Reviews of BBC Sounds

  • Great content - no longer accessible via cellular data?

    One of my favorite apps. But suddenly I can only access content via WiFi. Yes, access to cellular data is enabled. I have reinstalled the app, still a problem. This is obviously very inconvenient - please address this.
  • Many Podcasts unavailable outside USA

    The Podcasts that are available to listen to within the United States are excellent! However, there is no filter allowing you to identify which Podcasts are not available. So, you simply have to make multiple attempts to listen to various programs in order to learn if you are permitted to hear the content. Quite frustrating!
  • Background music

    Many programmes feature background music when the presenter or guests are talking. I find it difficult to focus on what is being said as I am also drawn to listen to the music. I can’t understand the need for this distraction.
