Please do better!
The interface is a total nightmare to use and exceedingly annoying for those with reduced dexterity in hand/fingers. That "carousel" thing on the main page is a totally useless "feature" and should be removed!
At the very minimum, there should be a favourite page (preferably the main page) where most commonly listened to stations/podcasts can be pinned. This alone would make it bearable to use, and to be blunt, is a standard feature on s/w such as this.
Why is it not here? I am at a loss as to why such a basic feature is not on this app. Mind boggling!
Perhaps integration into Apple's shortcuts should be considered too?
A nice to have feature would be the ability to post comments/feedback for the producers of individual programmes, rather than having to use something like whatsapp (which I will NEVER install on my phone, btw).
Not a lot of "joined-up writing" here, and plenty of missed opportunities!
Radio 4
Hearing is one of our sensory organs, we take if for grated, the same as we take our eyesight for granted. There is no choice to make on which is the most important, it has to be hearing. We can and often do listen to the radio yet we do not see the presenters or actors that bring an immense wealth of information into our lives and we remember so much when we listen. Currently, I am catching up on the series the Corrupted which I caught in the middle of the night due to my location, wow! What a story and Ross Kemp a great narrator, yes Radio 4 has to be a national treasure, long may it continue. Tony b Thailand

Every thing you need to know is here. Being away from UK, I feel connected and BBC Sounds gives me tremendous pleasure. I put it on all day ever day. Thank you. From Chiangmai, Thailand
