I have used this app for ages, it has always worked without issue. I mainly use it on my phone to stream in my old car via a bluetooth receiver and it works very well. Happy to recommend it 👍 04/05/21 I'm still very happy with the app but I would like one feature added if possible please... as the radio is being received via digital signal, could you add a "what's playing now" screen or section. This could also link to artist info, latest releases, purchase & streaming options etc. 😀

Hi Marlon, thanks for your review. Glad to hear you're still enjoying the app. Song information is available in the app already! Tap on the audio bar at the bottom of your screen when playing live radio. This will take you to a page with information about the song Now Playing, tap on that to go through to a list of songs Recently Played. Thanks.

Alarm was working fine, then it stopped a couple a weeks ago - the menu option is still there but when you press on it, nothing at all happens. Irritatingly, my old alarm preferences are still active in the app, I just can't get to them. So I can't ever change them, meaning if I don't want to be woken at 6:29am one morning, I'll actually have to uninstall the app the night before. Please fix it, Virgin, it's not good enough. I shouldn't have to uninstall and reinstall your app as a workaround.

When I launch the app it says Something went wrong..I need to be logged in then I have to click on a red bar that says Cancel which then takes me through to the programme and I have to click on another button to start the programme. Too many actions needed. Then it keeps stopping. Eventually I lose the will to continue. Sort it out for goodness sake. How can it be so terrible?

Hi Laila, thanks for your review and sorry you are having issues with sign in. Please kindly try logging out of the app from the Settings, deleting and reinstalling the app, and then signing in once again. This should fix the problem. Thanks.
