英語の勉強にもぴったり！

BBCの放送なだけあり、とても綺麗な英語なので英語のリスニングの勉強にもお勧めです。コンテンツの内容もニュースだけではなく、色んな音楽なども楽しめるのでエンタメ系アプリとしてもかなり良いです。それにしてもほかのアプリのレビュー欄とか見てて思うのは、英語で書かれたレビューは星5つや高評価なものが多いけど、日本語で書かれたレビューは星1つだったり文句ばっかりで情けない。星1つなんてよっぽど酷くないと付けないと思うんだが、ここのレビュー欄にあるような、ちょっと使いづらいってだけで星1つとかもはやクレーマーだろ。気持ち悪い日本人だな。

Can't use it

Suddenly I just can't use the app anymore. It keeps showing there is no network connection while my Twitter is performing just fine. I also can't play any radio of bbc sounds on a browser on my computer. The only thing I can still listen to is the world service.

Sounds of 60’s ,70’s, 80’s and respective DJ’s

Absolute gold dust, may they go on forever. Radio 2 unwinds also a refreshing newcomer I far prefer having DJ’s present shows . Radio 4 news programs especially The world at 1, priceless! Thank you sounds . Ps I’m living in Japan ( British) I would willingly pay something? Some programs are UK only .. most frustrating). Option to pay would be grate Especially for international sports broadcasts . I teach English. My Japanese students love the app . Why can’t you make some money. And increase salaries!! Especially for Tony Blackburn and Jonnie Walker And Sarah Cox of course : )

Absolutely recommended for learners of British English

This app is one of the best places to immerse yourself in British English if you’re a learner of it. It contains lots of high quality contents that shouldn’t be available anywhere else. Highly recommended.

Build a streaming Apple Watch app!

So frustrating that there is no Watch app ! Baffling why there isn’t one……. Come on - Please Build a streaming Watch app!

Essential

The BBC Sounds app is the reason I have a smartphone. Couldn’t live without it.

良い

毎日楽しく聴いてる。

One of the best apps on my iPhone!

I listen to BBC Sounds almost constantly! The variety and quality of the shows and podcasts is staggering. You want music from the 1970s? It’s there. History or science podcasts? Interviews? Comedy, both classic like the Goins and Round the Horn to the latest comedians? They’ve got it all. Well worth downloading. As I live abroad, BBC Sounds has become my bit of Britain I can listen to anytime, anywhere.

Grate!

This app is awesome!

Like very much

Very useful
