I would give it 4 stars if the announcement that comes on every 20 minutes or so to tell you what you're listening to wasn't so ridiculously loud and annoying. It's unnecessarily much louder than the music. The French CBC's stream announcement is much quieter & briefer. Can this be fixed please? I can't listen to it the way it is. To jarring if you're relaxing to something chill. It's surprising the lack of consideration for the listener. It's obnoxiously loud.

I've been addicted to this app for months because of the excellent variety (I'd like to see dance/ballroom/latin mixes and maybe a kids' mix). However, the latest version is very buggy, takes a long time to load and stalls between tracks--shades of the first streaming service CBC put together. I hope these bugs are squashed soon.

I installed this app because I wanted to listen to Tom Allen's playlist. The app only has a few playlists. I appreciate that the cost of music rights limits the selection but at a certain point it is pointless to publish an app because content is so severely constrained. The limited number of playlists along with the inability to search (not just for playlists but maybe for a song or artist that appears on a list) makes the app a waste. I'll delete it and hope that a new version with greater functionality comes along. It's really too bad.

love this app but a BIG BUG lately - always listened to this app, loved the music, then I recently updated my Samsung phone and now I constantly get a message that I'm outside of Canada and only have access to the international version. I am in Canada, not sure why I am getting this message, and now I dont have access to many of the features I really enjoyed before. Please fix this!

I really had high hopes for this app. I do love some of the CBC shows. The bad news is the sound quality of this app, it's pretty dreadful, internet radio can go from dreadful to quite good and compared to other radio apps I have this one is very compressed, lifeless, closed in sounding, leaning well towards the dreadful side. Hopefully the CBC can improve their sound quality.

Tried their one of their music streams - classical chamber music. l brushed the screen at one point and it returned me to main menu. all attempts to get back to the chamber music screen failed, although the music continued to play. When I tried to scroll through the classical list, chamber music had disappeared. At one point as I tried closing and reopening the app, it forgot my time zone. Lacks "last played" available on tunein and other streaming apps. A waste of Canadian taxpayers money.
