Despite significant upgrades, this app still has problems. I can now subscribe to podcasts, which is nice, but auto-download doesn't work. Also, the app doesn't work with Android Auto, so I can no longer listen in my car. That's a huge negative, since that's where I do most of my podcast/radio listening.

Very buggy, frequent issues with playback and skipping. Especially when listening live and reverting to the start of the show then the skip forwards back and using the time bar does not change the audio and position. This is the only way to listen to many of global stations in the car outside of London if you don't have dab. Also a huge background battery drain, even hours after not using. They should also stick a news tab in there for reading the news rather than needing to use their website.

Global Player was already bad, constantly crashing, unable to skip back or ahead again during live broadcast, but the latest update has completely shot the app to bits, it will not load, I get 30 second snippets of radio then nothing again for minutes, alreadt un- and re-installed the app, nothing. Also won't work on the laptop either. Worst radio app ever!
