the app still drops out when listening, and once it's started it keeps on happening. This has been going on too long. Last attempt - time to find another radio station. Update May 2021 - constantly drops out. Several times per half hour listening session. Trying a reinstall.

Latest update, apart from providing catch up, is less use than the last version. No info on what is playing, and you only get a truncated version of the programme info with no way of accessing the full version. Still plays OK though, you just don't know what's happening. I feel bereft...

Hi, last version was amazing for reception. You had a delay built into it, so it was continuously 30 seconds behind, everytime signal dropped, it would carry on playing the 30 seconds of memory, in the mean time hopefully you have signal again and it would seamlessly carry on. It was amazing, and probably unnoticed by many, the new app doesn't have this, so you are losing signal all the time. when app firsts loads, click"play" no visual response, so click again, and it stops

I have used this app for ages, it has always worked without issue. I mainly use it on my phone to stream in my old car via a bluetooth receiver and it works very well. Happy to recommend it 👍 04/05/21 I'm still very happy with the app but I would like one feature added if possible please... as the radio is being received via digital signal, could you add a "what's playing now" screen or section. This could also link to artist info, latest releases, purchase & streaming options etc. 😀

Good app, does what it says on the tin. The only thing I wish is that it was compatible with Android auto and Google voice commands.

Poor. Keeps asking me to sign in. When I get password wrong they don't send the email. App going and back to Absolute radio for me.
