Savior of the World?
Objective as possible news coverage for no charge; Great Radio Dramas; No Advertisements; Radio 4 Extra where there is no news bulletins allowing you to detox from the nasty world. Thank you to the British public and this very small result of prior English adventures.
Great content Poor Content Management
This review relates to the way in which content is managed i.e the interface to the excellent content (5⭐️) within this app.
I’ll illustrate the problem of content management by using Witness History, as an example, but other productions to which I subscribe have similar problems.
I started listening to the excellent series Witness History and decided to delve back in time to listen from the start of the series, the catalogue goes back to 2009, however, (1)there is no easy way to scroll back in time, and there are hundreds of episodes per year! This would not be a problem if all episodes were available to play with ‘AutoPlay’ but (2) the episode queue for AutoPlay is limited meaning you have to scroll back to the next episode when the AutoPlay queue is finished. (3) Finally, some of the episodes are listed but cannot be played, the app reports an error.
Although not a problem with Witness History, the order of episodes are such that if you AutoPlay you play items out of sequence. This is most noticeable when listening to a detective series and the plot jumps!

Suddenly i am in a loop between resetting my password
Didnt used to have to sign in . Repeated attempts to reset password in spite of sticking to criteria then when i do hack in loads of articles radio stations buried . Each update makes it less user friendly . And why do I need to sign in ? Is there a risk of scammers fraudulently listening to 1960s comedies ??

Amazing!!!
When I downloaded , I just knew it was the right thing to do. The jazz programming is better than anything I’ve come across in the USA by a country mile. The new music programming….excellent. The true crime stuff keeps me coming back. Big fan here, thank you!!!
The best of everything
Great free app. No ads. There is something for everyone with a wide choice of channels. You can stream live radio or listen to past shows.
Unbelievable numbers of rich and varied podcasts
I travel quite a bit and my go-to place for listening entertainment both on planes and when relaxing is BBC Sounds. Not only can I get up to date news from home and abroad, but whether it’s music or listening to a one off programme or a series, it’s just extraordinary how much there is available to suit every interest under the sun. I’d be lost without BBC Sounds

Top Radio
The top radio!
Sounds
I’m listening in Canada and I enjoy a variety of podcasts from BBC ranging from news, stories and music. I am occasionally disappointed when I’m am excluded from listening because of my location. I enjoy Americast because it is in-depth politics from an outsider’s perspective.
Great app
I love being able to access my favourite podcasts and music mixes from New Zealand. Some are unavailable, but there’s enough on there to keep me entertained. Thanks
