NEWS Programmes

Are way behind, they often give more segments about what is happening in the USA than they do Canadian news. We could do with up-lifting Canadian news. This applies to Tempo too.

Stable and dull

This app is almost like the perfect embodiment of the cliché Canadian: safe, stable but a little bland. For whatever reason it doesn't show you what song is playing, which feels like even the most basic app does that now. You have to go and find it on the play log, which they appear to have reinstated after it disappeared for a while.

But I like the Morning show and Drive for live radio and I do listen to some of the channels as well on occasion.

Tons of content, it's a shame there are so few features.

Awesome

Use this app every day. I love the work the staff of the ZCBC do to produce varied, timely, and interesting content. Thank you CBC team.

CBC is thoughtful , well researched and always interesting. Always my first and most important source.

Classical music.

I am a classical fan. Would liken
more programming during the week and at night. I rely on cbc for all my listening needs.

Essential service

Thanks to the folks at cbc for making such a good outlet of news, a community of listeners and let us not forget an essential service role since the beginning. Keep up the good work!

Sign out

Signs me out almost daily , why?

Great App

I appreciate the playlists and the local radio

Grateful Listener

This is by far my favourite App! It fills me up with beautiful music, knowledgeable talk shows, heartwarming and kind conversations and much needed sad and tragic stories from our past to our present. I’m a big fan of public broadcasting. The CBC rocks! Thank you! 🤘🫶

Listening cross country

I work at home and it’s great to have flexibility to listen to live programs playing in different time zones. A bonus is hearing the news from Kamloops and St. Johns while I listen from Toronto. I feel a bit more connected to issues and events coast to coast.

CBC for me….

I rarely listen to any other station, either in the car or working from home, CBC always provides me with interesting programming on Radio One, be it live or on demand…why listen to anything else?

Best way to listen to CBC

I use this everyday to listen to CBC. It can be a little glitchy sometimes (not playing, etc) but it’s still the best way to catch your favourite shows. I wish it was open source so I could help fix things!

Review

I do not understand why I need an account when I have an app. This is public broadcasting and no password is required. Just making accessibility harder.

Love the shows, app is frustrating

App glitches every time it updates--forces me to log in again and scrambles my location; search function is dodgy

asks for privacy settings too often

app is fine except every few days the app pops up that annoying privacy preferences screen. why does it keep forgetting? please fix, it’s quite disruptive

Cross-Canada

I love the ease of switching between cities to hear local CBC coverage for my favorite places!

Why? Where?

I thought update helped make the app better? Why do I need to keep signing into my CBC accounts? Not just this app. I’ve just started skipping the step and deal without access to favourites. No big deal. AND … wasn’t there a volume control feature? Since the CBC app volume levels are different from other apps, some very big differences, I’d really like to see this feature [back]!

Pretty good!

Easy to search for content and to discover new programs or podcasts. They definitely need to fix the login function, which doesn’t remember you from visit to visit.

Fixed with a restart, sorry!

Just trying to delete the previous review, can’t tell if this is doing it or not. Said it didn’t work, but it was my phone not the app.

Mr

CBC is an institution supported by people’s money… but due to its Leftist-Islamist-Liberal mind set doesn’t represent Canada as a whole 😡
