CBC Listen App Reviews

Just installed and wont even open for me

Hourly News has CBC and a ton of other top-of-the-hour news podcasts that play with 1-tap. Its like podcasts for dummies, super easy and convenient

Had been a great app, but update doesnt work at all. Hopefully CBCs engineers will fix quickly.

Always having issues - either wont open or stalls - also buttons are way too small for iPhone use

New version is very buggy and will not work today. Says that I do not have a wi-if connection and then goes blank and locks up. Same for iPhone and iPad versions.

The app looses connection and requires a full restart to work again. Usually quits about 15 times on a 1 hour bus ride. But I still use it for the content. Please fix the app!!!

Useless for on demands. Going to any program in the lists of on demand programs will only bring up the first program in the list. Unless Im mistaken, there is no search for on demand, either.

This CBC App used to work very well but now there are major problems. I am now unable to hear the news on Radio One. What happened?????

Ive written to CBC and still no fix. The same problems as mentioned by others. Cmon either apple or CBC, do something.

Unfortunate.

I used to enjoy listening to archived shows daily. Now, since the last update, thats not possible. The on-demand function is broken. No one responds when I try to contact the app designers. I cannot believe this is the best the CBC had to offer. Embarrassingly bad.

Not only is CBCs content excellent, but the CBC Radio app is very functional and easy to use. The one time I experienced a problem after an update, I reported it and the problem was fixed within a few days. Thanks CBC!

On my iPhone 4 the latest version does not let me select individual programs. I have reloaded the app several times but the problem persists. Older versions worked well.

This app is great!

Horrible update. Programs now segmented and hard to find. Useless. Ill use tunein radio from now on instead.

This is a great update that makes the app much more usable and looks a lot prettier. Also seems to be much more stable. But is there some kind of ban on pushing out the track names and artists in the live feed? Im a Midwesterner from the U.S. who thinks CBC Radio 3 has the best shows and DJs who play the best music anywhere, but I can never re-find what Im listening to unless I get lucky enough to hear the DJ chime in after the set! Its gotta be easy enough to show us track names and artists, no?

YOU CHANGED THE ICON/ LOGO?! Im VERY left-handed, and one trait of left-handedness is that we equate with icons and logos far more strongly than with text. The CBC Red-on-White logo is perhaps one of the worlds most-widely recognized, so WHY would you feel compelled to change the apps icon to BLUE-ON-WHITE?! Also, the opening message from Jian Gomeshi touts "easier navigation". It took me several minutes just to figure out how to listen to Radio One, and Im stlll not sure how I found it! There was NOTHING wrong with the previous version!

I listen to several different Radio 1 streams, for the local content. The new update seems to make it impossible to bookmark favorite live streams in "My Radio", making it much more difficult to quickly switch between streams. The app apparently assumes that a listener will only make one choice for Radio 1 streams, and then never change.

New update no longer lets me save favorite streams and stations. A major inconvenience!

Crashes every 5 minutes when attempting to live stream radio. The app on my old 3S is far more stable and reliable than the much-touted version for ios 8. Very disappointing when youre trying to follow consequential Canadian news from afar.
