BBC Sounds - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Jan 24, 2025
Very complex and unduly fiddly to operate. It's so frustrating when series start but don't complete. Or series begin in the middle! Needs a revamp I think.

For some reason None of my amazon echoes will play BBC SOUNDS or Radio

Rubbish, unusable most of times

Frustrating app, which doesn't do justice to the brilliant shows it contains. It could be vastly improved by leaving content longer, not suggesting programs already listened to, and referencing more of the BBC back catalogue. Look around. Other apps are just better. You are letting your content down!

Would be really good if you were able to download many of the podcasts. Also can't seem to delete those I no longer follow.

Not a bad app as it's reasonably easy to navigate, would be useful if you could playback old series in correct order rather than in reverse order without having to download first. Also wouldn't mind having greater access to archived material.

The app updated automatically overnight (26/27 Jan 2025) and the format had changed out of all recognition and wasn't working properly. Only got back to normal once I uninstalled and reinstalled.
