    The range of programmes, from news to drama to a wide variety of discussion, debate and art programmes make BBC Radio 4 my go-to station. I find it straightforward in it's presentation and very useful in enabling those of us who come late to say an early news bulletin to take it again from the beginning. Nothing lost and I like that. Thanks

    I've enjoyed BBC Sounds for some years now and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. There is a wide variety of broadcasts, podcasts, drama productions, short stories, classic books, regular serials, sport etc. Some podcasts are political with lots of cut and thrust, some are funny and everything in between. It is impossible to explain the range but suffice it to say there is something for every age culture and taste. What's not to love. Try it, you won't regret it.

    It crashed frequently and forgets where I was in a download. (And my phone was new!) Very annoying. Also the schedule scrolling is slow and cumbersome compared to iPlayer radio. A backwards move, very annoyed. Later updates seem to have resolved crashes but scrolling still seems slow sometimes.Should remove the pictures from schedule.

    This app has been working ok up until recently. When used in conjunction with android auto (access the app on your cars display) the "start" button has disappeared. I hope this is just a glitch that will be corrected and not an intentional downgrade. I do find the search facility on the app very poor compared to using sounds via a web browser. Not a bad app but could be a lot better.

    Desperately need to be able to sort bookmarks by expiry date to avoid missing things. Should also be able to set a playlist instead of getting the apps choice of what comes next. Latest update to android auto has resulted in the head unit interface not having a skip back button, the skip forward button seems to be on top of it.

    The app STILL shows subscriptions without any content at the top of my subscription list. Why is the program even there? Also, why does the app list 8 episodes of the same program one after another rather than have one item with the name of the show and when I select it then showing me there's 8 episodes of it. Basically a garbled and shoddy User Experience which puts me off using it as much as I'd like to because it's difficult to find programs I want to listen to

    Works ok. It would be good if there were widget buttons or an interface that allowed simply pressing a button to change stations - as simple as a DAB radio. We don't necessarily want to do much visual browsing. Don't like having to sign in - if it was for our benefit, it would be optional. Unbelievable that you don't have notifications for new episodes of shows we are subscribed to. This is basic functionality. What are you playing at?

    I like to listen to the radio and find it annoying when I miss an episode of something that I'm following, so the Sounds app is good, but I haven't figured out yet how to keep a program playing, without keeping hold off the device. The program keeps going off after a few minutes. Irritating.

    Used to love Cerys Matthews Sunday Morning show on Radio 6 & still do ! BUT when the iPlayer format used to include track details for further investigation on both digital TV internet and phone app WHY does this not continue in your new forced upon us BBC Sounds? No links to webpage or basic tracklisting? Why take something simple and excellent down to a new lower standard? We pay for licence for BBC services, register to watch and listen but does BBC listen to our inputs in return?

    Editing my original review as it's a different issue now: takes forever to load up the actual radio feature? Regardless of WiFi or 4G being connected, it buffers for minutes (most of the time over five minutes) before actually playing. There is also no easy way to see the past track list which I thought would be one of the most basic additions to the app 🤔
