“Subscribed” section could be improved
Let me start by saying I love the BBC sounds app overall. Not giving it the fifth star because I find the “subscribed” section (I mainly listen on iPhone) lacks functionality: the tiles are huge, there are no alternative layout options and no ability to sort/reorder subscribed programmes. If the individual program tiles were smaller you could see more subscribed programs on one screen and if there was the ability to sort (or even if subscriptions defaulted to alphabetical order) that would in my view be an improvement on what seems to be “newest at the top” only. I prefer the layout of the downloads section/the info behind each tile to how the subscribed section itself is laid out. Please consider some development here?

Unstable operation
While the content is great the app is unstable cutting out of a broadcast or particularly downloads without warning if one touches the Iphone I use to listen. On Saturday mornings and at other times there can be a problem opening the app or selecting particular content. For a sizeable national corporation it is not good enough.
