Fantastic app

But when available on Apple Watch⁉️

This cultural life

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

Simply perfect

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 🙌

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!

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

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.

Excellent

What a show. No wonder it has stood the test of time. Always different, interesting and surprising. Thank you.

To be improved

It should be made possible to subscribe and follow consistently a single show: for example, I’m a fan of DNB60. Episodes are all split up in different “folders” and one can’t understand what’s what. Also, giving the possibility to follow a tag (ex: Drum & Bass) and everything related would be nice. App doesn’t send notifications when new shows/episodes are out. Great potential but… To be definitely improved.

Sounds app

The app has vastly improved since it was first introduced and now does everything that it should have done from the beginning. I find it easy to use and am very satisfied with it. In my opinion it was introduced before it was ready but now it’s a good app and does all that I require of it
