Ratings and reviews

Edit: (After the most recent update it began opeming. I will give it stars until I can test more.) My recently installed app on my Android phone will not open or connect. A pop-up keeps saying the app keeps stopping - something that is quit obvious. Rebooting the phone has no . effect. Hate to give it one star, but since it can't be used, this is the only option.

The app has much to offer, but I had to google several times to find some of it. Surprisingly, the first hidden info was the schedule! CBC radio is important in my life. With a new phone, I'm listening to it live or to podcasts more via the app than on the radio or via my laptop. Podcasts of past shows are important. Offline listening is necessary. Intuitive ease of finding links and navigating to what one expects or hopes to find needs work. A few more words would help too.

Great app - in theory. I hope they've fixed the bugs now. For years it's been unstable, caused crashes. Required Forced Uninstall too often. The promise - live radio through the web - is good. I'm a HUGE fan of public radio. Now make the app work more reliably, please.
