User Reviews

Users appreciate OTB's high-quality sports content but express strong dissatisfaction with the app's poor usability, frequent crashes, and buggy playback. Subscription and login problems, coupled with inadequate customer support, frustrate paying users. The interface is non-intuitive, and essential features are missing, leading many to consider alternative podcast platforms despite the content's value.

Pros

High-quality and enjoyable content, particularly the Off The Ball (OTB) sports coverage.
The app offers exclusive content that attracts paying subscribers.
Provides a range of sports podcasts including GAA, rugby, and NFL content.

Cons

App frequently crashes and has stability issues, especially during podcast playback.
Poor user interface (UI) and user experience; difficult to find and manage podcasts or downloads.
Playback controls are problematic: episodes often reset, skip unexpectedly, or cannot fast forward/rewind properly.
Login and subscription recognition issues; app sometimes fails to acknowledge paid subscriptions, with poor customer support.
Lack of expected features such as sleep timers, video content, and cross-platform access.
Audio cuts out frequently, and app performance is inferior compared to other podcast apps.

Recent reviews

Really poor app with no improvements in more than a year. It skips from OTB to 98fm for no reason when playing radio. The podcasts have no time out or sleep function and run into each other. You subscribe to not have adds but get stuck with disproportionately loud "go loud" adds. It'd a shame you pay for OTB and get a far worse service than when it was free. I emailed Bauer and they say there's no plans to fix the problems highlighted....

Usability is very bad, the UI is very bad and the experience of using the app itself is very bad. *Major Edit* The price for access to these repetitive, biased and bafflingly political - except the GAA content - podcasts is awful. There is nothing even remotely acceptable about this platform. Free episodes disappear after exiting, which sometimes happens when the app shuts down for no apparent reason. No video. No cross-platform...I have not paid for this for months now and suggest no-one does.
