Other Comments

I'm not a fan of the heading that hsows what you're listening to, if you listen to something even without subscribing it will still show up there,, but apart from that this is a great app!

Hi! I live in France, and I use BBC Sounds a lot, for live and on-demand listening as well as for podcasts from the BBC. Occasionally I'll find something which is only available in the UK, and the app alerts me to that, but that's pretty rare, I can listen to almost eanything I want on the BBC Sounds app. That's why I'm so glad it's available in other countries, we don't have to live in the UK to enjoy plenty of audio from the BBC.
