User Reviews

Users appreciate ZEIT AUDIO for its professionally narrated articles, clear interface, and offline playback capabilities. However, multiple reports highlight significant issues with app stability, frequent crashes, and playback reliability problems such as lost resume positions and delayed article changes. Loading new content can be slow, and the app occasionally reorders articles unexpectedly, frustrating users. There is also a desire for better device integration and enhanced media player features to improve usability and listening experience.

Pros

Professionally spoken articles with high-quality content from Die Zeit.
Minimalistic and clear user interface with an easily navigable selection of articles per issue.
Ability to download audio files for offline listening.
Offers a wide variety of content including news, science, and general information.
App is easy and intuitive to use for listening to newspaper articles.

Cons

App frequently crashes and has stability issues.
Playback problems such as loss of resume position, unexpected skipping to other articles, and intermittent pausing/play issues when app is in background.
Long loading times for new issues and failure to continue playback seamlessly after interruptions.
Audio playback progress sometimes not saved or resets, causing users to lose place in articles.
Lack of integration with external devices (e.g., Google Home, Sonos) and absence of useful features like Google Auto integration.

Schrecklich unfähige Umsetzung mit eigentlich guten Inhalten. Ständig ist der Stand weg, die Folge ändert sich mit mehreren Sekunden Verzögerung...

Diese App kollabiert ständig. Leider vergisst sie auch dauernd, welchen Artikel man zuletzt gehört hat. Schade! Eigentlich der ZEIT gänzlich unwürdig!
