A bit glitchy

Love the content but The app keeps signing me out and never keeps my credentials. It also stops playing occasionally and I need to restart the app to continue.

CBC is the Voice and Heart of Canada

I’m a life- long listener of CBC. I’ve been a loyal supporter since the 1970’s when I was a young teenager waking up to global news, arts and culture- all of which there was a plethora of to be heard and experienced on CBC Radio.

I thank all the programmers, writers and journalists who bring the world to my eager ears. And as an independent musician I’m grateful for the airtime and interviews I’ve had, so far.

Thanks from Vancouver island,

Difficile à naviguer

I love listening to the cbc but I have struggled with this app. I have to re enter the program name every time and it does not always come up

Awesome

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

My favorite app

I listen to this almost 24/7 and I love it. My mental health is good because CBC Radio exists.

My statement

I listen to CBC everyday and just about every program all day long.
In my elder years this is my way to being aware of changing culture, Canadian interests, news, uniquely Canadian look at the world.

Favourite

CBC Listen is my absolute favourite thing to listen to. Whether I am at home or in the car, I love the variety of music and stories I hear when I listen.

Love CBC

I begin every day with CBC. A few words to describe what CBC offers to me: comfort, peace, reliable information and news, celebrates our communities, pride, care, compassion and a focus on diversity - it opens my eyes and my heart!!!!!

Reliable and tries hard to be unbiased.

In a world that is increasingly polarized, CBC seems to do its best to be reliable, and balanced in reporting. They are seemingly, unafraid to show both sides of an issue.

Feed your mind

Where can you find a cornucopia of music, comedy, news, entertainment, educational content, podcasts and current events, commercial free anywhere else but on CBC Listen‽ My source, my choice!

Drop-outs a problem

I use it to listen live. The drop-outs and need for restarts is annoying. Especially in the midst of a news event.

Protect the CBC

I highly value and trust CBC content and I especially enjoy the Current. I miss The Irrelevant Show and This is That and wish there was more comedy.

I do wish CBC was willing to tackle some more controversial issues though

Morning's best radio

Intelligent, relevant, thoughtful, stimulating and human radio content. There is no other. ❤️CBC

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.
