Haven't sampled much yet. Adverts are its downfall which almost made me give up but you can move it on to miss them. Just a nuisance. Sound quality not wonderful, especially through earphones which gives the sound a horrible edge. Doesn't compare with BBC for quality unfortunately. Can't find a way of saving programmes for future listening. Finding programmes is difficult - doesn't seem to be a catagory search, so no idea what's available. No freezing yet. Will rate again after sampling more.

Awful, very basic app....no point in it! You may as well go to the website and listen over the web. App has no casting, no timeslip or pause, it has very basic control compared to others. I live a busy, full life. I only read 1x news paper a week, "The Sunday Times", but even that's shrinking in size so doesn't last a weeks worth of reading. Content on this radio station doesn't really compliment the paper, thankfully its more autonomous. Urgently develop the APP or lose potential market share!

I love the style of programs; informative and non-aggressive. Your sensible discussions with commentators and journalists help to develop balanced opinions. It is the radio station I have been waiting for throughout my adult life. I appreciate the need to fund the station, but my experience is significantly spoiled by the adverts. Many of them are condensending, embarrassing, and highly repetitive. Hence, I often listen on catch-up so I can fast forward through them. Otherwise, thank you!
