Ratings and reviews

I try the app every few months to see if I can cast more than two tracks before things stop working. I don't have this issue with any other app. It's pretty sad. I really hoped, with today's release of an upgrade, that CBC would have fixed the Chromecast issue, where you only get one track playable before you have to stop and restart the stream for another track. Sadly, CBC Music is the only app I've found that can't seem to figure out Chromecast. Until it does, the app is worthless to me.

This app seems great at first, but it doesn't actually work. Crashes constantly; timezone detection doesn't work; almost completely unusable . I give it 2 stars only because if it ever worked properly it would be really good. Edit: decided to try this again over a year later and this app still just doesn't work. The issues above have not been fixed. Downgrading to 1 star.

Update: music constantly cutting in and out. I don't know if it's just my device or speaker but it sure gets annoying because I am constantly turning it on and off just to get it to play. Great that you can listen to radio 2 across the country but the app itself isn't that great; app turns itself on at random times of the day eating up data and it changes the on air zone all the time :(
