Reviews
ITunes is better
ITunes is a much better platform. Appalling that BBC is now intentionally releasing content late on iTunes forcing us to use Sounds. Ultimately an own goal as I’m sure it will cost bbc podcasts lister numbers and benefit their rival podcasts.
Excellent News Sauce
Covers various topics, interesting episodes, a wonderful media to update the latest world moves.
Documentaries
The coming storm This is a documentary but it is also very good entertainment. It tries to be as balanced as possible . To a substantial degree it focuses on the “new”Republican party’s “reformation “ into a largely populist political movement, it is inevitably open to accusations of bias.It does something which is fairly rare, it is thought-provoking. It is a documentary which be looked back at in 10 years to see how prescient it is in its observations. The coming storm is but one of many entertaining and informative documentaries available on the BBC sounds app. I recommend them to all radio listeners
The sound level is too low
I have already turn my volume to the highest level but the sound is still very small when I am listening through headphones. I wish you could raise the volume of the original output.
Obama
Superb- highest quality interview
My go too News source
I grumbled when the app changes , as all Middle Ages people do. However , it is fantastic, much easier to navigate and the BBC content always fabulous. Love Newsday, Newsroom, Business Matters , Weekend , the real story Here in HK we are bombarded with CNN and Fox, and they are so biased and US centric Bravo BBC world service Best Regards, Tony Mid levels Hong Kong
Use of BBC Sounds
Whilst I am thoroughly enjoying this I find it much harder to manoeuvre through to choose different programmes or channels Instructions are poor and it is hard at times to know what to do I rely so much on BBC to get me through the night. I have bad arthritis which wakes me and after a short stroll to get the limbs moving I return to bed and turn onBBC for a timed programme or series and fall asleep again. I am unable to do this easily now We need clearer instructions to use it
Apple Watch
Hope it will also be available on Apple Watch
