## SBS Audio Reviews in Australia

### *---- "Utterly Useless."
Don’t bother. It will drive you insane with the constant streaming issues (not internet related). The absolute worst app I have ever downloaded.
-- Innersignum, 2024-07-04

### *---- "No dark mode and barely works for audio, so unreliable"
Seriously I use this at night the light keeps me awake

Often I have to reboot the app to make it play. Even then it can take up to ten minutes worst case to make it start playing. Then if you pause it, it will often reset to the beginning of the track.
-- KarateKid430, 2024-07-02

### *---- "Full of bugs"
Doesn’t even allow me to pause a recording and continue from where I paused it.  Full of bugs.  Can’t believe taxpayers are funding this app.  Please fix it as soon as possible.
-- Gtrainwoo, 2024-06-02

### ***-- "Great but an issue"
Love listening to the podcasts but pausing and resuming is an issue. Every time I pause it will restart from the beginning it’s a little annoying.
-- a name by any other, 2024-05-22

### *---- "You get what you pay for.."
This app is problematic if you want to listen over a Bluetooth speaker. I can listen to SBS Chill on my phone, but as soon as I want to play it over a bluetooth speaker connected to my phone, the app stops, and 9 out of 10 times, it can't be restarted.

Absolute junk..
-- Muzzaahhh, 2024-05-02

### ***-- "Battery draining"
I love to listen to SBS Chill as I work. However after starting to use the app on my phone rather than the TV (when not working from home) I noticed that it drains the phone battery very quickly.
-- Janie304, 2024-01-15

### ***-- "Easy French not so easy"
Great resource, but I found the Easy French above my level of easy. I do listen to audiobooks in French and I find I can keep up if (a) I know the story and (b) I can slow the speech down to 0.7 or 0.8, depending on the speaker. If you could add that option, I’d be willing to give it another go.
-- vetti, 2023-12-23

### ***** "Love SBS chill"
The best music. Please please keep it ad free.
-- Yo yo yo 2, 2023-10-04

### ***-- "Getting there!"
CarPlay compatibility, please
-- JacktheDoc, 2023-08-09

### **--- "Looses connection frequently"
Lucky to get 20 minutes without needing to fiddle , doesn’t seem any different with wi-fi or mobile data, car or external speaker. Doesn’t do it with *potify so I think its the app
-- Barry is the cougar, 2023-05-20

### ****- "Draining my battery"
Hi, I absolutely love listening to SBS chill & have done this for years while I’m working- I find the music selection to be fantastic & really enjoy it! My only negative is lately it’s been noticeably draining my phone battery. I’ve tried it on 2 different phones to make sure it’s not just the handset & both are draining faster while listening. Not sure if it’s due to the updated graphics, but thought I’d mention it, as it’s sadly causing me to use it less. 
If this could be looked into, that’d be awesome!
-- HipHipOoray, 2023-03-05

### ***-- "Not bad, few improvements required"
Great tunes, but for the love of God; add dark mode! My eyes burn at night. Bonus would be carplay
-- illuminatedc, 2023-03-04

### *---- "update V 4.6.4"
after updating V4.6.4 on an iPhone (ios 12.1.4) , icon still exists but unable to open app - only a white blank screen flashing on/off - restart iphone makes no difference ???
-- HN2023, 2023-02-22

### *---- "Ridiculous!"
Worst app ever. Deliberately switches itself off so they can re-advertise on startup again. Ten, fifteen times a day at least… If there was any other option I’d recommend taking it.
-- JohnnyHunt, 2023-02-16

### *---- "Fairfield NSW 2165"
This app Doesn’t work With iPhone after The update
-- aljajjoka, 2023-02-09

### *---- "Latest version not working on iPhone 6S"
The app doesn’t launch after latest update
-- iphone 6S problems, 2023-02-08

### **--- "Constant cutting out"
Love listening to SBS chill via the app, but it takes 2-3 goes for it to start streaming (with and without wifi connection). It also only plays for approx 10 minutes before it stops, so I have to go back into the app and start again. PLEASE look into fixing app performance!!!
-- Lizzy137, 2023-02-08

### *---- "Used to be great"
This app used to be great. Now if you want to use the app to stream the radio you get a minute of adds - if you pause and restart more adds. I understand this for replaying but when streaming the radio it should be the same experience - please stop the adds.
-- mike646677578647, 2022-10-07

### *---- "Get rid of the ads"
Sbs now playing 1 F’ing ad over and over. Ruins the app and experience.
-- jdjdjoale djcndkek, 2022-08-22

### *---- "Music"
Was great music now tired and crappy
-- bigmolecock, 2022-08-21
