Please pass on my gratitude to the daily service team especially. I felt disappointed that it was moved from its place on Radio 4, after so many years, onto Radio 4 Extra. It seemed and felt like it had been sidelined, demoted even onto a station that replays old programs as though it was not considered very important any more. I believe it is the oldest running radio program in the world. Surely, it should have very high priority… However, I am pleased that we still can be encouraged through the readings, worship and reflections on God’s Word -to bring the peace that only He can give - over the airwaves in our United Kingdom 6 days each week throughout every year. Praise God and Thank you bbc sounds. -- Sally Eloise, 2024-12-30 ### ***-- "I can’t find how to rewind or fast forward" On iPad , I might want to rewind, but I cannot see the option . I was listening to the Dickens ghost story the mystery of Edwin Drood. I love the radio “dial” very effective -- I’m new to music, 2024-12-30 ### ***** "A wonderful companion" Provides an absolute wealth of great content. A wonderful companion. -- scario66, 2024-12-29 ### ***** "Great choices" Always something different to listen to well presented as ever with theBBC -- V.Nan, 2024-12-29 ### ***** "So much choice" I love BBC Sounds. There is always something to listen to. The site is quite easy to navigate and it’s free. What’s not to love? -- Jack the d, 2024-12-29 ### ***** "Fantastic" Love it don’t know how I would survive without it now absolute god send -- lucky for some, 2024-12-28 ### *---- "Agree with most of the negative reviews....and getting worse." Update. It has now got even worse. Out of 12 programs I am subscribed to that are currently on the radio only 2 of them are appearing in the latest part of my sounds. Older programmes that I want to follow are now not appearing in my sounds at all meaning I have to check daily for the new episodes. Just because they are old eg all of 4 extra, doesn’t mean that we don’t want to listen to them now. Absolutely pathetic. If I could reduce to zero star review I would. BuT some of the developer’s responses are infuriating! “Subscriptions (my radio) are not grouped or ordered properly” we are looking at amending this. “It’s too bright”. We’re looking at introducing a dark mode and this from just a few reviews I’ve looked at. Surely all this should have been tested before releasing this debacle on the listeners. Did any of the developers actually use the old iplayer? Where were the User Assurance Coordinators? What about releasing beta versions to users before release. A massive step backwards for dedicated radio listeners. Dec 24 A facility to delete items from the “continue listening” part of the app would be very welcome. Mine is getting clogged up with one off programme I have listened to but don’t delete themselves or programmes I have tried and don’t like that sit there forever hiding the content that I want to access. This should be a brilliant app as the content is the best around but the developers never seem to get it right or change things for the sake of it ( as an IT consultant I know that is a temptation, delivered well to idiot management these updates can guarantee your job for years ahead) -- Big Bass Al, 2024-12-27 ### ***** "Review" BBC Sounds is just great,I can listen anytime,especially when my family are taking.Thank you. -- Andybrad62, 2024-12-27 ### ***** "Radio 7" Excellent afternoon coupling of Gilles Peterson and Craig Charles. Useful to download and listen at leisure -- Snoop 14, 2024-12-27 ### *---- "Low latency" App always fails to load when started in the morning. Fails to connect to internet when all other streaming apps work fine. -- G E Dunthorne, 2024-12-24 ### *---- "Hopeless" From go to app for decades to next to useless. Rarely loads, when it does rarely works properly. No longer my go to for anything. Avoid (the entirely avoidable) frustration of trying to use this hapless app. Shame - experience over past 2 years with BBC Apps means at this rate I’ll no longer consume any BBC content! -- Chris!?£&, 2024-12-23 ### *---- "whisperer in the darkness is missing" The best podcast that the bbc has (sadly left slightly unfinished) is the Lovecraft investigations. Unfortunately series 2 is missing. Please put it back on. -- Rabbitsinthewood, 2024-12-22 ### ***** "Hi" Bye -- Lightening764, 2024-12-20 ### *---- "Fake app" Requires re-registration at a .com url instead of .co.uk. Why the refresh? Why the non uk url for the bbc? Has app been hijacked? -- zxchrtt65, 2024-12-20 ### ***** "A wide range of interesting and entertaining shows" I listen to late night shows which are great company if sleep is evading me. The news keeps me up to date with what’s going on in the world ; being sent by brave journalists from the middle of crises. I especially like You are Dead To Me and In Our Time on R4. -- travellin gal, 2024-12-19 ### **--- "Too many steps to use Airplay" Every other audio app I use requires you select Airplay, then the speaker. The Sounds iOS app requires one extra step to confirm that you do indeed want to AirPlay or cast; why?. Hardly a major annoyance but it is frustrating every time -- KeefDu, 2024-12-19 ### ***** "Sounds" Great radio, so helpful to be able to listen when it suits me and be able to rewind if I didn’t understand or hear something. -- 777Parmi, 2024-12-19 ### ***-- "Good but…" It’s a really convenient way to listen to the programmes: I go for Science, Technology, Drama and Comedy usually, but I’m noticing a reduction in content. Lots of golden oldies (there are only so many of those I can take). -- Linty1111, 2024-12-18 ### **--- "Navigation still as bad as ever." Am I shouting at clouds? No response, no interest …. I started with a favourable impression of the app, mainly because I’ve been finding a great deal of material to which I’d like to listen. And there’s the rub. There seems no practical mechanism to scroll to the earliest podcast of a large scale series before losing the will to live, which makes listening to any podcast of significant size almost impossible. Given the admirably large range of material on offer, this is a very serious deficiency. And now I discover that the podcasts are often arranged entirely arbitrarily, which makes it practically impossible to follow in chronological order. It’s not just the app, the same is true of the website. Is there an alternative free app that can sort out the BBC’s shambolic arrangement of its excellent content? -- DomJN, 2024-12-18 ### **--- "So many bugs now" You can’t listen to parts one and 2 in a series. Please fix … -- Radio lover- 121, 2024-12-16 [View all BBC Sounds reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/ru/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## BBC Sounds Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Топ бесплатных | Великобритания | Music | #3 | | Топ бесплатных | Великобритания | Overall | #124 | ## BBC Sounds Discovered Keywords - podcast free - you me and the big c - the podcast app - podcast app for iphone - radio five live - radioplayer the uk radio app - bbc radio player - bbc asian network - bbc radio wales - diary of a ceo ## Apps Similar to BBC Sounds - [Capital FM](https://apptail.io/ru/app/capital-fm-Fd/united-kingdom) - [Classic FM](https://apptail.io/ru/app/classic-fm-Gd/united-kingdom) - [Heart](https://apptail.io/ru/app/heart-Jd/united-kingdom) - [Absolute Radio](https://apptail.io/ru/app/absolute-radio-fh/united-kingdom) - [Smooth Radio](https://apptail.io/ru/app/smooth-radio-jJ/united-kingdom) - [British FM Radio - Live Player](https://apptail.io/ru/app/british-fm-radio-live-player-YTh/united-kingdom) - [Global Player Radio & Podcasts](https://apptail.io/ru/app/global-player-radio-podcasts-uVj/united-kingdom) - [All Points East](https://apptail.io/ru/app/all-points-east-HHo/united-kingdom) - [Boom Radio UK](https://apptail.io/ru/app/boom-radio-uk-YSx/united-kingdom) - [Radioplayer - Radio & Podcast](https://apptail.io/ru/app/radioplayer-radio-podcast-gAQ/united-kingdom) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io/ru) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
