Italian learner

I downloaded the app to practice my Italian listening skills. I was pleased to find an app similar to BBC Sounds and ARD Sounds with a range of different radio stations. They all play fine on my iPhone. Great. There are a few annoying things however. First, there is no 'go back 10 seconds' button on the lock screen like other apps. Instead, you have to manually open the app. That's hugely annoying. Also, not all programmes are available as podcasts. One show "Radio1 Musica" is very good, but it's not possible to listen back to past episodes. Would be delighted if these improvements could be implemented. Grazie!

Problema

Non si apri.

Buoni contenuti, pessimo contenitore

Perché alcuni podcast o, ancora più inspiegabilmente, solo alcune puntate di un certo podcast non si possono scaricare? Perché il cursore di avanzamento di una puntate rimane bloccato su 00:00 anche quando l’audio va avanti? Perche quando esco dall’applicazione, poi rientro e faccio partire l’ultima puntata riprodotta, essa non si riparte dall’istante dell’ultimo ascolto?Perché non ci sono animazioni che all’utente rendano l’esperienza, oltre che più godibile, anche più intuitiva? C’è un bel catalogo di interviste e podcast di alto livello culturale, soprattutto interviste e materiale d’archivio veramente interessanti; ma l’utilizzo è veramente ostico.

Un’ottima compagna

Riesco ad ascoltare i miei programmi preferiti di Radio 3 in diretta o in podcast senza problemi dall’estero :)

audiolibri

Ascoltato qualche mese fa l’audiolibro di Arancia meccanica, tutto bene, audio buono, buona interpretazione e pause musicali (per quanto leggermente fastidiose e ripetitive) che duravano relativamente poco. Provo ad ascoltare l’audiolibro di Passaggio in India e non c’è niente che va: audio pessimo, lunghissimo commento prima della effettiva lettura del capitolo e pause musicali INFINITE ed inutili che ti fanno venire il latte alle ginocchia. Peccato, mi hanno impedito di fruire di un audiolibro che volevo effettivamente ascoltare.
