User Reviews
Pros
- Content is up-to-date with strong presenters and a broad range of topics.
- Wide music selection and access to two Irish stations (Newstalk and Today FM).
- In-app podcast saving feature is available.
- New layout is a welcome change for some users.
- Option to subscribe to remove ads.
Cons
- Intrusive and excessive ads, including mid-podcast interruptions.
- Frequent login/account issues (signing in/out, could not retrieve user information).
- Registration and sign-up blocks (date of birth/gender requirements, forced signup).
- Poor navigation and a difficult-to-use search function.
- App sometimes won't load or crashes and throws errors.

Love newstalk but this app needs some technical work. Newstalk is owned by Bauer Media so they have the money to sort it. Biggest issue is app ads randomly coming in mid conversation or when internet drops/changes. Often when playing back podcasts the volume starts off low and then suddenly increases half way through. Search function is mostly unusable when trying to find a particular topic/podcast. Nice additions to have: -Ability to save podcasts in app. -Subscription based model to stop ad
