BBC Sounds Reviews

Too strong!

Leonziade on

Italy

This program is very useful

Warming entertainment and great music

Yayaluppsy on

Italy

So nice to be able to listen to lovely programmes both live and later on. Plus the bonus is I can listen from anywhere 🥰

Battery drainer

guifirenze on

Italy

To put it simply, the app takes too much memory and is a battery drainer. And the last update made it worse.

Fantastic app

But when available on Apple Watch⁉️

This cultural life

Livinglite on

Italy

Is a wonderful insight into the minds of very talented people and what makes them tick.

Simply perfect

GabrieleG92 on

Italy

The quality and the variety of audios, along with their gratuity, make this app simply perfect for all listeners. Two words: thank you.

Extremely complete, both for streaming and for podcasts

Charlie Hedges n.1 🙌

Italy

BBC Radio 1 reference point for fans of dance music and clubbing. Charlie Hedges and his Dance Anthems are life. ❤️ Love from Italy 🇮🇹

Queue controls me!

niarborez on

Italy

I didn’t choose the queue option, I do not want the app keep proposing over n over episodes I already listened, even if deleted the queue option (that doesn’t disappears) keeps reproducing them. Who on earth design such cryptic function that is impossible to take off. What listeners need is just listen one episode after another in the list of the program. That is what should be.

Queue feature needs improving

coolkins on

Italy

Love BBC sounds. But the queue feature is seriously lacking - you can’t choose items to queue and sometimes it doesn’t even add items to the queue even if there are other episodes to play. It’s a shame because it makes the experience a bit annoying! Other than that, the app is wonderful.
