I am frustrated that the app continually drops out and interrupts my listening experience.

Your new app requires registration, signing in, WTF you are a public broadcaster tax payer funded why should I have to sign in to be able to take full advantage of all the programing content?
I refuse to do this so stick your app where you like.

Why oh why, did you change the original abc radio app – it was soooo easy to use, obvious in how to find things. But now!!!
I have tried many times to install the “wonderful new app”!, to get it so that it looks like the one the chap you use to promote the new “app”.
I follow the instructions all the way to adding the “Apple” ID (?) , but when I try to next use it, I get what looks like a man in a “space suit” again asking for the code to get in, then round & round I go again!!
With the previous one, I could easily get in, by tapping on the appropriate symbol!!
It is much more complicated than the new abc iView was, after the VERY simple original iVIEW, which was sooo simple .
Perhaps you could send me simple step-by-step instructions, to me at [emailprotected]
