Comments on ARD Sounds: Podcast & Radio for Android

★★★★☆ Paolo · Mar 24, 2026

As a non-native speaker of German, I use the app to listen to interesting content but above all to practice my hearing and understanding. Often the spoken language is too fast, and I need to slow it down. The speed options in the app have clearly been designed by someone who has never needed to use this feature themselves: 0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, ... If 1x is sometimes too fast for me, 0.75x is much too slow! More helpful would be options like this: 0.8x, 0.85x, 0.9x. 0.95x, 1x, ...

★★★★☆ wesley peters · May 11, 2025

The variety of channels you can enjoy is great, but not all channels will play. I haven't been able to listen to RBB Radio 3 for example.

★★★★★ Lancelot · Apr 24, 2025

Fantastic App for watching ARD and other associated TV stations programs. It has the usual favorites, currently watching, functionality you would expect. Great program choice, and professional independent unbiased news reporting.

★☆☆☆☆ Volker M. Welter · Sep 15, 2025

Interesting audiobooks, Hörspiele, etc. but the delivery is pretty bad, constant interruptions and delivery issues. At least the app asks for understanding, what a nice gesture. Overall pretty öffentlich-rechtlich, means taxpayer funded=doesn't work.

★☆☆☆☆ rares craciunas · Feb 17, 2025

The app was working nicely until the Jan 2025 Android update. After that, functionality has deteriorated significantly, particularly the podcast queuing (Wartenschlange), which is absolutely terrible now. Also, no ability to skip forward/back in the media output while phone is in lock mode, which you could do before. I'm having to look towards other apps for german podcasts, as this app is just unusable now.

★☆☆☆☆ Jochen Lang · Aug 14, 2026

Only very small-time window for radio playback. What a let- down. Hard to use for radio.

★★☆☆☆ X Y · Sep 7, 2026

Somehow the all does not reliably run in background... Not relate to this app, but why are those podcasts not showing up in my standard podcast app? I don't see a point using another app to listen to podcasts.
