User Reviews

Users broadly praise TalkSPORT for its football coverage and accessibility, especially for US listeners. However, recurring issues appear across reviews: the app crashes or force-closes, ads interrupt playback and cause buffering, login and challenge-question problems on launch, playback quirks where pausing or interruptions restart the program, and regional rights/schedule gaps that block or delay content in the US. These consistency problems mix with the strong content, making the app feel unreliable for many users.

Pros

Excellent football coverage and engaging presenters.
Widely used by fans abroad (US/UK) as their go-to TalkSPORT app.
Perceived as the best TalkSPORT companion app for news and programming.
Convenient mobile access for on-the-go listening.

Cons

Frequent crashes/force closes and instability (listening stops after short time).
Intrusive and repetitive ads disrupt playback and cause buffering, especially with patchy connections.
Sign-in/login problems at launch or after updates (challenge-question issues, white screen).
Playback issues: pausing/restoring or rewinding live content is not possible; app often restarts to the beginning after interruptions.
Regional rights and scheduling gaps in the US: some content blocked or outdated schedules.

Recent reviews

Constant issues with the app for years. Main problem is that if you listen to a show, pause it, for example at 15 minutes, then unpause it, you will always go back to 15 minutes after every other pause. You have to memorize where you’ve paused it.
