Not good. Ever since they forced elisteners into the Global app the listening experience has declined. The problem is with the app. It constantly stops. Really can't play more than 15- minutes without having to restart the app as it shuts down randomly. Maybe they should have worked the bugs out of the app before forcing everyone to migrate from the previous interface. Which worked just fine🤯

Claims it's lost connection or buffers every few minutes especially with capital radio,strange other apps like BBC sounds seems to not have this issue and I'm using the same internet,in the same location etc!! Update - no I don't want to talk to you, just fix your app so radio doesn't buffer/stop every few minutes it's been months/years with this issue come on fix it already!!!

I really really want this app to work. It's the only proper alternative to the Absolute Radio app but it constantly crashes to the point where it's unlistenable. I can see that for every review that says this (and there are a LOT) the reply is to email in but they can see there are issues so not sure why they're not fixing it
