Student
Love ‘d it All’s
Harsh I know, but it’s almost unusable
The app and music I love, however, the music feeds on classic fm stop and start constantly. Almost Unusable. I tried the classic fm feeds on Apple Music too and they do the same. Please sort it out, the music is wonderful!! It’s the app that is rubbish.
Music stops when app is in the background
If this was fixed, I would give five stars. Media plays for a while and then stops when app is in the background… fix this immediately
lost functionality
Last update has lost ability to pause, restart and generally shift around live radio, why?
Rhode Island USA?
Love that I can listen to WSQK the squawk for now but I unfortunately can’t listen to any local stations I was hoping since it was global that I’d get Rhode Island stations as well
Great App
Great News and Entertainment App
It’s not working
Crashes as you open it
Can’t see capital dance schedule
Now fixed
Personal data
Wanted to listen to the radio and before I can do that I have to sign up and give away my name, postcode, DOB and more. It’s a radio station! Why aren’t most of these optional?
Opens Apple TV
When you AirPlay to Apple TV it again turns on the TV and starts playing a live podcast instead of just the station. All I want to do is AirPlay the radio / music to my HomePod speakers.
Capital radio I like to listen to
And my favourite DJ is Sam lavery from capital radio the capital weekender
Crashing
App crashes every time I try opening it on the latest iPhone update. Annoying
Love it, but some quick little quivels i have
I actually really like this app, its filled with good radio stations but i have some ideas. Idk how the live playlists work but when you go into the “my” section, some don’t work (heart turn up the summer), if you’re too negative they stop as a whole and you can’t rectify it, some also dont update. I’d also recommend maybe making audience testing a bit more accessible, i know its sent out to some people but if you really want a wider scope of what people want to hear, it would be nicer if it was accessible in app. Besides that i think this is genuinely a solid app
Help
It won’t even let me create an account I get to where it ask for your birthday and it says it’s not a valid birthday so I can’t get any farther than that.
Misleading
Global Player that only really plays uk stations. Many other countries and stations globally. It’s really my fault though for not reading the description properly.
Banging
Love every minute of
Doesn’t work
After recent update will not open or load
Apple TV version is not working
When I try to open the app in Apple TV, I am getting a blank screen. The app works fine on my iPhone. I have uploaded my Apple TV to the latest operating system. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. No change. I have tried to get the app to work on two different Apple TV's in my house. Any suggestions?
Replay function doesn’t work
The replay function no longer works. I just get an error message 9 times out of 10 when I try to restart a program. Very disappointing 👎
Needs regular updates
I’m in Canada and the app constantly crashes, very frustrating. Great if it didn’t crash all the time. I’ve even been to Apple to get my phone checked, nothing wrong with it so must be the app.
Winning
Get choice of music all day long
Awful
You click on to app and it cuts out on you. Not good at all
Lost Apple watch App 😡
I was able to access & control Global App from my Apple Watch. No more. This is either an Apple issue of 26.01 or the Global app ?
Continue Listening Section Does Not Remove Finished Podcast Episodes
Love this app and the variety of music available. But it’s seriously annoying that when you finish listening to a podcast it stays in the Continue Listening section forever. This did not used to happen. Please fix this.
Good app but…
Got a lot going for it but catchup could be an easier road to traverse, same for the podcasts. Have to go through various screens every time. But hey, it’s free.
Sets my night
Love the mix - I know all the words and it reminds me how cool I was in the early 90s. I look great at 59 but the mix from Smooth on a Friday makes me FEEL young (Botox and fillers don’t do that) 🤣
Very Poor
Downloaded app but requires registration which just hangs during set up, useless!
Great app for different genres of music.
A little repetitive.
No Carplay?
If you are going to make podcasts exclusive to the app, surely make them accessible to listen to in Carplay?
Apple Watch support?
Great app but could we get support to play the podcasts on Apple Watch? Now podcasts are only available on global player I can no longer listen on my runs :-(
Blooming Love It !!!!
Listen to Heart Cornwall every day Love weekends Mark and Ollys must! Top 40 Club Music Weekdays with Jamie and Amanda and my fave gal I met at O2 Vicki I just love her!!!love all the competitions and hoping one day to be a WINNER IN CORNWALL Keep playing all the BANGERS!!! From an old gal Oh and thanks for always playing my boys BLUE 1 Mahoosive fan😁
Crashes
Recent update won't even open the app
Hopeful
I’m new to this & this app. I’m hoping that you may play some 1950s & 1960s music, also. I’m a Jim Reeves fan, but also of many other instrumentalists and vocalists.
Carplay problems
Not working well in Carplay. It doesn’t open from the car screen. You need to open first in your iPhone and then you can listen to music…
No instala
Esta actualización no se instala en iPhone ni en iPad.
Heart seventies
Always a pleasure to listen to this station,but there are more songs in the 70s than they play,it would be nice to listen to the rubettes,mud,showaddywaddy,sweet,hawkwind, Dianna ross,david,soul,david essex david cassidy,the osmonds etc,please play more !!!
Getting asked question about allowing global to use activity hitting next and not working
App crashed
Sound Quality
The audio processing is to midrange.Switching it over to HD makes no difference.BBC sound quality is so much better.
Password reset?
I don’t want this app harvesting my data from Facebook or twitter (sign in options), so am forced to use email and password. It doesn’t give any option to reset the password though. A bit pointless.
Not Available on Amazon Echo Devices Canada
Works fine in iOS devices, but unfortunately, this app is not available in Canada to work with Amazon Echo/Alexa devices. I’ve spoken to Amazon and they’re looking into it, but it seems there is no contact info for Global Player to notify them.
Classic4ever
Best classical station 5⭐️ Definitely R.C.
Keeps failing
I had to delete the app 4 times already. After a while, the screen goes black and I cannot use it. Quite frustrating!
Car Play issue with iOS 15
Screen of my car stays black, no functions available. Please fix, thx
Download failed
Streaming is great and the app layout is modern and intuitive. However, the download feature rarely works as I get the ‘download failed’ message.
I’ve found my station👍
Discovered smooth soul by accident Amazing music, my music, my new forever station Thanks👍👍
Why do we need to create an account just to use?
Just downloaded this app as it was advertised on one of the radio stations I normally listen to on another app. However the only way I can use it is to create an account. I really don’t want to hand over my personal information just to listen to the radio. Why would you need someone’s DOB anyway?
Great app, lovely content - where’s the bookmark?
As a global app user I want to bookmark a favourite podcasts So I can access them quickly and effortlessly **How else am I expected to consume years and years of Steve Allen content?
