## 2GB Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Dropouts"
Been using this app forever but it’s started to drop out after 3-4min and u can’t listen. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but does not fix the problem. Beyond frustrating guess it’s time for a new radio station
-- Alanq19ab, 2024-12-31

### *---- "Drop outs"
The app continually drops out.  Both on solid wifi and 5G.  This is the only radio app that I use that drops out all the time.  It’s beyond frustrating.
-- Whybother99, 2024-12-27

### *---- "Drops out"
Been using this app for a while it’s annoying that it keeps dropping out
-- NickjBarnes, 2024-12-16

### *---- "CarPlay broken again and feedback forms don’t work."
Guys, CarPlay was working for a while but once again it’s not logging again and unnecessary splash screens regularly show. 

I’d love to tell you this directly but your contact details on the AppStore and your website are broken. 

The objective should be to let people listen to the app. 

Also, it doesn’t launch from Spotify or Apple Music or other apps. Almost always need to touch the phone for intervention. 

Please fix these issues.
-- 7089 tau, 2024-11-24

### ***-- "Content failure or app failure?"
The hourly news bulletin hasn’t been updated for three days. Renders a key part of the app useless.
-- traindriverrev, 2024-11-22

### **--- "Flaky streaming"
App keeps restarting and playing advertisements before streaming the radio broadcast,  very annoying when listening to someone talking surely no need to play advertisement when app starts as they play ads during broadcast anyway
-- Jethro boy, 2024-10-14

### *---- "App unusable"
The app constantly crashes, usually within 20 seconds. In its current form it is unusable. Quality is good, just doesn’t work.
-- BenjiNSW, 2024-10-13

### *---- "Used to work well, now useless"
Was working well then 2 days ago keeps stopping after a few seconds. Have deleted it then reinstalled but keeps happening, totally unusable now.
-- Cibsy, 2024-10-08

### *---- "Crashing"
App is constantly crashing on iPad and phone
-- Obsidiansrealm, 2024-07-02

### *---- "App shutdown after about 30 mins"
App shutdowns after 30 mins
-- Smarty pants the origional, 2024-06-30

### **--- "App Not Working After Update"
Latest version I get an error, delete, reinstall keeps happening on my iPad, no issue on phone.

Error
Unexpected Error Occurred 
Apologies the app will close down
Please restart app

Signal 6 was raised
(Null)

I’ve done hard reset, deleted app, reinstalled etc
-- President Darkness, 2024-06-24

### *---- "Requires log in every time"
Every time i use the app it requires a log in which is incredibly frustrating when the majority of my use is in the car and requires me to pull over to log in. Otherwise app is great. I do miss the option of news updates that previous versions of this app used to have.
-- Yrtrgjvcxhbc, 2024-05-29

### *---- "Incompatible with CarPlay"
Does not work with Apple CarPlay. Despite 6 or 7 updates claiming to address this issue, it persists. Please allow 3rd party apps to  2GB back on until you can fix this mess.
-- Dan.Long, 2024-05-22

### ****- "Difficult in car experience"
Great app for listening to live radio whilst driving, however with Apple CarPlay I need to continually login via the phone to use. Which unless I remember to do before driving off means I have to pull over, park, get out and start the app on the phone the get back in, plug the phone back in and then drive off just to listen to live radio.
-- Newy Reviewer, 2024-04-30

### ***-- "New App"
Have been overseas many times the last few months. The app continues to be geoblocked. Seriously this is just an audio feed not video. So it forces listeners to use other radio apps. It makes no sense!
-- Paulthereader, 2024-04-26

### *---- "Dangerous for CarPlay"
I notice this issue has been raised several times without resolution but the need to pick up the phone and log in when you want to change to 2GB in the car is dangerous and counter productive.  I switch between 3AW, 2GB and 4BC so I have this frustration daily.
-- No ifs ands or buts, 2024-04-25

### *---- "Carplay Issues"
Since major update the app is frustrating to use in CarPlay. If I haven’t logged in on my phone, which is constant, the CarPlay won’t work. I also can’t do anything with CarPlay menu. I can’t listen to highlights or anything else, only the presenter on air.
-- OzFlyBoy, 2024-04-25

### *---- "App is regressing not improving"
Finally fixed the playback issue by reverting back to the version that makes you log on every time you try to use Carplay!

This is probably costing you ratings under the new ratings scheme
-- Bigtree0401, 2024-04-18

### *---- "Still won’t play?"
I have no playback and a continual spinning wheel of doom… I have the latest iPhone so the app has obviously not been fixed. Please address the playback issues. Thanks.
-- B-r4d-87, 2024-04-14

### *---- "No longer works for me"
App won’t stay open. Just minimises after being opened. Just happened after the last update. My iPhone 6 has IOS 12.5.7. Have had to resort to listening via safari browser. Not good enough 2GB.
-- Radarjeff, 2024-04-03
