One thing that would make this a better experience is by allowing downloaded podcasts to be played continuously instead of having to open the app in order to switch to the next podcast for the same topic! As some podcasts are only a couple of minutes long, and it becomes frustrating after a while. Other than that a great app for listening to the radio and the selection of podcasts is amazing! Loving the science related ones.

I love it i love listening to mike on heart 00s catch up he plays the best tracks that i used to listen to in my teens, but 1 frustrating problem!! I can be in the middle of a really great tune and then it just cuts off for absolutely nothing!! I have my Internet on and it's not the end of catch up, the app just shuts right off and doesn't come back on i have to load it all back up again, plus nothing wrong with my phone it's one of the new smarts so really don't know what the problem is!!
