Desert Island Discs

Goodpronk on

I’ve only used this title because it is the last one I’ve played. What a trove of riches is this app. Having discovered it I don’t think I could henceforth live without it. I even go to bed with it playing, via Bluetooth, into my hearing aid.

BBB Sounds Rules!

Miss Rochefort on

Living in France as I do, BBC is a God sent gift as not only does it provide culture and comedy to educate and amuse me, it also enables me to inform all my French acquaintances of exactly what is going on in theUK. Thank you all.

And ……

Laurie Whitten on

Can’t download in advance so when you lose coverage you lose the series that you are listening to - that you can’t listen to in the correct order and that you can’t just listen straight through when is coming in the right order, finally, because you have to hit the play button for each episode…… just saying!!!

appli conviviale et robuste

´!gf,vf ( on

appli fantastique pour ceux qui aiment la musique 🎵et les british 🇬🇧et qui veulent ecouter autre chose que des playlists aseptisées et sponsorisées et si vous comptenez l'anglais les animateurs sont cools et brillants évidemment ss parler de la réputation BBC

Bbc sounds

Queen Belqis on

I love BBC sounds dramas. They’ve helped me with my English, general knowledge and imagination. It’s a pity I can’t listen to some of my favourite dramas due to licence issues. I’d have loved to be able to listen to Jane Eyre for example. Besides, we don’t have a platform where drama lovers can get together to comment the program.

Radio 4 great

mouzieys on

And love being able to catch up!

Excellent app !

Poll Tax Exile on

BBC sounds is amazing ! It’s SO much better than the previous radio apps which gave access to BBC radio. But I took off a star for certain clunky aspects, especially for the awkwardness in finding again shows which you have subscribed to if you haven’t listened to them for a while. They become lost among a list of shows which you have subscribed to where every latest episode is listed (like EVERY edition of each news program) so that it becomes quicker to look for the show which you want to find again in the search box - if you can remember the name of the show you have subscribed to !

Mandatory login profile

MagnusLe on

For the last few months, the app has not allowed access, unless one creates a profile with intrusive personal questions. I used it daily before this requirement, but I have not been able to access any functionality at all after they introduced the login screen, as I do not want to hand them my data. The irony is that they continue to “improve” the app, but I have no idea if the new functionality is good or not, as I cannot access it.

The best for my English!!

pucho 68 on
