Reviews of CBC Listen

  • Mostly good, but bugs persist unaddressed

    Overall the design of the app is pretty good, and is relatively easy to find the shows you’re looking for. The downside though are the bugs that have persisted for years now without being addressed, despite how many times they are informed of them. The one that drives me nuts the most is how podcasts ignore the continuous playback option, so they will always play one to the next to the next forever. So if you cant reach your phone right away when the episode finishes, it will just load the next one regardless of whether you already heard it, and if like I do you tend to stop when theres a few seconds left, it will rapidly play the final seconds of dozens and dozens of episodes without stopping. Really dumb and annoying.

    Thank you for your feedback. We value every bug report and improvement suggestions. Your suggestion will be passed on to the respective team for investigation and resolution.
  • Works well but requires location

    If you refuse to give this app access to your location data, it will count you as “international” and restrict some content. This reeks of the CRTC and their meddling, a familiar story. The live streams seem to still work, and you can select which region to listen to eg. Atlantic or Eastern. Quality seems stable and sounds very good to my ears.

    Developer Response

    We would like to assure you that we don't carry or hold granular location data. We receive city-level location data to deliver radio streams and recently aired shows in your area. We also have country-specific, rights restrictions on some content. If you would like to learn more, please visit: Personal Information and Privacy Act. Thank you for the detailed feedback. We're happy to hear that the quality of the streams is to your liking!
  • Best media outlet

    I get all my news from CBC. They always have fresh, engaging, relevant and progressive-friendly content without annoying ads.

    The only quirk is I'm guessing unique to Alaska, which is an extra hour behind Yukon in the winter. Album art and captions are now out of sync with the radio audio by an hour. I'm not sure why and it would be nice to fix it but I guess it fixes itself in March again.

    Edit: looks like they fixed the glitch. Thank you. Now it's flawless.

    Hi Andrew! Thanks for the great review and rating :) We also love the feedback and have taken it back to the team. Keep updating your app and stay tuned for more improvements.
