BBC radios -4 not working

### 1/5 — Talk Radio removed from playlist

*2025-12-26, version 2.0*

This app had Talk Radio but it was removed from playlist

### 2/5 — What’s happened?!

*2025-12-23, version 2.0*

My stations got scrambled and Talk Radio (Talk TV) has disappeared. This is a deal breaker. Rating changed to 2 stars

### 1/5 — Really poor now

*2025-12-23, version 2.0*

I bought this app many years ago and at that time it was great however now in 2025 it is really really poor. Many of the BBC main radio channels no longer open. It crashes regularly. It loses connection regularly and occasionally it will clear all of your saved channels. It also doesn’t allow you to add a new radio channel that has appeared in the past few years. I would not recommend this to anybody any longer, it’s really poor.

### 1/5 — No more BBC Radio support

*2025-12-22, version 2.0*

I used to love listening to the BBC World Service on this app but it appears that all of a sudden the BBC channels don’t work anymore. Disappointing
