*2025-07-30, version 2.0*

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

*2025-12-26, version 2.0*

This app had Talk Radio but it was removed from playlist

### 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

### 1/5 — Limited

*2025-12-03, version 2.0*

Most of the listed radio channels are not currently working on the app (Dec 2025).

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Glitches after first station

*2025-11-16, version 2.0*

As above

### 1/5 — Reception

*2025-10-14, version 2.0*

I know too get blamed on the wifi but every other app works fine. This one keeps dropping out I then have to cancel the play back and join again resulting in an advert every 10 minutes

### 5/5 — Great Radio app

*2024-11-26, version 2.0*

Just wish that when an alarm rings or a call comes through / reminder etc … the radio would resume broadcasting on it’s own instead of me having to restart it manually.  This is such a common feature… Spotify has it.. surely you can do it too.
