Monocle 24 App Reviews

I really love the monocle 24 app as much as I like reading the magazine. But I am experiencing problems lately when trying to pause a show. Its always crashing when I try to hit the pause button. Other than that I love the look of the app and of course all the featured shows. :)

I love everything about Monocle, and this app is a great addition, but the functionality leaves something to be desired. The app seems to need to restart after a few minutes paused and there is spotty support for different headphones - my Bose cant control play/pause. The auto download function also seems to have a mind of its own. I would give the content 100/100 but the app itself a much lower score. A few of the monocle podcasts are on stitcher so I listen to those on there instead

I had the old monocle 24 and I think this new version has a better look’n’feel and navigational structure, but I believe it needs some improvements. One example the design/dev team should improve: I know there a lot of people enjoying the bg noise during the Listen Live mode, but I think the app should have a button to disable it if the user want to (specially for users like me: I buy a noise-cancelling headphone to avoid them!).

Im a little disappointed having bought the previous pricey app which has now been replaced with this free one. Particularly since the old app had the possibility to play on AirPlay speakers. A key feature, as I think.

This app crashes on my iP6 every time I try to listen to a show.

Love the app and the redesign in version 2 is very welcome. It also crashes less now and adds some useful functionality. I don’t understand though that with a complete redesign “from the ground up” like it is advertised, it’s still not optimised for the iPhone 6 screen.

Great way to access Monocle 24 on the move. Vast improvement over the old Monocle app, much easier to access both live and past shows. Organisation by show rather than the old time shift much improved.

Seriously Monocle? This is what you came up with? You cant even click on the timeshift tab without stopping the live stream. App looks basic and unimpressive.

The monocle daily finally works. But midori house program still crashes the app. Please keep updating

Love the content but if the app freezes you must start the program from the beginning.

Monocle is producing world class content on various subject, such as design. How did they manage such an unusable app? Streaming crashes every ten minutes, no matter the network (LTE, 3G, wifi), shows little integration with locked screen, hard time to handle incoming phone calls, basically all rudimentary aspect of using seems broken. It needs major fixes.

Been following monocle for years and this is the perfect companion app. Love every program. One caveat as of yesterday 8/28/15 all episode downloads fail to download for myself and partner on separate devices. Something must be wrong with their server and there isnt a clear way to contacts monocle for support. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

I love the Monocle content but with the new app Im stuck at the Tag Heuer advertisement screen with no way to swipe or click to close. Please fix so I can use this app again!

I love Monocle radio and the ability to listen to and catch up on episodes on the go and offline (once episodes are downloaded). I am having some difficulty with the current version: some episodes are showing as downloaded and then not playing while others wont download.

I had long prolonged listening to Monocle 24, but its digestible 30mins episodes make for great morning listens and the variety of topics they cover is pretty astounding. My only complaint is that they need to enable the earbuds pause button instead of through the phone. As well as when I pause an episode and do something else I cant pick up where I had left off like I can do with Apples Music app. I have to reload the episode and fast forward. Quite annoying, and hope they fix the issue soon. Otherwise I love it!

My favorite radio,tnx!

The app offers great contents and interesting podcasts,but when you try to listen live its a disaster. Every 4/5 minutes the app crashes. I hope they can fix it!

Great idea but there are some bugs in the app. The app crashes when you select some of the shows. When you listen live and switch back to the time shift tab the stream stops.

Thanks for finally fixing streaming over cellular data. Though a little frustrating I paid for the original app and now this is free.

Crashes on iOS 6... Please fix.
