Daily routine

I wake up with Metro Morning, then listen to one of the many podcasts, and I never miss the news program at 6 pm. Every day.

Mr.

Listening you guys is the best (& only) way to be aware of the current situation and harpings around me. Walk up.

What happened to the playlogs?

When listening to an episode, the playlist is not available anymore on Afterdark, please bring back this fabulous feature!

Yes!

The best DJs. You will enjoy and learn soooo much!

Endless listening

It’s comforting to know there is a place you can go to listen to the chatter of the city. Thank you.

App has stopped working for me

Recently, when I start the app it goes to a screen asking me to allow tracking, and there’s a continue button, but when I tap the button, nothing happens. The app is completely unusable as a result.

CBC Radio & podcasts

I listen to CBC Radio every day. First thing in the morning and throughout most days. So much entertaining & important information is shared. I also enjoy the podcast “Two Blocks from the White House”
Keep up the good work. We’d be lost without you. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Not Searchable

Heard a show on the radio you love? Try searching for it. Perhaps the software developers need to “eat their own dog food”, aka do way more usability testing.

Canadian

I’m a CBC listener- love this app!

A suggestion

I believe we are indeed fortunate to have access to the CBC.

Yet if I may I would like to suggest it would serve to aim a little higher.

For example only,
To give interview access not just to the often interesting point of view of defence lawyers in criminal cases.

But also, accord interviews ——-even of fair length to practising lawyers but at the same high level —-for the prosecution. To let the public have access to a real and scrupulous appraisal of the intent of law.

Epic UI Improvement

I wrote a review iterating a list of improvements I wanted to see in the UI. Coincidentally, the very next day an update was released addressing every single nit I had. The playlogs are now eminently usable.

Well Done CBC!!!

FIVE Stars

Review

The current version completely covers the Lock Screen on iPhone when the app is open. This is unacceptable. If this is not fixed I will complain to Apple.

Balance please

As a publicly funded entity, CBC should be required to provide well-researched, evidence-based, and balanced journalism please.

Love the CBC

Can listen anytime anywhere. Very informative

National Treasure

CBC is truly a national treasure and CBC Listen puts it in your hand.

I’m not in Ottawa!

It’s been years now, please fix it. No matter how I set up the location, it always jump to Ottawa when you open the app.

Everything

As usual CBC covers it all with with courteous , thought provoking and fun host

Insane update 7.6.1

Just updated, and now it doesn’t open at all unless I sign in. Every day I now must delete the app, re-download and install, and sign in or it just loads forever.

Silly me for updating and trusting the system!

App freezes

If you pause a show of podcast, you have to restart the app to resume.

N’importe où

J’apprécie tellement Que je puisse écouter en Pennsylvanie où j’habite!
