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

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

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

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

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

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

Great interface and layout. Decent audio quality.

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

The CBC broke their app. Please give us the old app back!!!!!!!!!!!! Why would CBC delete functionalities from their app? I do not get it. I see nothing is this new version that is better than the last version. Show more

Miss the live stream radio

CBC Radio had a great app until the newest upgrade. CBC Listen is a downgrade. You used to be able to filter episodes by topic. Maybe you still can but I can’t find how. I liked listening to shows about science. No idea how that is accomplished in the new app. The new app is clunky and confusing. I wish I could give it less that one star! Hopefully, whoever designed this new look gets shown the door. What a pack of losers. Show more

I really liked the old layout because you could vertically scroll through the old random radio clips, but this one is just like the desktop PC version which I suppose is fine. The bigger problem is I lost all my saved and starred items to listen to in the future, it’ll be hard to go back and find what I wanted to listen to. Show more

The latest update wiped out all the saved content and favourites. It took me a while to find anything besides the marquee shows (I finally found the World Report after 30 min of searching) The new version is pretty, but not user friendly Show more

I would love if I could use this app for my clock radio, but the function doesn’t work — even if left in the forefront as required.

???

This used to be my favorite app. Since the most recent update it is constantly crashing. I hope this gets updated soon.

Trying to access most of the shows ends up in a crash. Did anyone even bother to test the app before throwing it on the App Store?

I like the app itself very much, but when streaming the live station CBC One, there is a constant popping sound that starts and stops intermittently, and that makes listening not so pleasant at all. Show more

I've listened to CBC Radio 3 for more than a decade, that is up until now. Unfortunately, anyone situated outside of Canada aren't permitted to listen in anymore. I thought removing your unique and talented hosts Lana Gay and Grant Lawrence was really shooting yourselves in the foot, but this far exceeds my wildest expectations. Hopefully whoever has been in charge for the past few years gets replaced as soon as possible. Thanks for the music CBC Radio 3, you will be missed. Show more
