Keeps stopping streaming on cellular and wifi after 5-10 mins of use. Please fix--- update 25/4/26 nothing has changed. still stops every 5 mins. pointless using really
pauses every minute or so even for the adverts. Shame cos on dab in my car it never pauses!
Terrible App. Can't find out how to save Bookmarks. No way to set up audio through Bluetooth speakers, No HELP tab. Just TERRIBLE!
Rubbish, greedy, money grabbing fools. Want to listen to a station, £3.99, want to read help files,accept cookies or pay to remove them.
I turned on Absolute 80's in the can twice last week. It was the same playlist on both occasions
keeps failing
It asks you sign in, but I don't have an account and there's no option to register.
Terrible. Couldn't create an account. No options. Just to play a station. Badly developed
Hi, installed today and CAN NOT SIGN IN!!!! PAGE DOES NOT SCROLL!!!!! JUST NEED THE MUSIC PLEASE!!!!!! Thankyou.
Can't use it need to sign in but can't make an account bit stupid
top banana
Abysmal connection absolutely horrendous!!!!!
my life!!!! this app need attention. keeps stopping even on WiFi. both the app and the Web page will make you pick up your phone every 10-30 minutes. most frustrating experience. not a patch on traditional radio. love the content but can't stand touching my phone every 10mins.
Would occasionally use this app to listen to 60's, and nothing else, now that station is locked behind a paywall while others are still free, so renders it of no use to me as I don't use it often enough to justify paying for it, a shame
Keeps crashing 😞
Have to watch an advert before I listen to the radio, ridiculous!
Took my subscription but doesn't recognise the Premium account, and keeps trying to force you on to Rayo, which is extremely invasive in terms of privacy. Shame. I enjoyed Absolute Radio for a while.
Just tried to trick me into installing an alternative pdf app - that's not cool!
App does not support landscape mode.
it wont let me login at all
just adverts didn't get any music uninstalled after 5 mins
The app keeps cutting out for no apparent reason and then starting again after I take my mobile out of my pocket or jostle it, only for it to cut again after I put it back into the pocket. The app as been deleted and re-downloaded multiple times and is up to date.
really glitchy
Since when does the App start with a Temu ad?! Absolute jank is what it is!
Great app, not sure why they're promoting Rayo, which gets less than 2 star rating... Uninstalled this app, couldn't be bothered to disable all the parasites trying to gather information about you.
if I come out of it I can't get back on i think it gets stuck on a blank advert.
I've been using the app for couple of months now. The radio keeps cutting out every few minutes with no apparent reason.
Super buggy app. Crashes randomly when opening and seems more interested in showing me temu adverts than the stations. not given 1 star only because it eventually plays music I like.
Poor
the app has great choice and easy access. it likes to cut out on me though. I need to restart it every so often and suffer the ads. It is an irritation.
After closing the app, the music starts up after a few seconds.
