Ratings & Reviews
It would be awesome if you didn’t have to wait till the end of the show to play the play again feature,which I love by the way and use all the time if I miss a show but it is a bit of a pain that I have to wait till half an hour after the show has finished.
Can’t speak highly enough of TalkSport, it gives you all you need as an avid sports fan. Live coverage- expert punditry - thoughtful incisive discussions and there is still room in the schedule for plenty of entertaining and funny moments. It’s my go to channel that gets me through the rigours of the day and night. Thank you TalkSport!
I like the station (other than the constant barrage of betting adverts!) and the app which I use daily. But latest update a few days ago have made it a battery killer if you don’t close it completely. Today forgot to close it and it used 30% more battery than it normally does according to my iPhone 14 Pro Max! Please sort it!
I just want to listen to the radio. I don’t want to give my email address (why - other than to pester me with emails and target me with ads). And then getting asked multiple questions about what team I support, which sports I like etc. I know they’ll answer that they’re trying to “tailor the app to my needs” but I don’t really want to get involved in all of that. Just listen to the radio.
Great show listen when ever I'm in my car. That includes going out to my car to catch something I knows on. But this app is very poor almost like a child has set it up. Interactive story's like talking about social media between fans or pictures of club transfers don't work ? Why show them on the app if they don't work !! After last couple of updates it takes an age to load the app up if it loads at all and then when listening to the show on the app it drops out and reloads more times than I care to mention which is a lot !!! Please sort it this app could be as great as the show if you had adults not children making and running it !!!!! Just shows they ain't bothered though no one reads these comments !!! if they did it would be fixed !!!New update is a great start at fixing it but just wish it would play when phone locks. App plays really good. But as soon as your phone times out it stops. You have to keep opening phone to listen. Not good when your trying to sleep. Please fix.
Downloaded latest version (august2019) and the app is now useless. It doesn’t work in the background anymore, so stops playing if I switch to a fitness app, or if TomTom is on in the car. Also, when the phone locks, the app stops working. Used to be excellent, is now useless. Please fix it.I should point out, that it may actually be a change to IOS 12.4 which has caused the issue, in which case can you please make it play nicely with the latest version.Ps. Would rather not leave a review for this as it should just be an app support ticket, but the app support link here takes you through to the general talkSPORT list of contacts.. none of which appear to be relèvent for app support.
Hi there, I’ll try and keep this as brief as I can. I’m totally blind I have the latest version of iOS with my iPhone 8 with voice-over. You cannot navigate this app easily at all. I don’t know what you have done to this app but at one point you could simply flick the screen from left to right as voice-over would speak to you and tell you what is on the screen now none of this works. Please try and fix this as I’ll probably uninstall the app at some point soon. Before I coul simply double tap on the name of the station so for example it would say talkSPORT and then you would flick wants to the write it would say button I would double tap this and it would start playing double tap it again it would stop but as a voice-over user I can no longer do this. Perhaps you’re not aware of this but it’s bloody frustrating!! Hope you manage to sort this out thanks a lot. Cheers
Developer ResponseHi Sajid79, thanks for your comment, we appreciate how frustrating this is. We'll be looking into these accessibility issues over the next few weeks. Thanks.
Well I've had two iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 5 and 5s. Always ran current updates on ts app and iOS. My current wifi at home is super infinity bt with 40mbps. And both my iPhone 5's on EE, the fastest 4g network. Now with all that I should have super quality coverage. Well I don't it utter crap and always have been. Constantly cuts out drops off when playing radio. Extremely annoying when all you want to do is play the radio, other radio apps are fine so why not this one. I don't bother with the app itself as far as reading headlines because yet again another poor show. "Press here for the video" etc, press where exactly there is nothing there to press. Or maybe you want us to read comments or add comments which aren't there either.A real poor app considering how good the radio itself is. It's been like this for years and on all my phones so I know it's the developers and nothing to do with internet access. Deleted
Loved the talksport app to get great football commentary but then few days ago you did an update and now every time I try to open it just immediately crashes. I’m using iPhone on iOS 14.0.1 so should be fine but it’s not. I’ve uninstalled , restarted phone, reinstalled app but stil the samenthing. I click app , it opens then immediately disappears. So what’s going on, what have you done .———/////So now you send me a link to put the error details in and the link doesn’t work Seriously guys???——————And now days later you haven’t bothered to sort your mess out. All these other people on here with issues and you do nothing. I’m now binning the app for good like I imagine a lot of others will do. Hope your bosses know what a pigs ear you are making of this. I’m out. So—- Gave it a while and thought I’d try again. Downloaded to 2 devices. App crashes on both immediately on opening, my dear old mum is the least tech savvy person I know. I reckon she’s secretly taken up the job of running this app. There is now no one giving you a good review anymore. But you do diddly squat to sort it.——-So some months later and with new phone I reinstalled. And guess what? It still crashes immediately on opening. So I assume it doesn’t work with any iPhones at all. You say you’ve ironed out irritating bugs in latest version but you haven’t. You have taken what was a pretty decent functioning app and by your “developers” messing around with you have made it a joke app that doesn’t work at all for at least half smart phone users. And the ones it does work for - I assume non iPhone users all complain that it constantly logs them out.
Developer ResponseHi 'Steviefive,' thanks for your review. Please kindly fill out this form with as much detail as possible to help us to understand the issue and fix it - https://forms.gle/7kGbQMmvR47AYv3D9. Thanks.
They've finally fixed it folks! Updaters, Normal services can now be resumed!! Yessssss. Absolute Crap......With all your new stations and 24hr sport, etc etc!!You can't even support an FM frequency for road listeners in the capital. Worse still, your based in london and you could be on Stamford st se1 (100 yards away) & still can't get a clear reception. This station is letting down their fine presenters what we all know are the best around by a country mile. Have the managers ever been forced to listen to crystal clear LBC all day cos they can't get a clear reception on talkSports........... Thought Not!!!👹👺
