Show Availability

This app is absolutely GREAT, but I hope the BBC will not end the availability of wonderful shows like Old Harry’s Game, The Quanderhorn Experimentations, and Reluctant Persuaders that are currently due to delete within a year. Please keep these able to listen to!

That’s right

Love all you djs

Love BBC Sounds

This allows me to enjoy programs from across BBC radio anywhere; I get international news, catch up on sports and comedy shows, and enjoy documentaries I might otherwise miss. Shout out to Americast which is an excellent weekly program covering American politics.

Comfort sounds for the ears

In these stressful times where I can’t bare the heartbreaking news of the world, I’m binging on Desert Island Discs. So interesting, calming and relaxing.

Proud Expat living in Canada

I can’t say enough about having this App available in Canada. I set my alarm every weekday to listen to Jeremy Vine. I also enjoy many other programs such as Newscast, Martin Lewis Any Questions & Any Answers and many more. The quality of them are unbelievable, so many personalities who are so talented. If the BBC wanted to make more money they should set a price and I’m sure many like me would willingly pay for this fantastic radio content. I’m hoping that one day soon you could give us BBC IPLAYER PROGRAMS? I have also enjoyed Nick Wallis covering The Post Office Scandal. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to listen to your Radio station. My sister in England says if she wants to know what is happening in England she asks me! Paula

It is not clear why some podcasts are only available in the UK. This makes scrolling through the site a frustrating experience.

Outstanding

With excellent news coverage, music channels, comedy, drama, History, debate and consumers affairs programs it’s like several apps in one. It’s my must-have app. Saturday Live is a new favourite.

Excellent

You have the best and most wide ranging 5 minute news. All your readers are great, but Sue Montgomery is is my favourite. I have lived in Canada for over 50 years, but grew up with BBC, so I’m a huge fan. I am so glad to be able to receive all your stations. Hopefully the dimwits in UK government will not decimate the BBC, an icon in broadcasting.

I love BBC sounds. I listen daily from Vancouver Canada. It is very convenient for me. Because of the 8 hour time difference, I can listen to programmes that I would otherwise miss. I often find a drama to listen to while I’m preparing food or other tasks at home. I’m a huge fan of most of your programmes. Keep up the good work!

A grateful Canuck!

Thanks to all my UK cousins tax dollars for supporting the BBC, your news and entertainment is epic!
