Love the app but wish I was able to increase the speed while listening to podcasts and audiobooks.

The ABC listen app stopped working on car play a couple of b moths ago. It just won’t load any of the pages. I’ve deleted and reloaded it several times (which is annoying). I select a radio station - nothing. Won’t play. I select programs I have downloaded. Nothing - just staying on “loading”. Lucky I can play some of the programs as podcasts. But a full days driving with no ABC is no good.

Since 9.23.0, it requires two taps instead of just one to play local radio station: tap on station and then tap play.

Dear ABC Listen Team, I’m writing to share some feedback regarding the ABC Listen app, which I use regularly and generally appreciate for its rich content and national coverage. However, I’ve encountered a few persistent issues that are affecting my experience, particularly when using the app via Apple CarPlay. CarPlay Playback Issues One of the most frustrating problems is that the app does not remember where I left off when I return to my car. Whether I’m listening to a podcast or a live stream, I often have to manually restart playback, which is inconvenient and distracting—especially while driving. This issue has persisted across multiple updates and devices. Missing News Bulletin & Local News Access Another concern is the lack of easy access to the latest news bulletin and local news content. Previously, I could quickly tap into a concise news update, but that feature seems to have been removed or buried deep in the interface. Additionally, there’s no straightforward way to access state-specific or regional news, which I find disappointing given ABC’s strong local journalism. These issues are particularly noticeable in CarPlay, where navigation is limited and content options appear reduced compared to the mobile app. I understand the app has undergone a redesign, but these changes have unfortunately made the experience less intuitive and less useful for regular listeners like myself. Suggestions • Restore or improve playback memory in CarPlay. • Reintroduce a clear “Latest News” button or shortcut. • Provide easier access to local news bulletins, ideally with CarPlay compatibility. • Consider user feedback more actively in future updates. I hope this feedback is helpful and contributes to ongoing improvements. I value ABC’s content and would love to see the app better reflect the needs of its loyal user base.

Great staff, good soundtracks, relaxing/chilling musics, and so much more. I listen to it every mornings and afternoons before I start or on the way to work, relaxing at home or an hotel/motel.

Have tried downloading podcasts vs streaming. App just chews through battery, can feel it getting warm in my pocket. Apple Podcasts does none of this, I can use it for a day. ABC Listen I get maybe and 2 hours before my battery is low.

New app navigation: Now it’s easier than ever to explore the content you love. Find ABC Radio stations, Podcasts, News, Kids, Sport and Audiobooks, all at the top of the Home screen. The new navigation is being rolled out progressively over the next few weeks and may not be visible immediately on update. Minor refresh of the app interface to improve accessibility, navigation and your experience on iPads.
