Global Player Radio & Podcasts - Latest Quality Issues
Android

App keeps crashing of late when listening LBC on live radio feature. It displays a message that says 'Chromecast disconnected, radio replay now available'. Needs fixing or the additional features offered by using this app over other radio apps are pointless.

From Australia. Drops out every couple of minutes and then gets going again. Bit of a pain.

The App freezes everytime I use it after a certain amount of time, constantly buffering. I try to close the app, but it seems to freeze my whole phone.

Radio x listener
Great set of radio stations sadly let down by a terrible app. It play the radio reasonably well, but if you skip songs or come away from “live” it's terrible and really needs fixing, I had the radio x app before this and that was exactly the same 30 seconds into the 2nd or 3 rd song and it crashes

I had to delete this app, it keeps losing the connection which is a shame as it has many good stations but it's just unusable. I'd expect something like this from a much smaller streaming app but for an organisation like global it's unacceptable.

There are constant glitches in play back when listening to live radio. Sometimes it resolves itself, sometimes the audio freezes, sometimes the player crashes completely.

I like the app, works well. I do think that you have to many selections to make to get what you need, when using with android auto.
