User Reviews

Users praise ABC Listen for its broad content and high-quality journalism, along with a simple, easy-to-use interface and good news coverage. However, many reviews note reliability and integration problems, especially with Android Auto (blank screens, no items), frequent playback drops, Chromecast casting issues, weak search for past episodes, and occasional crashes after updates. The app delivers strong content when it runs smoothly but struggles with stability and some integrations.

Pros

Rich content including high-quality journalism and broad radio/podcast offerings
Keeps you updated with current news and affairs
Simple, solid, user-friendly app design
Broad content library spanning radio and podcasts

Cons

Android Auto compatibility issues (blank screen, no items, won’t start)
Frequent playback interruptions and pauses (stops live radio or playback)
Chromecast/casting support not working or unreliable
Poor search/findability for past episodes
Occasional instability/crashes after updates

Recent reviews

I really like this app but it does not work with android auto. I have to clear the cache for it to work, but obviously can't do this while driving. This is frustrating and results in me rarely using it.
