    Mostly good, but bugs persist unaddressed
    Overall the design of the app is pretty good, and is relatively easy to find the shows you’re looking for. The downside though are the bugs that have persisted for years now without being addressed, despite how many times they are informed of them. The one that drives me nuts the most is how podcasts ignore the continuous playback option, so they will always play one to the next to the next forever. So if you cant reach your phone right away when the episode finishes, it will just load the next one regardless of whether you already heard it, and if like I do you tend to stop when theres a few seconds left, it will rapidly play the final seconds of dozens and dozens of episodes without stopping. Really dumb and annoying. Show more

    Works well but requires location
    If you refuse to give this app access to your location data, it will count you as “international” and restrict some content. This reeks of the CRTC and their meddling, a familiar story. The live streams seem to still work, and you can select which region to listen to eg. Atlantic or Eastern. Quality seems stable and sounds very good to my ears. Show more

    Best media outlet
    I get all my news from CBC. They always have fresh, engaging, relevant and progressive-friendly content without annoying ads. The only quirk is I'm guessing unique to Alaska, which is an extra hour behind Yukon in the winter. Album art and captions are now out of sync with the radio audio by an hour. I'm not sure why and it would be nice to fix it but I guess it fixes itself in March again. Edit: looks like they fixed the glitch. Thank you. Now it's flawless. Show more

    Disorganized mess
    I liked the older app far better ...now it’s just a disorganized mess.

    Can’t see AirPlay devices in app
    I accidentally updated the CBC app on my iPad and now I can’t figure out how to send audio to my AirPlay devices. In the old app (pre October) it was right there with the playback controls. Is it missing? Is it moved? Unhappy. Update: CBC developers responded, it’s on the bottom of the full screen player. My experience is that sometimes the full screen player doesn’t scroll in landscape orientation on iPad and you can’t see the AirPlay option, but it’s always visible in portrait mode. Glad to have this working again, if sometimes just with a workaround, happy again. Show more

    Can I revert to old version?
    I do not live the new version at all. I live change and improved navigation in updates, but I can’t find shows nearly as easily, and what happened to My Radio? Help! Show more

    PLEASE tell me how to hear Juli Nezrella. I live a few miles south of the border, love Ms Nezrella’s morning music as well as the background of performers. Do I need to pay? I will if necessary. Show more

    Zero stars - terrible!
    They wrecked something that worked just fine before. Now I can’t even listen to simple items like “World Report” in the morning. If you have not yet updated to this version - don’t! I now only listen to CBC using the older version on a different device. Leave good things alone! Or at least make them better and possible to use. Show more
