Top content - content management could be better
The BBC content is second to none, absolutely love their shows!
The app is mostly quite good too although I would wish for better ways of organising the shows I’ve subscribed to by being able to organise them manually, not just by the order in which they were subscribed; the options to group shows; icons that indicates number of shows remaining or if a new show has been released, as it’s too easy too miss content in the feed or if it’s just not what you want to listen to at the time. Just more intuitive content management generally would be really appreciated! There’s so much good content and it can be hard to keep on top of it all or find the kind of thing you’re looking for when you want it.
Always with BBC, Thanks
Always with BBC to see undiscovered world
Bluesound integration
Thanks for a good app and experience. Please also get the Bluesound Players integrated as well.
Easy to use, superb content!
I love the beeb, so many great shows to listen to. The app is easy to use and navigate around, I have other radio apps from national broadcasters in other countries and they are clunky in comparison. Up the BBC!
Nästan allt som sänds på bbc radio under senast månaden.
Dessutom kan man lyssna live. Bra sökmotor. Nedladdning av sändningar funkar ej om man inte befinner sig inom Storbritannien.
Registration required
It’s a shame that it’s required to create an account simply to use the app. I’d like to stream BBC 6, which I can do in a web browser without registering, so why do I need to create an account just for this app? Please provide an option to use the app without registration, thank you.
Unable to listen
I update iOS for iPhone 11pro, reinstalled BBC Sounds app, logged in, check internet connection but app is just browsing :( iPlayer was excellent, never crushed , beautiful UI, so I always wonder why replace something that works with something that doesn’t
