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.

Can't give no stars. Amazing how they can replace an app that works with one that's not useable. You're told some features will not work offline, but none do! You download a show or podcast, that you can't listen unless online. Can't use it on tube, bus in built up areas, a plane, a lift, or abroad without using your data. Can't use it in my office! Only way to get round this is to use the app purely for download, then one that works for playback Surely something this bad is by design

Horrible, horrible, horrible. The original Classic FM app was - more or less - OK but the Global Player is loaded with - for me at least - irrelevant and unwanted content. It has become a hideous piece of shovelware. I don't want the relentless popovers telling me about new and "exciting" features, podcasts and "personalised experiences". They ain't exciting or wanted. Please at least let me have a clean home screen with the endless dross confined to a separate page.
