I depend on the BBC World Service. Most of the time, this app works flawlessly, providing this worldwide journalism with some left-leaning bias, to be sure, but still unparalleled global coverage in broadcast journalism. The app did stop working for a couple of weeks this winter. I was still able to listen live through the BBC Sounds app (also good for its search feature), but I am grateful to have this World Service app back to depend upon daily.

Live player app (red bagde) doesn't work, as of mid January 2025. It always did stop about once per day, but now only the 5 minute news recap works. I have the latest release, I cleared the app cache, and I restarted phone (this used to work). Now, nothing. Help! I want my BBC, to coin a phrase. (I'm listening to video app (black bage), but it plays different shows.) Also, Call to Listen doesn't work (USA 617 number).

Apart from the latest app version constantly stopping the stream and forcing me to keep pressing the "play" icon, I've been listening to the World Service since the 1970's, from analog to digital the BBC is truly committed to the highest standards of journalism right down to this app on my phone. Bravo!!
