Not sure what’s going on on the app even on desktop it won’t work I have been listening you for years love your radio programs. Please let me know if it A glitch or the USA or international cannot listen to your catch-up programs on capital radio and other Global radio stations. Dan ### 1/5 — too much payne no liam *2020-07-23, version 68* THIS IS NOT WHY I GOT THE APP WHERE IS LIAM THAT INTERVIEW WAS SO SHORT 1 STAR ### 1/5 — liam payne interview *2020-07-23, version 68* too much payne, not enough liam ### 5/5 — i downloaded this for one direction’s 10 years *2020-07-23, version 68* i’ve always watched clips on youtube of the boys being interviewed by the hosts. i then followed them on instagram. living in america i figured that watching just the clips on youtube would be good, however with the stations immense love for our boys my need to listen to it live has surged. i love the hosts and how invested in the boys they are, it shows on not only their many posts on social media but in interviews as well. i am ruining my sleep schedule to listen and i have no regrets. they are a reliable source in this time of uncertainty for directioners. i love the boys (as you can probably tell) and so do they so that’s cool. - now here’s a tweet i thought was needed- One Band 👆🏼🇬🇧🇮🇪 One Dream 💭💍 One Direction 🆔🎧 just five boys who went from the bottom of the stairs 🎥 to the top of the world ❤️🌏⭐️ Niall☘️ Louis🥕 Zayn🎢 Harry🐱 and Liam 🥄irish 🇮🇪 dj malik 💿 carrots 🥕 spoons 🥄hazza 🐱 no jimmy protested 😂energy juice 🧃Kevin 🐦🕊 ### 5/5 — woohoo *2020-07-23, version 68* I love Capital cause they are DARK DARK Larries ☺️ ### 5/5 — ten years of one direction *2020-07-22, version 68* the only reason i’m downloading this app is to hear liam and niall😌 ### 5/5 — hello *2020-07-22, version 68* The three days we have been very anxious for are just at our doorstep. I know that louis did not sing “this is not the end, this is not the end” , for nothing to happen. In louis we trust. I am nervous but stoked. I find it absolutely crazy just how much these 5 boys (yes i’m choosing to include zayn) have made such a huge impact in our lives. I will love them endlessly. and if nothing happens.. well then ... i’ll just have 5 albums to listen to for the rest of my life. I love these boys just like they love me. I am very excited to see Liam in all his glory on Thursday morning. I do find it just a tad bit crazy that I expect other guests (lou, harold, nialler, and dj malik). Regardless of what happens, I’ll be here. You light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. ### 5/5 — haha *2020-07-21, version 68* Let’s be honest, we’re downloading this app because of the 1D 10th anniversary:) ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-11-22, version 57* I used to live in England and loved listening to capital and heart radio stations, and this app allows me to listen to them wherever I am. 10/10 would recommend. ### 3/5 — Bug when trying to listen to past shows on Capital *2018-05-01, version 34* Listening live works fine, but there seems to be a bug when listening to previous shows, I try to skip 30 seconds and it plays the beginning of the show again, very frustrating because I can skip to the very end and fast forward and it will start the show from the very beginning again when I would almost be finished listening to a 3 hour show ! :(( ## Frequently asked questions about Capital FM ### What can I do with the Capital FM app?
