Lots of great content, but very buggy app which could be improved in many ways. Timeline on podcast screen usually doesn't move. Finished episodes often don't update in history, which is the only way to know what episodes you've already listened to. I've lost track of where I am in a podcast many times. I also can't figure out how to queue something to play next. And aside from all that, a lot could be done to improve discovery of shows, podcasts, and music that you're not already aware of.

I'm really not fond of this app asking me to accept its invasive cookies every few days. I always reject the ones offered as 'optional' (not including analytics, like everyone else), which default to 'accept' by the way; so stop asking me to change my mind. The audio content is fine, mind you; just don't turn the app into a marketing crawler to fund the effort of bringing public broadcaster content to its online audience.

Good but certainly not great. 1) The "Profile" part of the app where favourite programs are stored works only half the time. Frustrating if the idea is to start playback with only a few taps. 2) The programs are buried in several layers in menus. 3) I see the spinning "hold on" circle a lot. Please take away the unnecessary splashy stuff, and add more real functionality.
