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!

Streaming is glitchy

The streaming cuts out multiple times per day for several weeks now. Please fix! I am starting to revert back to listening on my old radio. Otherwise I did enjoy the app.

Cant sign in

Can’t sign in and listen to shows. Please fix

Not bad, but if only……

I could rewind in real time to catch the start of the show when I’m 10mins late like I can on the BBC’s version. Even being able to go back 15mins would be great!
I do love the “Lite” website facility though!

CBC

I was introduced to CBC radio by my grandmother.
I spent weekends there as a youngster, she was a retired school teacher.
Keep up the good work you do, I love the weekend morning shows.

Completely Useless

Just updated and now it doesn’t open at all.

🏆BEST app CBC❤️

Easily switch regions, music, podcasts. The app is so clean and elegant. It’s ideal, really and I use it daily

Love CBC don’t like the app

The app you signing me out constantly, disconnecting from my Bluetooth it just generally does not function well. I do enjoy using it when it works well but that’s infrequent.

Still broken

Can’t change my default station. Always insists on going back to Ottawa. Plays news feeds from last time I listened often days ago

Does what it is supposed to

It’s easy to use and I’ve not experienced any glitches.
